Hi, i'm trying to do a bit of research, If your a parent of a child/teenager maybe you could give me some feedback.
Next year i'm planning to study French and German at University and I also have an AS level in spanish.
I was hoping that whilst I was at uni maybe I could advertise my services as a GCSE french/german or spanish tutor to school children struggling to understand a language.
I know that there are a lot of proffesional fully fluent private tutors around, but I would be offering my help at a much lower price, for example, a proffesional tutor would cost around �15 an hour, whereas i would be willing to help anyone from �8 an hour. The only thing that I am wondering about is that, if you were going to hire somebody to help you child, (or yourself even) then would you be hesitant to hire a student, or would the reduced price be appealing?
I know that I could help so many people, because despite not yet being fluent, I have done 3 language GCSEs and so i know the format 'with my eyes closed' and I have a high enough level of fluency thanks to my A levels in French and German to ensure I could help somebody learn for their GCSE.
If anyone could give me any feedback that would be great, thanks.

I live to the West of London and the cheapest I pay for a tutor is twenty quid an hour. For language practice for my son I would be happy to pay a student to converse for a reduced hourly rate, and answer the odd question if possible. Promote it as being a confidence builder for their language skills base. Parish magazines are reasonable to advertise in ... as are local shop windows. You did not say what ares of the country you are in.
