I took a job in the gulf and they promised $3,000 a month but after arriving they now say they can only pay $1,500. many who arrived are leaving because of this dirty trick. I\’ve a Master\’s in English and 8 yrs of experience. This was a waste of time

I dont see how thats possible earning that much in Korea when you only get around 2000/month in the US. I cant see the logic.

Teaching salaries in China have increased the last few years. I teach in Shanghai and make a little over 2,000dollars a month/120hrs per month. Honestly this is sad but any native Englsih speaker, regardless of BA or TEFL cert can come here,live well and save money. They don’t do background checks in Shanghai when applying for jobs and when applying for a visa it is far too easy to fake a diploma. Any go getter can make a decent living in China, the economy is very strong. Plenty of job opportunities. Average salary for a full-time teacher in Shanghai is 10,000rmb. Most expats take a part time job as well making around 200rmb /hr. You can make a good amount of money in the larger cities in China. More than you may imagine

I’ve been teaching in Australia for a couple of years now, teaching in EFL programmes at a university. Last year I was paid $80,015 before tax. I don’t think you can do better than that.

I agree with Chris – the Gulf is the place for making real money in EFL. Usually, the employer will at least pay for housing, transport, medical insurance and visa fees. The salary is also tax-free. I’m going there to pay off my student loans while learning Arabic!

I am not a US citizen but I do speak native like English. Would I be hired by schools outside the US like S. Korea, Gulf Area, or China? I have lived in the US for 18 years. I have an MA in Linguistics from the US, 14 years of teaching ESL and coordinating an ESL program of a school district. I have also taught ESL to refugee students under the umbrella of UNHCR. Total number of teaching ESL – 26 years.
