I want to study some Korean, but not academically. I don't really want to do a language exchange because I don't want to teach anybody. I want to pay a little money and feel entitled. How much should I offer an hour? 40,000?

One of my student has a private English tutor. His tutor gets 10,000 won a session.

Honestly, I would start at 10,000 won an hour. If they are a qualified teacher then you might pay more.

40k is too much. 20-30 for a qualified teacher is reasonable.

I pay mine 50,000 for 90 minutes, but she teaches Korean to foreigners at the university level, so she's not an amateur.

for 15 minutes? if not his tutor is getting ripped off..

think about supply and demand.
While the going rate is around 50,000W for a native English teacher to tutor someone privately, back home in say Canada, the US or England, I probably wouldn't expect to get more than 10,000-15,000. Unless the person is a professional tutor or educator with lots of experience I couldn't see you paying more than that here.

More info: the tutor is a Korean. We're in a rural district.
I don't know how long is his 'session'.
