I see lots is people who are offering to teach others for money. lots of people go for paid sessions rather than free because by nature we expect paid sessions will be more effective and professional.
As a native Arabic speaker I see lots of offerings to teach Arabic, but most of them are not even qualified, being a native speaker doesn't make you qualified to teach the language. A native speaker can help teaching the basics maybe intermediate level but for advance level you need an expert.
As an example, Arabic grammar is very advanced level even many native Arabic speakers don't know it well, when trying to explain them to non Arabic speakers you need to simplify this as much as possible so others can get your point, you must use the proper terminologies in order to explain such a thing and the most important thing you need is communication skills,
I saw some offerings where the tutor is not able to write a correct simple sentence in English! How is he/she supposed to help others? You don't have the knowledge and you shouldn't charge people for teaching them wrong.
In my opinion if i am a native english speaker and i am trying to learn arabic and the tutor cannot speak english fluent enough for me to understand what he is saying I won't trust him at all.
The bottom line is: charging people for teaching them is a big responsibility and before giving away our money we must make sure that the tutor is according to our expectations
