ESL teachers in Greece typically earn US$529–1,176 per month (0 - 1,000 EUR) and can save US$0–1,040 per year. Private tutoring US$12–24/hour adds to that. Figures come from Oxford Seminars' Greece at-a-glance data, updated with current exchange rates.
Preferred rather than legally required in most cases. EU citizens have the simplest path to work; non-EU teachers usually need employer sponsorship or a freelance route, where a degree plus a 120-hour TESOL/TEFL certificate makes candidacy realistic.
A certificate is expected by most employers in Greece, and a 120-hour TESOL/TESL/TEFL certification measurably improves both starting salary and placement odds. Oxford Seminars graduates also get lifetime access to the Job Placement Service.
Typical start dates in Greece are: September, January, or year round. Applications typically run 1 - 4 months ahead of your start date. Private institutes (frontistiria) staff up each autumn.
