If you are a good middle/high school math or science teacher then you can pull in huge tutoring money in Kuwait and Qatar. That is on top of the $35-55k tax free salary you will be paid in these places. I've seen math teachers pull in double to triple their salary in tutoring alone in these 2 countries.[/quote]

I just wanted to piggie back on this statement. I agree! I am in Kuwait and teachers make more than a months salary in tutoring. If they work 4 times in a week they can earn $700 a week in tutoring. A Psychologist can make $265 for counseling 1 hour per week! The big money is on the side.[/quote]

Ill have my high school math license by this summer and plan on going to ME to save some coin. so it looks like I should aim for Kuwait and Qatar. The money from tutoring is like music to my ears.

Some of the top tier Aussie schools pay their heads in the order of half a million.

I used to work in HK. You can make $100 000 USD with 10 years experience and no additional responsibilities at most of the top schools (HKIS, CDN). 5 years and no responsibilities is $85 000 USD.
This is when you include the gratuity and before taxes.


[quote="Bodisalpha"]Actually in HK department heads, 2 i/c, and any teachers with additional responsibility are on the same salary scale, with TLR points that count towards extra money. TLR 1 (top) to a TLR 4 (lowest). Even on the basic salary sclae, with 20% gratuity, rent reimbursement scheme or cash allowance you would still be on US100K (with at least 10 years experience).[/quote]
