50,000 KRW ($45)per hour for one student
60,000 KRW ($54) for blonde female "premium"
500,000 KRW ($446) The cost for the referral agency who found the English tutor

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard, if you're a gyopo or overseas-educated Korean national, you can charge a premium to teach English.
This is especially true for tutors who are either students or recent graduates of Ivy League schools. One friend told me it's almost like your high school matters more -- so a grad from Choate or Exeter (or TJ, to get DC metro-local) can charge at least 100,000 won per hour for English instruction.
Interesting, huh?
Wow!
ReplyDeleteExactly what is the agency doing to deserve 500,000 won? It must all those late night session with Johnny Walker that have to get paid for...?
