I teach English. People ask me about the fees, the tuition, the cost, the money. I say $100 USD per hour (not per month) per student
Jo Arnold: Ja English: TP.HCM. If you are reading this, you might be misreading it. Most people misread what I write. People misinterpret what I write. Even native English speakers misunderstand me. People jump to conclusions and to deductions and assumptions and associations and implications and they read between the lines and read into things some things that are not really there.
.
What I wrote here is an example of how easy it is for people to misunderstand things in English. I did not say that I charge $100 per hour. I wrote that "I say $100." Now, that is not a requirement and it is not an exact demand. Well, it can be a demand, but people can barter to bring down the price and I also teach for free. People who know me knows that I negotiate prices with people.
.
People are prone to fighting and to misunderstandings like this one. This is a perfect example of how people are pretty arrogant, ignorant, blind, and too quick to assume, imply, judge, and to jump to conclusions and logic without sufficient evidence and data that can help them understand what is really going on.
.
I did not say that I get $100. That would be different. I did not say that I will not teach for less than $100. You need to know that I do not get $100. Sometimes, I might get $5 per hour if I am lucky. However, education is still priceless and some teacher are paid as high as $30 per hour or more.
.
What I wrote was in order to persuade people towards my value. However, ti did not really work. instead, people decided to beat me up and to tell me that I have no value and that I am a horrible person. If I say that I teach for free, then I get in trouble. When I say that I teach for a very high price, then people hate me for that as well. I pretty much get attacked from both extremes from different people no matter what I do.
.
People need to think about what teachers and tutors do in real life instead of only thinking about what they think I said. I did not say that people have to give me a certain amount. I used the word "Say" which is very casual and very general it can be flexible in the meanings that you give to that word "Say." You need to see that "Say" is not in the past tense of "Said" for a reason. That reason is to invoke an idea that is ongoing and in a world of like utopia or something like that
.
However, people are still misunderstanding me for different reasons and to different extremes, mostly due to their inability to understand English enough: they do not see what I am writing here
-
- Joey Arnold Ali Al-khateeb, yes, you did because of what you are saying right now: what you are saying is the evidence I hold that proves that you do not know who I am and what I do in real life: you skipped over some key words that i wrote in the OP
- Tiểu Màn Thầu I don't hate any one, do you misunderstand? I just want you know i learned language by many ways, but not from you. So you shouldn't ask me why i'm here. Coz i am a fber, so you are my fb friend. Ok?
- Ali Al-khateeb Don't be angry lol...
It's just opinion!! 
- Le Hoang Thanh about 1500$/month. with that money, we can learn about 3 months in some famous institute such as : ila,vus. now you are in vietnam, not in us or canada. so you dont hope to get high money from teaching english here
- Tiểu Màn Thầu If i hate Americans or English teacher, i don't have any reason to learn their language. And i don't want to say any thing, too. Coz you don't understand what i say.
- Joey Arnold Le Hoang Thanh, do not tell me what I can or cannot do. If you do not like me, then please leave. I said a number. That is the number that I said. I do not like what you are saying.
- Joey Arnold Ali Al-khateeb, I did not say the word "Opinion." You do not understand enough English to understand what an OP is. Do you know what an OP is? if you do not understand what an OP is then you do not understand what I am saying or even half of what I want you to understand now. I said OP and you are skipping over it. You are like pretending to understand and you are throwing in words and you do not even live in Vietnam.
- Joey Arnold Tiểu Màn Thầu, I came to Vietnam in the year 2012. I have been in Vietnam for some years now. I was born in America, the USA, in 1985. I am 30 years old. I have been a teacher since 2005. I am American. I am an American citizen. I am from America. I have been in America for over two years teaching english at different places. I have years of teaching experience. I know what I am doing and I know who I am. I know what I can do. I will continue to do what I do in the ways that I do them
- Tiểu Màn Thầu Ok, good luck 2 u. I'm a teacher, too.
- Joey Arnold Tiểu Màn Thầu, please do not say good luck
- Le Hoang Thanh ok,let take the last example. 100$ can help a student live in one month. include food,living... and one month living= one hour you teach english
- Joey Arnold Le Hoang Thanh, you need to think about what I do in Vietnam. Do you know what I do in Vietnam? Do you know how long I have lived in Vietnam? It seems that you are overlooking what I do and how I do them.
- Anh Vân Đặng · Friends with Cuong Nguyen Cat
- Le Hoang Thanh so can you speak Vietnamese?
- Joey Arnold Lê Na, you misunderstand
- Joey Arnold Le Hoang Thanh, toi khong biet tieng viet
- Sarah Trần · Friends with Mohamed RabieaWhat? $100/h lol. Maybe i ask some my foreign friends teach me better
- Brian Ani Akan it is not about how long you have lived in Vietnam . i want to ask you a question What kind of person do you want to teach ?
- Thiên Minh · Friends with Thanh Xuan Tran and 1 otherCAPTION HERE: STOP FIGHTING, DISMISSSSSSSSSSS
- Joey Arnold Lê Na, I came to Vietnam in 2012. I have been in Vietnam for 3 years. I help people. I might stay in Vietnam forever
- Joey Arnold Brian Ani Akan, what do you think I do in Vietnam right now? Why are you asking in the future tense?
- Joey Arnold Sarah Trần, why are you complaining? What you are saying is a lie and that is too bad: I know that you are lying and that is too bad: you are trying to manipulate
- Joey Arnold Thiên Minh, read the OP again
Joey Arnold Lan Vương, read the OP
