Tuition teachers in Malaysia can earn 5 figure income?
A discussion at the end of a blog post on the primary and middle school teaching profession in Malaysia discussed the plight of teachers: the stress and the lack of remuneration, although a noble one, is preceived to be a dead-end profession, promotion-wise.
Then someone commented that if one is smart enough, one can turn the opportunities around, and make your school a big marketplace to solicit for clients for your private tuition classess.
He gave an example: one primary BM/Chinese teacher in Petaling Jaya makes tens of thousands extra per month by giving 21 sessions of tuition class to 20 students at RM60 per student head per month. That works out to be RM25,200 per month before deducting electricity bills.
Wow, that would easily buy one of those massive LCD TVs!
