How about teaching in an online course as well? Maybe you could just teach basic words online to get by on holiday and then teach more Spanish in the home tutoring service? You could make videos to put on a website teaching people how to speak the language as well. It's just an idea, though. All the people you tutor could then have a place to go to after classes if they needed any help that way. You could possibly charge for a membership to the website.

Yeah! How about a funny Youtube promo vid, with Spanish translation of a popular song, or something riffing on a popular phenom e.g. Spanish things on my Spanish cat? Then a link to your website. I would say your or a friend's kids saying basic, funny Spanish phrases, but there are so many freaks out there... For a business website you have to make your address available via WHOIS, and I don't think they accept P.O. boxes.

If it went viral that'd be a lot of free publicity.

wigglebeena, you are being so helpful, thank so much;
I think I want a web site but I dont want to put videos of myself there, there are weird people out there, and i just don't want the hazzle.

Everyone is so clever, thank you very much, I knew it awas a good idea to post here !.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.

I personally wouldn`t pay £20ph but would pay £10. If it`s someone wanting to learn for business reasons, they might pay more, but they would probably want/need to learn quickly too. The `average` holidaymaker type customer who is happy with one lesson a week for as long as it takes i don`t think would pay £20 (£20x ?? =???).

Why not advertise at £15/20ph with the first 5 lessons at £10. get them in, get them hooked and then when you get to know them you will get a `feel` for whether they will stay on at the full price. If not, you can offer to keep them at £10.

Might also be worth offering a discount for paying in advance for xx lessons.
