Is doing corporate teaching a lucrative gig?
Corporate teaching is now paying as much as 600-800 baht an hour at some places so it can sound very attractive, however; very few teachers succeed at becoming ‘full-time corporate teachers’. The very nature of the beast dictates that most companies want their staff to study a couple of times a week in the evening so corporate teaching is often the icing on the cake to supplement your full-time salary from elsewhere. Exceptions to the rule would be hotel teaching and those opportunities where a company will employ someone as a full-time ‘in-house’ teacher. This kind of position can realise a salary of up to 70,000 baht a month for a bit of teaching, proofreading, editing, etc. These in-house jobs aren’t that easy to find though and often get filled through word-of-mouth.
