The
Philippines is a collection of beautiful tropical islands where living costs
are low. The only trouble is, the local people generally speak such excellent
English that there is little demand for native English
teachers. However, the growing Korean population in the
Philippines seek tuition at language
centres and if you have a relevant MA or PGCE
(or equivalent) then you may find work at a university or International School.
If
you have the
above qualifications then you can expect a salary
of from $1,000 USD to 2,500 USD per month.
The best
paid jobs are found primarily in Manila, Baguio and
Cebu. Again, if you do not have at least
a Masters Degree, TEFL
certification and over 2 years of teaching experience, your
chances of finding a paid English teaching job in the Philippines is very
slim. Also be sure that your employer
provides you with the correct
and legal work permits.
Working illegally in the Philippines will get you deported, fined and
possible jail time.
Unless
you are working at a university
or International School it’s best to arrive in the Philippines
on a tourist
visa and then ask your employer
to arrange a work permit. There are tight restrictions on this (unless you
happen to be married to a local). Food,
drink and transport are all cheap but accommodation prices vary dramatically
depending on on your budget and location.
Your employer
is normally responsible for arranging the payment of your income tax. Salary
will usually be paid on a monthly
basis.
