Who ever told you teachers earn 3,ooo yuan a month is just pulling your leg. I was told this same story by teachers only to see them drive on campus the next day in new cars. Granted novice teachers might earn this, but older ones like myself do not. Chinese teachers get a pension, testing bonuses, teachers day money, and some even get a housing stipend. Many also teach students at home for 100 yuan each per class.

Well said. But that home teaching figure try around 200-250. Personally, I would only tutor for 200 rmb per hour as that is how much I am confident of being worth. If they don't want to pay, then bye!
