This is shady bar-talk. Not suitable for a class-act board like Dave's Korea.
Realistic answer is: as much as one can schedule while maintaining any personal time that may or not be valuable to the teacher.
Rule of thumb: sleep is overrated. |

Isn't that true only off school grounds? My school has asked me to consider privates, but stated I would have do them at school. I remember reading you can do privates at the location on your E-2 Visa. |

Asks the new guy. *beep* off and search the site. Private tutoring is illegal. Foreign teachers shouldn't do illegal things in Korea. |

But you fail to mention that the number of F-series visa holders teaching privately and legally is minute. Even those who have the proper licenses, be it home studyroom, or something outside the home, are charging more than the Education Department allowed rate... therefore making it...illegal. |

Your boss would have to charge them and pay you extra to make it legal.
If they pay the money directly to you then its illegal. Doesn't matter where it is.
Anyone whose boss wants them to teach privates need to encourage their boss to set up a program for it.

Which means any koreans doing private tutoring for anything (math is quite popular) is also illegal. In that case its on par with jaywalking.
However I'm told by a korean with a teaching certificate (She has a master's in education) that with a teaching certificate you can legally charge whatever you want for privates. I _think_ (highly stressed) that the rate limit only applied to people holding tutoring licenses. |

illegal, illegal, illegal...
you guys are retarded. There's a HUGE demand for foreign teachers to teach one on one or small classes outside of a hagwon. There are no police waiting to capture you when you do this.
Half of my Korean friends teach privately; math, english, other... They don't pay taxes, do not have licenses, but they are good teachers and parents pay for their service.
There is no limit to what you can charge. 9000/ hour! Are you kidding me? I have korea friends who charge 50/hour for 1:1 english lessons!
illegal...jesus..... |

And that's where you should stop your drivel, Mr White.
It is OK because your friends do it? Hey, I know a guy who used to rob convenience stores.....let's all go out and knock over a Family Mart. Surely the return for my time will be better than 50 000 an hour.
The simple fact is that it is ILLEGAL, no matter how high the demand, no matter how you dress it up.....IT IS ILLEGAL!!! |

I don't know where all of these: "It's ILLEGAL, it's ILLEGAL WAH, WAH,
WAH" people hang out, but I have never met anyone who DOESN'T
teach privates. I have a pretty big group of friends here and absolutely
everyone in this group teaches privates. Moreover, I don't think we have
ever discussed the heinous, insidious "crime" we are perpetrating on the
helpless Koreans. If we charge 60,000KRW per hour and there are 4
students in the group, then this is actually cheaper than sending the kids
to a hagwon. Add into this: No time wasting buses, small class, 1:1
parley with the mother about what she wants. It is superior teaching
for less money to the parents. This is bad? These "no private class"
laws were enacted due to pressure from the hagwon owner's association
who also lined the pockets of the politicians who pushed these free
market-disruping legislation through.
With the won where it is, crooked hagwon owners, high prices in Korea
I would say you would have to be an idiot NOT to do it. |

Apparently you've never seen fight club...
it doesn't matter if everyone you know does it. it doesn't make it any less illegal. It won't change the fact that if you piss off the wrong person who knows about it and they call immigration for a nice reward, you will be deported or fined depending on your visa. Now if you're really good at bribing it might change it, but it might not. Who knows how much that hagwon owner who just spotted your ad paid the official to go out and get rid of you. |
