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.

To be honest, this was just supposed to be research so that I could begin to understand parents attitudes towards this. It was not intentionally supposed to be an advertisement, it would only be an added bonus if someone in London said they were interested.

Thank you Ehhn, that was very inspirational. I will keep all those tips in mind and don't worry, I wouldn't dream of tutoring 11+ or anything above.
