At present the demand for tutors is at a low. The kids are
having their mid-year exams now... demand would only pick up again
after the exams are over.
And besides, it's pretty difficult for a non-Chinese guy to get
tuition assignments. Most parents strongly favour Chinese females.
No kidding. I've been poring through the tuition assignments posted
on the net, and many of them will ask for things like 'Females
only', 'Chinese-speaking only', or 'Only Graduates/NIE
trainees/current schoolteachers need apply'.
The sad thing is that I actually got THREE separate tuition offers
last month... but I was forced to turn all of them down thanks to
my academic commitments. None of them were willing to wait till
this month for me to start teaching.
