Private tutors in Spain
 

Dear tutors,

I would like to know how much you usually charge for an hour one-to-one lesson. Do you fix different prices according to the students� age? I teach children, teenagers and adults, and I am considering setting a monthly price because some of them cancel their lessons in the last minute and I sometimes lose money. I would also like to teach some lessons in pairs or in small groups, and I would appreciate your advice on this matter.

You can send me a private message.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I normally charge 15� an hour. 

Although I like your idea of it being monthly because they do have a habit of cancelling last minute!

I am interested in other answers too if anybody is willing to share publicly.

Hi Tash!

Thank you for your answer. I used to teach in a state school in the UK, and I don �t really know how much Spanish teachers charge for private lessons.

Let �s see what people say!

Hello Pay, it depends on the province... In Madrid, I charge 20 eur an hour because I go to their homes, in Asturias, my sister charges 15 and she goes to their homes as well, but it depends on the offer / demand market. Have a look at donprofesor.com, profesorparticular.com and check the prices on your city or town to try to ask for a fair price.

I agree with you that you lose money when they cancel on the last minute, this is something that really pisses me off and I dropped a few of my students because of that, I cannot keep an hour booked for them and they cancel every other day, sometimes they did not even tell me that the lesson was cancelled until I went to their home...

Thank you for your answer! It �s really annoying when they cancel the lesson without notice. 
I am currently living in Galicia and the prices here might be lower than in Madrid.

Do you fix a monthly price?
