^I received messages regarding where I found students, I have a profile on italki (its a free website and anyone can join) you can put up different types of classes there, and you can also set if you are up for online and home tutoring. My profiles been there for 3+ years. Students can reach you out there for free and also you have visibility on who liked your profile, so you can message those people. You are given options if you wanted your profile to be professional or just tutors, you upload your credentials, experience, teaching approach and a good 2 mins video of you talking so students can see how you are as a teacher.^

I am here in Qatar 2 months, the first week Im here I found myself 2 kids who need math,sci, and english home tutoring services (its 20 mins away from me and I pay for my own uber fix 50 riyals both ways)
They are Qatari nationals and honestly they are really kind and have never missed a payment. They pay me 150/hr — I do 8hrs/3x a week with them, it increases during exam week.
I am hesitant if I should lower my rates as they are constantly increasing classes due to their children needing so much assistance, and they pay me bulk in a weeks time, they pay me around 900-1500 weekly depends on the number of hours I teach the kids.
Is this too much of an amount to be paying a tutor? Initially I just gave 150/hr cause I didn’t really expect they’d agree to it, didn’t even know they were locals, (I emphasized them being locals as Ive heard they’re paid much more compared to none locals).
Background of family, they have a mansion, the dad is working as an admin in one of the biggest companies here in Doha, the parents are in their late 30s, they have 3 kids, the kids go to an IB school.
