How much should I charge for giving tuitions in Abu Dhabi?

Question

I want to start giving tuition to students following Indian curriculum upto grade 5, preferrably in English and Hindi subjects. How much should I charge them. Shoud i charge them per subject.How many days a week should i teach n 4 how many hrs per day.

I live in Abu Dhabi so where n how can i advertise this to start getting students.

Answer 1

My best guess would be to go to another institution, and ask how much they are charging for the same subjects, then u can go accordingly

Answer 2

Teaching till 5th grade wont fetch you much. But having said that, you might probably earn about Dhs. 400 - Dhs. 600 if regular for a month!

Try to get hold of some contacts from various schools. I bet plenty of teachers are having a side business of tuitions! They might help you to get the kids!

Answer 3

I have no clue about tuition fees, but:

I do know in case you desire to do additional work on a part-time basis after your official working hours you should obtain your sponsor's, as well as the competent authorities' permission, and work with specialised institutes, otherwise you will be in a legally questionable situation.

Ask at Indian schools or at http://www.uaeforums.org/

Take care.

edit: you can work under your husband's sponsership but if you would work officially, you would need a labor card.

Anyway: as long as things are going smooth and there are no conflicts, you are good to go. Talk to Indian school's principals about how much you should charge for tuitions fees and put your offers on the school's blackboards. Maybe teachers at schools also are willing to recommend you to parents. Good personal relations (teachers/ parents/ tutor) will help.

Bottom line is: as long as nobody complains, you are good to go.
