Eteachernumber1 Posted December 27, 2017 at 03:20 PM Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 at 03:20 PM I’ve been offered work teaching English to 6 x 6 year olds, twice a week, one hour a lesson. I’m not sure what I should be charging, what are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted December 27, 2017 at 03:24 PM Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 at 03:24 PM It depends if you want the work or you could take it either way but aren't so bothered. If the latter, I'd come up with a figure you are happy with and then double it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked friends of mine in Beijing (native speakers, qualified teachers). They suggested charging 400 to 500 for the group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChTTay Posted December 28, 2017 at 12:46 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 at 12:46 PM I’m not an English teacher either. I’d say it depends who they are. If they live in a penthouse overlooking central Beijing then 1000. 500 an hour would be what i’d day for 1on1. A group is probably easier than 1on1 so seems ok. If there are 6 kids I’d have been tempted to go for 600 for the hour. Chinese people would expect you to haggle anyway so you could go really high and see what they say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a different class where I will be teaching children English from scratch. That’s enough private gigs for the time being. I don’t suppose you would know of anywhere I can follow a free course online? I’m a little unsure of where exactly to start, logic tells me that the alphabet would be a good idea, but for the first lesson I will have limited access to materials outside of a laptop to show videos and some crayons to colour.

ChTTay Posted January 2, 2018 at 01:38 AM Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 at 01:38 AM If it’s from scratch and you’ve not much previous experience it might be easier just to buy a coursebook. Amazon china has most common ones. I’m not sure of the age of the students but the first lesson could just be something like numbers 1-5, basic shapes and maybe colours.

Baby Charlie Posted January 3, 2018 at 04:22 AM Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 at 04:22 AM Here is a great website that will help you in a lot of ways, you can use the free stuff or pay to join! https://www.eslkidstuff.com/ I paid the 25.00 dollar fee, and it was worth every penny! Good luck! and Happy New Year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden05 Posted January 25, 2018 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 at 02:14 PM Another good website is https://en.islcollective.com/. Their search function isn't the best, though. Regarding the pay, if you are the only one taking the money, then 600. If you have a TA or sth, then obviously less. Of course, you can always aim higher ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
