These tutors earn monthly basic salaries of Sh21,756.
The basic salaries for these teachers are paid depending on the areas where they work. Teachers who work in Nairobi get a slightly higher house allowance compared to those plying their trade in rural schools. But, all these tutors earn an equal amount of commuter allowance; which is Sh4,000.

Those working in hardship areas (get Sh6,600) plus those handling physically challenged students get extra allowances.
Remember, the commission pays a flat rate of Sh4,000 per year as leave allowance. This is paid together with the January salaries.
