Why do only some countries pay english teachers well?

Post by rudder »

And it just so happens to be the countries I really wouldn't even consider going to:
China, Japan, Korea, Oman, Qatar, UAE, etc.

I want latin america to step up to the plate and double the english teachers' salaries.

3 factors manipulate the pay scale ..:

Cost of living.
Monopoly amongst schools.
Competition amongst schools to get the best teachers.

The countries you mentioned; the asian ones are competing for the best teachers. The Middle eastern countries are just richer, no tax worries & teachers salaries are tax free to so you get to earn more just because of that.
- It's easy to give, when you know what it's like to have nothing. -

- Develop a backbone, not a wishbone. -

Don't know what it would be like teaching in the Middle East. When I was in China the guys from that part of the world were the worst students - always walking out, talking on mobiles, sleeping, blah blah.

Chinese students are just so good to teach.

Are you serious or just trolling?
Do you know anything at all about the way the world works?
