What is the pay like as an ESL teacher?
Again, it depends. The ESL field is very “wide”. What this means is that the pay range is more connected to what the person/organization can afford than what the teacher is worth. If you are teaching in Toronto you could make between $13 an hour with no benefits to $30 an hour with benefits depending on where you are working. If you also have an MA you could make up to $40 or $50 per hour (these positions are highly competitive and in addition to education you must have years of teaching experience). The average pay is around $15 – $19 per hour in the private sector, and $25 – $30 in the public sector. Most of the jobs are in the private sector. People do not go into teaching ESL to get rich. 1.10.
