The Market at a Glance

 

 

Global

The global private tutoring market, encompassing all educational levels as well as vocational and language schools, is already a multi-billion dollar industry, and according to estimates from Global Industry Analysts, Inc. (GIA), it will reach the US $102.8 billion by the year 2018. 

​

GIA’s “Private Tutoring: A Global Strategic Business Report” reveals that most of the tutoring market – about 90% – is centered in the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific (notably Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and China).

 

 

Indonesia
Foreign Teachers Receive Ten Times Local Wage Most schools pay between six and eight million rupiahs (net) per month ($800-$1200) and some offer free accommodation alongside the salary, which permits a comfortable lifestyle.

 

 

Japan
Each year, more than 6,000 foreign language assistants from 40 countries receive 1-year renewable contracts to work in private and state junior and senior high schools. Anyone with a university degree who is under 40 is eligible to apply. The program is fairly competitive, partly because of the generous salary of ¥3,600,000 (about $44,000) in addition to a free return air ticket on completing a contract. A number of large private organizations recruit abroad. Most pay at least ¥250,000 ($3,000 per month). A major chain to look out for is ECC.

 

 

Korea
A typical package available through recruiters in exchange for signing a contract to teach a minimum of 120 hours a month is a salary of 1,800,000-2,400,000 won ($1,650-$2,200), return airfare, free accommodations, paid holidays, medical insurance, and a bonus on completion of the contract.
