Teenage Tutor and babysitter

Hi,
I was just wondering if any of you would be willing to hire a teenager for weekend tutoring and babysitting for 5-11 year olds in London.

I am predicted 10 A*s at GCSEs and successfully tutored a my mums friends son from a stage where he was behind in his class and barely able to read to wanting to buy books all the time. I really wanted to continue with this but unfortunately they moved away. This summer I also taught beginners piano to some children on my road.

I would love to teach KS1 english and maths or trial lessons in piano before parents commit to buying the instrument. Parents have always said that students learn better with me as I'm not the typical 'scary, mean lady who brings the work' but more of a peer. I can even get references and have a St. Johns Ambulance first aid certification.

Would parents in London be willing to pay £6 - £7.50 for this in London? Or an I being to optimistic Smile.

I would even do a free lesson where the parents could watch my teaching methods.

Even though I am young, I have grown up with tutors, au pairs and nannies and I understand what works, what doesn't and what young people really respond to.
