tpm11260 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I've been working in Yangon for two months and our school is trying hard to find English language teachers. Is anyone interested in relocating to Yangon? It's an interesting place to be right now. Things are developing very quickly yet Yangon hasn't lost its charm. Let me know if there are any teachers out there who would like a stint in Myanmar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangmai Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Anything is possible. I drove a school bus for 630 THB per hour, plus the extra money I made pulling old computers out of curbside trash and hauling firewood. Money talks; BS walks.

simon43 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 When I worked in Yangon about 2-3 years ago, the biggest problem was the lack of suitable accommodation at a fair price. I can only imagine that this problem has got worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It's not surprising that SEA are struggling to fill vacancies for English teachers,considering the the poor salaries,even worse these Teachers are sacrificing their peak earning years to acrue a pension for a pittance of a salary! small wonder good English Teachers are not so plentiful! No I am not a Teacher,I couldn't afford to be one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It's not surprising that SEA are struggling to fill vacancies for English teachers,considering the the poor salaries... Poor salaries? In Yangon (3 years ago), I was taking home $2,500 - $3,000 USD a month (tax free), including overtime. I was working for a bilingual, private school, not a 'real' international school. And the only teaching qualification I had was a TEFL certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarontendo Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 What's going to be offered in Burma for a teacher that they don't have here? Money is probably worse, accommodation sounds worse AND more expensive, more third-worldy than here. Sell us on the chicks at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 But I understand you also have a MSc. Yes indeed, but in space and satellite technology, not a subject really related to education Sell us on the chicks at least.. I found the 'chicks' very nice. But unless things have rapidly changed, you need to either speak Myanmar-sa or Mandarin, because in the 'show-bars', those were the only languages that the ladies knew, apart from sign language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDave Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I think a lot of people with other degrees are teaching English, I do not think that qualifies then to be called English teachers. Nor does a quick TEFL. probably one of the reasons why the standard of English in Thai schools is shit. Burma could be the next big place for English teachers. Most places have got to be better than Thailand, minus the cheap pussy Thailand sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
