I know this teacher called Carol and she asked me to do a demo class for 4 students and I said yes. Their English ranged from so so to not very good at all so it was difficult to do. At the end of the class only one wished to proceed which is ok. To my surprise the terms and conditions for payment are this,

If I want to charge 150 to 200 rmb for a one hour lesson then I must give her 100rmb for every class that I do. I was asked not to mention this to her neighbour and friend that wanted to have the class with me. So then I would have to charge this poor sod 250 to 300rmb each time and then give her 100 rmb for every class, I think not……. A one of fee might be acceptable but not for every lesson. I reneged on this offer and I feel sorry for the many people here that are being ripped off for English lessons. Maybe I am the stupid one but I could not charge up to $60 an hour for an English lesson.

This is the reason I will never be rich, but at least I can sleep easy in my bed at night.
