Hi, I would like to know how would the procedure of payment/contract is like when you do freelance in the advertising industry?

SGD2.8k for 3 years experience is too too too too low.
Even fresh grad (Singapore uni) get that amount.

Obviously they pressed your salary because you are considered as foreign workers like bangla or indon....

Wow... look at the figures.. i feel ashamed of myself.... study so hard and good for nothing in my life

only std 6 education...
SO impressed...

I am not sure how exactly the figure work out...for the tuition teaching cousin...
Lets say 1 student per subject is RM35. Each student take 3 subjects on average.
that's RM105 per student

i class, he can accomodate 30 students-> 40x105= RM4200
3 classes= 3 xRM4200= RM 12600?

rmb? he is popular...
the point here is to tell u all that a tuition teacher and fish monger can be very damn rich.....

Hanming1996,

u r still young, do you know how I earn my first RM1k before the age of 16?

I scored straight As in PMR and my relative gave me reward! RM1k... study hard dude.

teaching is not difficult... trust me, i tried it..

my cousin always ask me to teach along with him at tuition but i dont want even the $$$ is good..
i simply dont have the heart to cheat ppl's money... its "pian chiak" and tipu makan....

a lot of ppl just teach tuition can become $$$ include music as well @house to house

Teaching music won't really will be rich. Only if you are famous. Then can demand higher fees & alot of student.

Remember teaching music is mostly one on one. How many student you have in a day it count.

If average RM100 fees per student per month for 30 minute. 1 day average teach 6hours for 5 day.

6hours/0.5hr X RM100 X 5days = RM6000.

But you must have 60 student to make up the figure. Which quite few teacher have that much student.
Average teacher will only have 20-40 student at most.

If you teach house from house, the teaching time will be half.

Is it that teaching Pop/Jazz are more expensive? Didn't realise that.

I'm use to be a Classical Guitar teacher, pop are quite easy, & no need special skill & technique. So I charge same rate as Classical. Only thing trouble is Pop song available for guitar are limited, you need to arrange it for student.

Anyway teaching music not as that easy & can earn a lot, my friend full time teaching Violin in Yamaha, most student are beginning to Grade 3. Although the school assign all Violin student to him, but still only have 20+ student. Teach during Thursday to Sunday. So far the paid not >2k.

Ha ha.. it seem we discuss in the wrong topic. Anyway is nice to meet people who know & teach music. You teach in music school or house to house?
Of course, teaching pop is quite relax, no technical stuff to teach. Some more in some level just teach them how to arrange song like organ/keyboard player do. Just learning accompany & chord is enough. But normally pop song student won't be long term as compare to exam base student. They can learn when ever their sweet time, but exam student sure will bind to you till the exam over. Of course, a bit stress, but sure you can know whether they can pass or not before the exam. So just honestly tell the parent the student situation & confidentiality level.

For me, Teaching music is just as a hobby, may be a sub-income. It never can replace my main profession (Accounts & Finance)

ic ic, maybe piano are very popular which have alot of people want to learn, so you dun mind of losing student, & lot of nice pop song compare to Classical Guitar. And a lot of people have wrong impression between Classical & Acoustic Guitar. So I always emphasize to classical then pop in my teaching. Thus, Classical Guitar student will be not so popular, & most student are from 10-20 years old. Rarely have 5-10 years kids learning Guitar.
