First year, probably most U.S. average out about...take home $2,600-3,000 roughly. And probably get $1,000 when you file taxes.
With bachelor and teaching credentials. I'm thinking in South Korea you make 2,000-2,500/month.

Public school, private school, international school, hagwan or university?
Qualifications:
Bachelors, masters, ABD, Ph.D. Certified teacher or not.
Type of teaching:
ESL, Subjects (math, science, arts).
The range would vary from as low as $1600 (1.8m KRW) to as high as $5200 (6m KRW) per month.
Many of the jobs for expats include, in addition to the base salary, things like: housing, medical, pension, accumulated severance and airfare (often annually). The amount of PAID annual vacation can vary widely as well from as little as 2 weeks if you work at a hagwan to as much as 4 months with some of the better university positions.

Don't be daft. You might potentially be able to work as many hours as you want doing privates (illegally if you're on an E2) but you can't charge people 1 million dollars an hour for your services can you? |

'Anatomy' sounds more likely for 1kk per hour.  |
