Yes, student needs to pay
If I have to/need to go to the student's home, I would like to request the student(s) to pay for transportation expense, and if the lesson is done at my home, the transportation costs have to be paid by the student(s).
I consider myself that I am very friendly and responsible Japanese currently living close to Tokyo. Since I would like to teach Japanese language to whoever willing to study, I am willing to offer Japanese lesson to whoever want to study Japanese. Although I do not have any working experience as a Japanese tutor before, but I have taught to many overseas foreigners even for now. In fact, I am teaching to one Hong Kong guy and I am teaching him by using English, but he says he is fully understanding my lesson and satisfied with my lesson so far. Since I can also speak fluent English, so in case we faced some problems during the lesson, I am pretty sure I can explain the details in English, too until you understand 100%!!
