Real Estate Educators

Earnings

Earnings vary widely according to the subject, the number of courses taught, the teacher’s experience, and the geographic region where the institution is located. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, self-enrichment education teachers earned an average salary of $39,190 in May 2019. The lowest paid 10 percent of these workers made less than $21,400, while the highest paid 10 percent earned $80,330 or more.

Because many real estate teachers are employed part time, they are often paid by the hour or by the course, with no health insurance or other benefits. Hourly rates range from $10 to $39.

Benefits for full-time workers include paid vacation, health, disability, life insurance, and retirement or pension plans. Some employers also offer profit-sharing plans. Self-employed teachers must provide their own benefits.
