I used to live in Hong Kong when i was younger and did a little teaching in Yuen Long when i was there...

my parents have since moved back to America and i've been dying to go back ever since.

i've recently been in contact with a few agencies that help find jobs in hong kong for english teachers...

when i taught school back then, i didn't need to worry about rent and such, because i was much younger and still lived with my parents.

now that i'll be coming to hong kong on my own, i have NO IDEA what to ask/expect for a salary.

apparantly, they pay for a studio apartment (which is perfectly fine by me) and all i have to pay for is electricity/utilities, and food.

any idea what the bare minimum that i should expect?

i've been told to accept nothing lower than $2500 USD per month.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks

Just curious what agencies are you using for a job? I have been looking for agencies.

what kind of english teacher will you be? at a local school, international school, tutorial centre. do you have any other experience in education other than in yuen long and do you have any certifications?
