About Foreign Language Teachers/Tutors

Foreign Language Teachers/Tutors...?
Is this a good idea?: -If i organized some type of after school class for me and my fellow IB kids (and other students interested) that would teach us a foreign language? (besides the two offered at our school.) - I was thinking Japanese would be good, since so many people at my school are so interested in learning it, but don't want to do it alone. - I was thinking about finding a teacher/tutor that could teach a med-large group of people (approx. 15-40+ people). - If the person charges a lot of money for it, maybe I could organize a fundraiser or ask the person to make a reduced payment for a large group of people... *so pretty much, tell me if this is a good idea, and more specifically, if it's possible. **(IF YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA AND ARE INTERESTED IN TEACHING A BUNCH OF IB/HONORS STUDENTS JAPANESE AFTER SCHOOL, THEN PLEASE LEAVE YOUR INFO/QUALIFICATIONS!) *you DON'T need to be Japanese.(i almost prefer a non-japanese teacher, it's somewhat more comfortable because they know how it feels to be in our shoes, but if they were japanese, we'd feel more authentic, like accent wise... So it doesn't matter.) *you DO need to be : -qualified. (ie. professional foreign language teacher/tutor. NOT someone who knows it, but cant really explain/teach it.) -patient/understanding. (IB/Honors kids can be a pain at times, but we learn pretty fast. An you might get some "otaku", which can get annoying at times...) -willing to travel to Glendale, AZ on a weekly basis. (maybe 2-3 times a week?) -relatively affordable. (if you charge by hour,maybe $10 per student(30) for 2 hours a day, 3 times a week, for a semester (18 weeks),then that would equal... ($10)(30)(2)(3)(18)= $32,400 ($15)(30)(2)(3)(18)= $48,600 *but if it was cheaper, say $10, then you'd attract more people...BUT we can talk about that later...) ** for more info if you're interested, e-mail me with your info! and then we can contact you/your organization and set something up with my school. (:D) thanks for reading!

Good question and great idea; too bad you guys aren't in San Francisco or I'd volunteer myself. Unfortunately, however, I doubt that Yahoo! Answers is really the place to find someone for such a specialized task. Have you considered posting this at Craigslist.com? You'd probably get a very healthy response from that. Good lucka
