Well /lang/ I find myself in a curious situation.
I've studied Japanese in college and studied abroad for a semester. I haven't taken the JLPT test yet but one of my Japanese teachers believed I could pass level 3 (of the old tests) I'd say I can handle daily conversation.
A friend of a friend heard that I know Japanese, and has asked if I could tutor her cousin in English. He's living here because he lived near Fukushima. He's 14 and his English is pretty limited. I've never done formal tutoring before so I ask you:
-What sort of ESL books should I get?
-How do I gauge his ability and know where to start?
-How much payment should I ask for?
-Any protips or cheatcodes you know of when it comes to tutoring.
