An Aussie apparently.

Ask for 5% more than you are currently getting from your current (or last) employer. And ask at the interview about education at the school for your two children.

15% , an accept 10%. Ask for 5%, get 3%.

Aussie indeed.... and a god bothered as well.

it's peanuts to begin but if you stick it out for a few years you'll get up to a decent salary.

Indeed some schools offer a good wage. I never met those schools. What I have seen is 35.000 baht for every working month. Contract usually only for a year. If they can find a Filipino for less, they kick you out.

My friend has a neighbor in his flat, he claims to have 100k/month. But, he was an USA teacher already and many other diplomas he has.

For an TEFL teacher you never be that lucky.

I was talking to one who gets 150k- 200k teaching and editing online in his underpants whenever he wants.

most of the estimates sounds very unrealistic
