I recently started working teaching, related to languages. I learned a foreign language that isn't very popular and a lot of English native speakers can't speak, and there happen to be a lot of the native speakers of said language in my city, so without intention a job dropped in my lap. I've been teaching and making $20/hr, which obviously isn't great but it's fine for me considering I hadn't even worked before. I interviewed with a man who runs a translation academy and he's taken me on (sort of) as a teacher, but we're still in the preparation stage. He, however, is only paying me $18/hr for this, since I'm technically not certified to teach to foreign students. He mentioned there was a class I could take and a certification I could get which would compel him to pay me more.
Right now I'm working about 6 hours monday, 4 tuesday, 5 wednesday, and 4 thursday, with friday off. I'm also a university student so I can't, or at least don't wan to, work full time. He asked me if I can also teach 5 hours on Friday to a new student regularly. I said that I could, but now thinking more about it I'm not sure if I want to take this on considering I've already dropped a lot of focus on my schoolwork when the wage here isn't even that high. What I want is a raise but I can't ask for one yet since it hasn't even been long since I've started this job. But to be honest it will be very very difficult to find someone else skilled enough to translate or teach translation in this language who also gives the "certification" of being a white native speaker of English.
