To anybody teaching in the UK:

I've got a meeting with a company tomorrow morning regarding potential work teaching a Malaysian Chinese employee. I guessed correctly in my initial telephone conversation with personnel that the student has a characteristically spiky profile, and I would potentially be concentrating on speaking and pronunciation.

My question is though, what to charge this company's training budget? I was thinking of aiming for �25 an hour and 1.5 hour sessions, the price to include my travel time. Not having done this before any advice would be welcome.

Thanks
Sue

Hi Sue
I'm no expert, but I would have thought that if it includes travel time, you should be asking �30/hr minimum. If they went through a school or agency they would be paying �40-�50/hour, I'm sure.

I agree, �30/hour at least. I used to charge �20 and was told I was completely underselling myself, or rather more crudely, 'that's what non-natives charge'.

Thanks guys (and for the privmails),

In the end I asked and got �25 and suggested a 10 hour initial trial which would suit both parties.

I've never done 1-2-1s before and with the advantage of being able to offset expenses against tax and update my CV into the bargain I'm happy enough.
