I am an American living in Mexico and teaching English to Mexicans in my pueblo. My charge is very low. I stated out with 11 students and little by little they started not coming to class. I teach 3 days a week with 3 hour sessions. The students have been learning very well and seem to really enjoy the class. We play games, have videos, sing songs, as well as learning basic English and conversation. My students range in age from 11 to 18. But, every now and then, someone will just quit coming. I am down down to 3 students. I have been doing this since September 21. My students are learning very rapidly and I feel I am successful. But, can't understand why they don't stick with it. I have talked to other American English teachers here and they had the same experience. Does anyone know from experience or otherwise what the problem is? I charge only 100 pesos ($10.00) per week per person, so my fee is very reasonable. If anyone has any suggestions, I welcome them. I am about to give up.
