Expected wage for English teacher in Phnom Penh

Hello.

Your last sentence is your answer. Variable it is, so nobody can give you a clear answer.

It's part of your adventure, you decided to live in third world country Cambodia and that is fine, plenty of happy expats living here.
But you have to find your way yourself.

As you might know there are a lot of expensive international schools, where you could earn more than in a local private school. So go for the international schools.

Visit them, drop off your CV with photo, try to get the name of the director or HR person, and call them for an interview. The more schools you visit, the more chance to get a job in a short time.

Also consider the large number of language institutes, for interesting wages in kind of part time.

Last but not least you could opt for tutoring on line. Many parents (specially Chinese) want their kids to get on line tutoring, either one-on-one or in small groups.  I have heard earnings of $20 per hour.

Good luck with your search.

Cheers.

You may want to check with teaching recruitment agencies such as Teach Away or Seek Teachers websites for legitimate certified teaching jobs.  I know Teach Away has at least one up on their site right now.  Good luck!
