							| Correcting essays - price? 
 |  
							| Hi, 
A pupil of mine has asked me to correct a few essays every week - just correct them. She �s preparing Trinity ISE II. The thing is I don �t know how much I should charge her. Any idea?
Thanks |  4 May 2016

							| I don �t think it �s ethical to accept money from your student, even if it isn �t related to your class.   Bruce  |  4 May 2016

							| I had a pupil who asked me to do this. I just charged my usual home teaching hourly rate divided by the amount of time it took to mark the essay. So at 15 minutes per essay, charge 1/4 of your normal hourly rate. If you usually add petrol costs or lesson preparation costs into your hourly teaching rate, factor it out. |  4 May 2016

							| I would rather find another person to do it than charge my own pupil. It just wouldn �t feel right. |  5 May 2016
