Sounds reasonable, but teaching kindergarteners is hard work!
I wouldn’t call a living wage “tons of money” but yes, a seishain position would pay about that much.
I usually see 170,000-230,000 as entry level salary on job posts. English teaching jobs typically don’t go much higher. Rarely you’ll get lucky and find one that offers up to 300,000 a month.
350k is tons of money?
That would be about the ceiling unless you got tenure at a university, but you would need a PHD for that.
I had a friend who got about that much, before she burned out. She was working pretty hard and 6 to 8 classes per day mon to sat was common.
Working at a private high school earning around 6 million including bonuses. A decent salary is definitely achievable, but expect to do a lot more than just teaching.
It’s high stress just like being a teacher in any country. I’m already thinking of an exit plan.

Edit: it’s horrible
I’m making a lot compared to other schools (As low as 180,000)
