what do you charge?

OK, and how long did it take you to train to teach?

I started teaching after 5 years at the university but strictly speaking there is no training that would teach you how to teach (speaking about higher education here, not schools). It requires a lot of studying though but usually you do it yourself. Often you are on your own dealing with complicated tasks. I would say that the university gave me good foundations but 90% of the things I need to know to do my job came by self-learning. So it is one big constant retraining but that is what makes it interesting.

Here, I hope it's not English you teach...........

Sorry about my English, it was late and I was tired. No, I teach computer programming and other computer science related subjects. And I am not a native speaker

when i work in the colleges i get paid an hourly rate for hrs in class, a 31% add on for prep time, then on top of that i get 45% of that put aside for holiday pay, so it works out for every hr in class i get 1.88hrs money, so if i do 32hrs class time a week (thats a full wee haha) i get 60hrs money
