It drives down the going rate for the rest of us. Please, be smart people. Your time is valuable, and so is English.

English tutoring for 15,000won/hr (Seoul)
I am an experienced English tutor that has been working in Seoul for the last six years and I am pretty confident in my teaching methods.
Working with people of all ages and professional/social backgrounds. Specialized in improving your communicative, reading and proper vocabulary usage skills.
As the title says, an hour with me costs 15,000won. I prefer to meet at coffee shops or other public but quiet places.
Available to travel to your area if you are near a subway station. |
나쁘다! (>_<) |

WT are on one crazy crusade against teachers and what they charge for privates, that's all you ever talk about on here and IM's.
But I agree with you here--15.000 is ridiculously low and bad for the market. |

| That's crazy low - but I suspect you're getting what you pay for there. |

| Would it be wrong to say that, that's the meaning of competition and why corporations are against having competition? However, I would charge differently on the type student I have to be honest. Some kids are just harder to deal with than others. |

You're absolutely right. I was thinking that but didn't type it out before. |

| Parents will pay more if you are qualified and are recommended to them. Let the plebs teach for peanuts. |

Good grief. I charged more than that for privates when I was a college student with no experience to speak of.
Oh well, let the poor sap walk away from the consumer surplus by charging that rate. If you are concerned that the market price for your teaching services will suffer, don't worry. He has no influence on the market as an individual. |
