Native English speaker classes rate needed

[on the brink]

Hi, I would like to know the going hourly rate charged for private English class, by a native speaker - American college graduate.

Does anyone know what the current rates are? Been out of the market for a while. But thanks to Milei I'm back in,

Hi, does anyone know how much private English classes cost? American native speaker, for one hour, or 1 1/2 hour classes.

I've seen $12,000 - $16,000 online and some as low as $6,000 for a group setting. I would suggest you check Craigslist, Facebook and Reddit to see comparative offers in your area.

Hey, On The Brink.

I'm currently charging between $21,000 - $26,000 per hour for a 1-on-1 class. In part, what I charge depends; for "conversation" or relatively simple "apoyo escolar" classes, I charge less, while if it's something like IELTS/TOEFL prep or for ESP, it goes up.

I'm finally getting comfortable charging higher rates, in part because many of my students come to me via my teaching website, others are through word-of-mouth recommendations. In terms of my professional background, I've taught ESL/EFL more than 21 years. BA in secondary education and Spanish, MAT in ESOL from a US university.

I'm hoping in the future to be able to charge more (not just in Argentina) when I am more specialized in my specific niche (i.e., working with students with special needs). I've learned over time that it's not just a TEFL/DELTA certificate, nor "native speakerism" that makes a teacher worthy of charging a higher rate; it's their USP (unique selling point).

Just something to consider. Suerte!

Thanks, V V..... that's exactly the kind of information I needed. Now I have a starting point.

Best of luck with your academy. Although I have a hunch that with your wise attitude, and good judgement, you are the kind of person who makes her own luck.
