What did your ad say, and where did you post it? €25 an hour could be quite steep depending on where you are. You might also be up against other people (who might have been doing private tuition for a while, and so have a group of students, who recommend them to others).
I've only ever done private lessons once, and I charged lower than what you want. I knew the family beforehand, which is why they asked me. I regularly get asked for private lessons through people I know, friends of friends. (I also regularly turn private work down as I have no time, but that's a different issue.)
In my opinion, you need to be patient and you need to build it up. Give away the first lesson free perhaps, get to know people, show yourself as someone serious and professional, etc etc.
Also, right now might not be such a great time. People are just about finishing their last month before school / university ends. |
