I think that a teacher could make a good living only working Saturday and Sunday and taking the week off. People are starving for Sat and Sun teachers!
I’ve seen people post about other people making up to $3000/hour (a poster I know off the forums as well and trust). I’ve had a friend make $2,500/hour. Both jobs were private jobs for not many hours/week. My friends job didn’t last more than a few months, but I’m sure it was nice while it lasted.
My friend has actually gotten more than just a few jobs like that. They always seem to be jobs teaching at a company (group of employees) or some kind of CEO (read high uppper management) type things.
these classes might sound hellish if I told u they have more than 150 students, learning a formula to pass ETS exams. But with the class of that size, it’s almost just like giving dictation.
Should be easy. Already have a few more classes lined up. Been waiting for ten years for this kind of opportunity…so we’ll see I guess
I got one like DM’s once many years ago from someone who simply refused to listen when I explained that I was not an English teacher, had zero experience, no lesson plan, no idea how to make a lesson plan… you get the picture.
To get rid of him I told him I’d need a grand per hour from everyone in the class – 6 people – cash up front for 8 weeks/2 hours per week, no refunds for no shows, etc.
When he jumped at it, what was I supposed to do? The guy shoved almost 100K into my fist and I’m going to refuse?
To top it off, he started having the classes in a private room at the Banker’s Club. Which was also nice – I can still taste the prime rib and the cheeseboard. And they renewed twice, I believe.
