What is a reasonable rate for teaching ESL to parents at a private school in Mexico?
I have been asked to submit a proposal for teaching ESL to the parents of the kids that attend a private school in Mexico. Is it appropriate to propose that I get paid according to how many students I have or per class per hour? I am a first time teacher of ESL and not familiar with how this works.

In Mexico usually teachers in private schools are paid per hour....

People don't usually base their pay according to number of students unless you're tutoring one-on-one. I got paid $15/hour in the US. Not sure if that's possible in Mexico, but you can always ask for $10-15/hour.

Hi. First it is EFL, not ESL for Mexico. Secondly, are you getting paid by your students or by an institute? If you are getting paid by the students, decide what you want for an hour rate and divide that by the number of students in your class times how many class periods you have. But remember for each 1 hour of class time it usually takes 1 hour of out of class time for prep and admin work associated with the class, so remember that when you are making up your own costs. To this you should add the cost of transportation and materials, I predict 20% of my hourly rate will go into materials. So here is a quick calculation. If you want 20 USD an hour and have 4 students in your class, for 12 sessions and it costs you 2 USD for transport ion each way.: 20 (hourly rate wanted) x 2(for teaching and prep time) + 4 (for materials per class) + 4 (for transportation x 12 (number of sessions) you get 576 USD. Now divide this by 4 (the number of students) and you get 144 USD. Round it up to 149 USD and that is the cost per student for all the classes. http://fundingtravel.com
