I'm a qualified schoolteacher living in the UK with a PGCE in teaching modern foreign languages from Cambridge University. I have two years experience teaching French, Spanish and Russian in a secondary school. I have a possible private student wanting to learn Portuguese, how much do you think I should charge per hour. (I have two years experience living in Brazil and my Portuguese is as fluent as you could wish from a non-native speaker) This is my first private student - I don't want to charge too much, but I also don't want to charge so little that it looks unprofessional.

Phew - thanks folks - I had already said £15 per hour but was wondering if I hadn't overpriced it as I saw a couple of adverts for Spanish tuition in London for £8 an hour. You've reassured me that I've done the right thing. OK, will just have to wait 24 hours to pick the best answer now.

Your a professional and have invested your time and money in learning the languages, and in the case of Portuguese, living in Brazil. Charge a professional rate, I would suggest no less than £20,00 per hour.
Good luck.
