can anyone tell me the average hourly rate for private english language tutors?

also, does anyone have any information on sdm english?

More than 40-45 YTL an hour will scare many people off. Less than 30 will make you seem unprofessional. Most people that I know usually charge around 40-50 for grammar and 30-35 for only conversation.... But, of course, other factors include amount of hours a week, distance you have to travel...

This has been covered before. How much do you think you are worth? Have you been recommended and how much can the student afford?

I know this has been covered before, and the answers vary wildy based on who is responding, but get this -
a group of 6 professionals calls me up, says they want a group private lessons, skill levels vary wildly, they will pay for transportation (they will send company chauffer) I ask for more than 45 ytl and they said it was too much!

just as a surreal esl reality check- 60 ytl/hr is not over the top for a group of six, right? I thought I was offering them a good deal! and, they called me! so there.

Consider it a lucky escape ,sounds like they would have been a right tribe of boneheads to teach .
