What salary can I expect or demand for a part-time and/or full-time English teacher in cram schools? or is there a chart or something in the likes from the government because I only see some for public schools.
qualifications: bachelor’s degree (non education - foreign service) + post-graduate studies of professional education, Philippine national teaching license, no full-time teaching experience (part-time and volunteer teaching only)
additional info: dual-citizen of PH and TWN (cannot speak mandarin tho)
where can I find jobs other than 104, 1111, tealit, teast?
There are facebook groups advertising part time jobs that tend to be like 600 to 800 NTD per hour. I don’t imagine they’re worried about your qualifications as much as results, appearance, and charisma.
The government schools were trying to recruit Philippino certified teachers, not sure what happened with that, but theoretically they should be a better choice for you…
not light at all, just medium skin tone I look southeast asian at most (little to no hints of chinese ), I have been applying in 104 and 1111 website (most offers are only 30-45k for full-time), does anyone of you know anywhere else I can find better salary job opportunities?
He’s asking for advice to be a teacher. Not a caregiver, or be in an importing/exporting business. I feel like you’re condescending him a bit, first inquiring about his Mandarin and then implying he should set his sights lower on some stereotypical position for SE Asians.
Cram schools usually pay part time teachers around 550 to 650 NT per hour. Full time jobs often fall between 55,000 and 70,000 NT a month depending on the school and location. Pay can be lower if you have limited experience, but having a teaching license helps.
You can check Facebook groups for teaching in Taiwan, local expat communities and school websites directly. Some schools post jobs on their own pages even if they skip the big job boards.
Dear God, sounds about the same as it was when I got here over 13 years ago… and probably had been the same for at least a decade by that point! Anyway, I think that some places still offer the bottom level of 600 but more places seem to be offering higher salaries, at least 650 and up to 800. But places like Taipei City are saturated and there are enough ah-do-gah with open work permits through APRCs and marriage who can fill those positions and there are fewer and fewer kids in Taipei City. However, some places in New Taipei have more kids, and Taoyuan and Hsinchu tend to have more kids, so probably better to find work there. Taichung and Kaohsiung might be better too if you’re just getting started and need an ARC. I keep hearing about how in Taipei City, very few places offer ARCs and that teachers living and trying to work in the city have to patch together a few part times jobs to make it. Not saying it can’t be done, but that it’s probably not for beginners any more. Best of luck.
a friend of mine who lived in Taipei for a long time (and for some reason never got an APRC) just recently left for Kaohsiung for a better job opportunity. I just assumed that it was better than Taipei… probably anywhere is better than Taipei. And what exactly is minimum wage? 600 NT for a crumb-school teacher, or actual Taiwan minimum wage? all the same, cost of living is lower in KH.
Actual minimum wage, like 200NTD an hour. Not terrible for an undergrad student, especially one from Indonesia or Vietnam. The cram schools seem happy to have them because they get an ARC through the university (legal without paperwork) and will take a low wage, the students are happy they’re not working in a restaurant. Drives down the pay for all the cram school teachers. I see jobs advertised as high as 1000 per hour, never met anyone making that at a cram school
Definitely lower cost of living in kaohsiung than taipei. I’m not sure how much better one unknown cram school opportunity is than the next, tho
