Set your own hours and teach Chinese and Koreans. There are many other asians here besides Vietnamese.
They don't like going to viet language schools.
Eventually I plan to faze out the language schools and just teach privately.
A huge untapped market is out there just waiting for the right teachers willing to hustle a little. |

It's based on referrals. It's very inconsistent. I know regular private teachers of non-Viet nationalities (Koreans and Japanese) that are very slow and have been slow for a year. |

That "huge untapped market" has been there for a decade or more, do you think you're the first person to discover it? As Oneonta implies, it is pitfall city. |

Definitely seasonal; adversely affected by the economic crisis; but it certainly exists (as it does in every major metropolis in the world, btw). So far, no one here is targeting these teachers as they do in some places. |
