Get email contact details for private schools in town or show up in person. Most of them need extra teachers on weekends and holidays - especially the big chains like WEB and Shane.
Be sociable and to foreign and Chinese co-teachers and they'll often pass you part time gigs, privates or contact info. The foreign language department dean at my school was always getting requests from locals asking for PT teachers. Depending on how laid back your FAO is they can sometimes line you up with gigs - I'd fully expect them to be getting a cut though.
Email recruiters and ask. I still randomly get PT offers from some.
Check echinacities for your town. Often has part time job listings.
Likely also a Hangzhou expat page too. Ditto for above.
Some people advertise on sites like 58.com that they are looking, but I think it's *perhaps* a little risky, and the friends I knew who were doing it just got full time offers anyhow.
Network, baby, network!
As far as what is a fair pay if you ask on here you'll get all kinds of fantastic figures for what people claim to be making for privates. 600/hr kinds of rubbish complete with accusations that you are destroying the market if you accept anything less. Much of it seems to be based on wishful thinking and delusion rather than fixed to any grounded reality. Shoot for 150~200 per hour for a city like Hangzhou. Try to get a few hours blocked together to make it worth getting ready, travel time etc. If you can make more - great, but that's a semi-standard type rate for Tier 1.5 cities like Hangers. |
