Answer 1

It depends on how 'official' you want to be. If you want to be endorsed by Princeton, you need to contact ETS directly and ask them for the requirements. In any case, you also need to comply with local legislations regarding language teaching.



Another option is of course to simply promote TOEFL coaching (at first, at least), and help your students sign up for the exam: the better they do, the more prestigious your school becomes.



It's a long painstaking process but if you want it badly, then you'll get there eventually. The first step is to contact both the Mexian government and ETS: http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.fab2360b1645a1de9b3a0779f1751509/?vgnextoid=69c0197a484f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD
