What’s the going rate for a one hour lesson with a native English speaker in the privacy of your own home? I understand if you were to go to one of the many language schools you’d be paying at least 500 baht per hour and be in a class of…...well more than one on one.

What’s a fair price?

PB found the link was to another forum. Please disregard.

the price is whatever the customer is willing to pay.

In Chiang Mai if the student found you through a personal recommendation, you might get away with 350-400 baht. If you solicit for students, expect to earn less.

In Bangkok you can earn significatly more.

I charge between 700 and 1200 bt/hr. The only people still at 700 bt/hr are ones who I have been working with for a couple of years.

My typical starting rate is 800 bt/hr if it is very close to a BTS station.

1000 bt/hr if it involves significant travel.

1200 bt/hr if there are more than one student.

I tutor physics and mathematics (through calculus).

Thanks PeaceBlondie, for your help .I did believe, at the time, I was doing 'Don't Panic' a favour.

TEFLMike, no problem

I agree with Loaded that in some places like Chiang Mai, a good tutor might charge only 350 per hour. But they should try to get more if they are good, have the references and resume, have a specialty subject to teach, find a niche of high paying customers, etc. Last year, a qualified teacher in an international school was only charging 350 per hour for two-hour blocks with primary age students.

thanks for the advise
