if a Net makes 2 million, how much does a typical korean make?

[blackjack]

i've met koreans who make between 1 million and 4 million in hagwons, depending on experience, role, management responsibility, boss and how much shit they are willing to put up with

[OculisOrbis]

in my experience, most regular k-teachers in hagwons make between 1 and 1.5 mil.

korean teacher who works with me makes 1.7

[some waygug-in]

In the hagwans I've worked at, the Korean teachers earned about 1 mil -1.5 mil.

However, they taught significantly fewer classes than the foreign teachers,
usually about half as many.

They did have a lot more work to do/class though.

From 1 million won to about 2 million dollars.

Flame away, but it's the truth.

It depends on what area they teach. TEPs and special classes like that will always bring in more.

A talanted and well educated KET, who consistently produces results, will make much more than a NET. However, they may as well live in the school, as they will spend ALL their time teaching; think 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

what about koreans who teach kids, 9-15 yrs old. just regular english tutor type stuff?

[OculisOrbis]

most of the regular k-teachers you are referring to will be getting paid around 1 to 1.5 milllion per month, maybe a little more

GF was looking for job recently. Average for regular elementary school-age hagwon work is 1.5 million with no benefits. Don't believe the BS people post that they get paid more. Of course there are exceptions but for regular jobs, no way.
