Has anyone got a link for the rules that an E2 visa holder has to abide by? I'm looking because I want to know about teaching a student away from the actual building I'm employed at. I know that you're tied to your employer, but I'm not sure if this counts as private tuition or just an extension of my job.

My hagwon boss has asked me to teach her daughter privately, at their home. The extra payment would be coming from my employer, but the location would be different. I'm looking at the immigration website, but it only mentions entering the country.

I'm not 100% keen on doing it, legal or not, so a nice easy reason to say no would be awesome...

As an E2 teacher you are not allowed to teach except at the school listed on your ARC or at another registered location of the same school with the same owner. You are not allowed to teach in anyone's home - unless they live in your school.

You are not likely to get caught, especially since it's for your boss at her home. Saying no would make things quite difficult for you at work, so this is a problem. Maybe you can suggest that you would prefer to teach her daughter at the school. You can mention that you are uncomfortable with the legality, but a better reason might be that you have better resources, a classroom and feel more comfortable teaching in that environment.

Thankyou for that, I was sure that was the case but I figured she would know if it was legal or not so I started questioning it. It shouldn't be too awkward, hopefully she'll understand why I'm saying no since she's quite kind and reasonable.
