Currently I am paying $12 per hour for private language tutoring lessons. Since I don't have the time to attend a class, it's very convenient for me to have a person teaching me in the privacy of my own home. I think it's a good price for the lessons that I am receiving from this certified teacher and native speaker. Have you ever paid for private lessons for yourself or your kids?
I haven't tried that yet, but if I really wanted to learn something and the only way that I can learn it 100% is through hiring a private tutor, then I will allot my money to pay for one. So far, I have been only offered free tutoring lessons from people who I already know.
