Privat teaching - What shall I expect? -
06-13-2010, 04:50 PM
Hello everybody!
Right now I am in Japan and I am earning a little money as a waitress at a restaurant. I thought of teaching English as well (I am German native speaker, but it is not really popular here and according to my university my English level is good enough to teach it at least to Japanese).
I already got a privat student and since I did not know what to take for 1 hour, I asked my Japanese friends. All said 2000 yen might be okay.
She said, since I am a starter and learning Japanese right now (heading to 2kyuu recently, and wondering how my Japanese studies influence my English...), she will give me 1500 per hour. But we always meet at a cafe and of course I have to get there. And she only wants to meet 1 hour every week. So in the end I teach for approximately 800 Yen per week.
So my question is:
How much money should I REALLY expect (and how can I tell her that 1 hour a week won't improve her English at all)?
Does anybody know some good websites that are trustworthy and where I may become private teacher for German?
Thank you!
