Looking through the searches I found only one extensive thread regarding pay rates in Germany. It was created in 2003 and the last post was in 2007.

So I think another thread about pay rates should be fitting.

I am currently making 14 Euros every 45 minute lesson at Berlitz. Freelancer. Had no teaching experience before.

What are you making and with which company?

Well, from what I've heard, for Berlin, pay rates seem to be anywhere from 10 to 35 euros (per 45-60 min.), but can be much higher, esp. if coaching is done.
Your rate at Berlitz sounds about normal for language schools here.

Yes, I'm considering moving to Germany sometime in the next couple of years or so (I'm currently working in the Gulf region) and would really appreciate some up-to-date information on what kind of rates of pay can be expected there. Specifically, for someone with CertTESOL, Delta and MA TESOL and several years' experience, plus pretty good German. I know that most places will not pay much in Germany for English teaching, but I have heard that working for a university or in-house for a large company can both be decent options. I'd be interested in knowing which of these options would tend to offer better pay (and, preferably, what kind of pay range to expect).

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if there is exact info on toytowngermany to what you are looking for with your qualifications, but there is quite a long thread on jobs and pay for English teachers in Germany. Sounds like you have the experience and quals.
