Question: How much can you earn teaching English in Spain? Can you live off the wage?
Answer:
In Madrid, it is easy to get 1,000€ per month. With a bit of luck and perseverance, you can get up to 1,500€ with no problems and with a bit more experience under your belt, it isn't impossible to get 2,000€-3,000€. But even the basic 1,000€ is considered a 'normal' salary in Spain and, providing you don't have high expectations of what you are going to do with your money, you should get along fine with this.
It allows you to live in the center of the city, eat out regularly, go out at the weekend and even allows you to take some weekend trips to other cities in Spain.
Unfortunately, though, teaching in Spain only lasts from mid-September until late June. For the rest of the year you'll be unemployed, unless you're willing to work on a summer camp for kids in July and August. Easter and Christmas also hits most teachers quite hard as few employers pay when there aren't any classes.
