[ESL Hobo]

Just wondering if anyone knows the going rate for teaching privates to doctors, businessmen, and their kids.
Thanks

I'm sure someone out there truly knows what can be made after awhile of making connections etc... can earn. I'm not one of those.

I once "taught" a 2 year old kid basic words for 150 an hour.

I was once offered 250 to teach a business class at some company in Songjiang. I assume others are paid more.

Sometimes I wonder about branching out on my own and becoming a professional hobo. If you're really interested, I suggest "using the search feature" of this wonderful website in order to read more of what was written by Grizzly Adam's in Canada.

According to the Webster's American Dictionary - a "hobo" is someone who goes from town to town earning his keep.

Personally, I don't really like the idea of having to work. It is an anathema. I'd rather be on permanent vacation.

But, unfortunately, I realize that it is something that most people must do. With that in mind, I don't understand why anyone would want to hustle around town hoping to earn 1k a day. I am willing to bet it can be done, but, I'd rather be a "tramp".
