These all pay $8/hr, I think. The only one I'm missing is Key Languages, couldn't find any information on the net.

$8 an hour would be a little high for the local market. Fulbright probably is around that, though the schedule can be pretty hardcore.

Most of the schools in Quito pay a range, from around $6.00 to a MAXIMUM around $8 and hour, depending on experience, time with the organisation, etc.

If you earn $600 a month, in Quito, you can live an alright life, unless you're extravagant. More that that, and life can get very comfortable.

Best,
Justin

PS- I don't have Key's details with me here, but will post them Monday or Tuesday. REputedly a great place to work.

Just out of curiosity, how is the pay for private students?

[Justin Trullinger]

Not too easy to find, and unreliable.

Most adults who study English either do so on the cheap (which rules out privates) or have the classes paid for by their place of employment. If it's the company that pays, they want formal bills, etc, which most private teachers can't due. (Depends on visa status.)

The only exceptions to this are occasionally parents paying for private classes for their kids, or extremely well off people.

But classes are notoriously unreliable, will refuse to pay for cancellations, no matter how last minute, and will end at any time, without telling you.

For putting up with these headaches, you can charge about $7 to $12 an hour, depending on your target audience.

Always put your initial price a little high, as there is no price that is not subject to negotiation.

As you may note, I've never cared for private classes.

Best,
Justin

I found teaching rich kids to work, Also depends on the location, up north in Peru I got four times less than what you could get in LIma.
