      Native speaker of what?

      A native speaker of English won't earn much, as there are a whole bunch, but a
      native speaker of Reformed Egyptian would be worth his or her weight in Umim
      and Thummim.

        He might not get a lot of work though.

        English natives get from 25 to 90 zl. for 45 minutes. The latter only at a few
        renowned schools. The average would be around 30-35 zl. Another 5-10 zl for a
        rare language.

        I just raised my prices because I have too much work. For Danish lessons I now
        charge 100 zl. for 90 minutes (120 zl. outside my office). Only a small
        proportion of people in this city are able to pay such a price, and I would
        probable get three or four times more clients if I charged 50 zl. for 90
        minutes.

        I charge the same from language schools, but they all claim it’s too expensive.
        They only call when they have an individual client who cannot find my adverts
        on the Internet.

          True. Joseph Smith kinda cornered the market on that one.

          Note to readers - he's worth every penny. He will never short change you on the
          time like some teachers do, and he takes time in between really to tailor the
          lesson to your individual needs. He even allowed me to record the lesson so
          that I can still listen back and brush up the things we did back then and not
          go over them afresh when I restart. He also is able to provide you with a lot
          of cultural background about his country.

          I think the way to go might be to start to develop groups. You could take 40-50
          PLN per head and put them in groups of 3 - 4 and really cream it.
