 |
|
| What is the market rate for privates in Taipei? I've heard of someone getting $NT 1000/ hr. I am new to teaching English but have a CELTA. Thanks for any advice. |

| I've charged NT1000, but I teach at a university, which tends to impress students more. NT600-800 is more typical. |

| It's going to depend on a few things: the student's ability to pay, number of students, what is expected and your ability to negotiate. I've charged as low as 500 per hour for a semi-friend who only wanted me to show up and have a casual conversation in a coffee shop. I've charged much more too. |

600 to 1000NT an hour is not unusual. You need to try to effectively size up how much the student is willing to pay.
Here is a bi lingual tutoring agreement you can give your students once you have agreed upon a price.
Good luck!

As teaching privately is illegal for most of us here in Taiwan, Aristotle is now promoting illegal activities. Shouldn't he be banned for posting this "agreement"? |

Teaching private students in a one on one environment in a private residence is not illegal on Taiwan for anyone. As a matter of fact, religion based home schooling for small classes is not only legal but a basic human right protected under international covenants.
Since the government began prohibiting certain races from teaching on Taiwan, home schooling has really taken off allowing non Chinese teachers to make a far greater income without having to deal with corrupt practices and polices of the occupational government and local business people who run schools.
We here at SSETT have assisted hundreds of teachers set up these kinds of classes on Taiwan. All perfectly legal and protected under international law governing religious freedom.
Essentially teachers make a lot more teaching to a much smaller group of students in a more comfortable environment.

More advice from our SSET friend. Too bad it is inaccurate.
There is absolutely no confusion as to the fact that teaching privates is most definitely illegal for teachers here on an ARC. The regulations are very clear in this regard. As a foreigner working here legally you are only permitted to work for the employer stated on your ARC - this includes volunteer work and teaching of privates. You are not allowed to do it - full stop.
Many people do however take on privates, and it is very unlikely to be a deportable offence if you were caught anyway.
This does however call into question the validity of a private teaching agreement as a contract based upon illegal activity is not a legally enforceable document.

Native English speakers have never been prohibited from teaching English in Taiwan. What are you talking about?

So you are admitting that you have helped teachers work illegally in Taiwan. Hopefully you explained to the teachers that you were helping them obtain illegal work, otherwise you are no better than the recruiters that you advise us all not to deal with. Shame on you Aristotle advising teachers to do something illegal without availing them of the facts. |
