I know private tutoring is prohibited in this forum for foreigners but I'm a korean national, so i can't join the AFEK website(no visa), so I don't know how to the mod will react to this thread.
For those people who are in my shoes(korean national or of korean decent), which subject/test is frequently wanted in private tutoring and/or private hawkwon setting? and how much do you usually charge/receive?
I ask because within the next year or so, I plan to make a 6month trip(w/o using a recruiter overseas) to make some money for grad school/loans from undergrad etc. 80 percent WORK and 20 percent FUN(u kno u kno)
Thank you in advance(corrected)

A Korean national can't tutor unless they get a tutors licence.
You don't make that much doing privates anyways. There are way better ways to make the $$$ but most people wont sharez with you 
It's a special secret shared only by white man. |

You can make a lot of money doing all those things, but only if you have good credentials, such as teaching experience at a good foreign language high school/prep academy, high scores on those tests, a degree from a well known US university, and/or written textbooks about those tests. A combination of some or all these traits would be best. Which of them do you possess?
Also, people are nitpicking about your post because your grammatical and spelling mistakes indicate that you lack the very strong native-level English skills and attention to detail required to procure and (this is important) maintain students. If you don't have the ability to do well on the test, if you don't prepare adequately, if you make grammatical errors, and if you show any lack of competence in any way, you will quickly lose credibility with your students and therefore will not be able to keep their business. To teach private lessons for these tests, you need credentials AND have to nitpick about the details. |

Thank you, this is the kind of post I've been waiting for. As far as my credentials, I've been teaching at a hawkwon in the states for 4 years. I'm familiar with the new SAT, scoring above 2200+. My degree does not involve education but I've received it from a university known for its field in my degree. With about a year to prep before leaving, I wanted to know if I should be studying for something that is �hot� right now. Your information was very helpful.
When I�m online, I type like dis or this depending on how formal or informal the situation is. This is a public forum, so I didn't think people would critique my grammar and be absolutely useless in providing the information I needed (exception of some of course). |
