is $150/mth ( 45mins each lesson) steep for beginner? another tutor quoted me $120, but she is grade 8 holder. Not diploma.

is it necessary to pay $30 more for diploma holder or grade 8 will do for teaching beginner?

I guess it's like asking: would you rather pay $120 for an O'levels graduate or $150 for an A'levels graduate to give your P1 kid tution.

Actually it’s always the best to get teachers, be it music or academic through other parents introduction. Some teachers(minority) are very very qualified but can’t really teach/irresponsible. There are also teachers who are not as qualified but have the passion and able to teach as good.

Recently I just accept a student who is going to grade 7 exam in end July because the teacher is so irresponsible, going overseas without informing and didn’t even inform the parents when she is back, instead blaming them that they should call the teacher and check. To be honest the boy isn’t very ready at all!
Not to bad mouth, but how can anyone, not saying teachers, do that? Teaching them is like teaching your own children.

i am paying $80 for 30mins session for 4 sessions Grade 1 (prep) at Cristofori. that is about $120 for 45min session if pro-rated. so i guess $160 for private piano is about right considering u have to pay for the teacher's transport ($10per trip??)? unless cristofori is overcharing me
just my guess.
hope to gather some views too.
