Hi Student Lass it would help if we could see some of the work you are proposing to teach as we have not seen your work on here before i dont think! and then we could help more in suggesting how much you charge for this

Not sure how that would work Student Lass. If anyone needs help online they can get all the help they need in places like this for free.

Hi Student Lass,

Sounds like a really good idea, hope it goes well for you. Although, if you are going to do this in English, you may want to get somebody to translate it for you properly otherwise if you have loads of grammar mistakes in it you won't be taken seriously like the woman in Emeralds clip above.

What is your native language anyway, because you've picked up English really well and English is one of the hardest languages to learn?

**geti-titanium** · 14-02-2010, 04:00 PM

Apologies Student Lass, I've just been advised that you are English. In that case with regard to tutorials on the internet, I would still advise you to get somebody to proof read your articles for you.

Poor grammar and spelling will not help make you stand out as an authority in your field. People will think, rightly or wrongly - it's not for me to judge, that if you can't spell then you may not necessarily know what you are talking about.

It's a bit harsh I know, but that's life I'm afraid.
