So basically I’m dating a Italian girl. She gets 2500-3000 for a 2 hour session of private lessons. Not hating on her but just using her as an example. She hasn’t graduated college, she isn’t a native speaker and does not have a US, Canadian or UK accent. And no passport from a English speaking country and zero teaching experience besides now.
Meanwhile when I was teaching, Privates maybe like 600 to 1000 at best for one hour with a degree and a native speaker with 2 years of teaching experience. Plus I speak Chinese so I can literally explain things easily but yet thats seen as a negative.
It might be because shes a girl, and really attractive. She does tell me most of the guys do stare at her boobs haha. I’m glad I don’t teach English here anymore and moved on from that, but it seems like unless the way of thinking changes, people here will continue to have terrible English speaking skills.
