Private English Language Lessons

How much should I charge for private English lessons? Setting rates for private English tutoring should reflect your teaching experience and qualifications. Beginners in the field typically start with rates from $15 to $20 per hour. Experienced educators with a solid track record and additional credentials, like a TEFL certificate or specialized training, can sometimes charge up to $50 per hour. Many TEFL teachers complement their main teaching roles with private lessons and may eventually move to full-time tutoring. When establishing your fees, consider factors like your experience, the local demand for English lessons, the cost of living in your area, and what the market can bear to ensure competitive yet fair pricing.

However, determining the right pricing for private lessons can be quite challenging. How much should a newly-qualified teacher charge? Although it is evident that a beginner teacher cannot demand the same rates as a seasoned one, undervaluing your services isn't necessary either. Upon completing a TEFL certification course, you will likely find that students are eager to see what you...  [Read more]

Mon, 15 Jul 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Individual Lessons vs. Group Lessons: What Works Best for Teachers? Teaching is probably one of the most rewarding professions that can exist. I've always dreamed to be a teacher, being able to make a difference and be the one students can look up to.

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Adapting to the Differences Between Group Teaching and One-to-One Teaching Lesson planning for an individual ESL student can be successfully adapted from lesson planning for a group once the teacher recognizes the differences and similarities between teaching a group and teaching an individual in a one-to-one setting.

These concerns address seven issues: student needs, student talk versus teacher talk time, trust between teacher and student,...  [Read more]
