Spanish Tutor?

I am going to be in Cartagena in early April and would like a private spanish instructor for one week, 4 hours a day in the morning. Does anyone know someone who is qualified? I do not want to go to the normal school. I speak pretty good spanish and only want a one on one conversation class. If anyone knows someone, it would be appreciated.

thank you

how much?? are you willing to pay??
the oldgringo knows berlitz qualified teachers there,
but the price is expensive for the type of attention you want.
he also knows a teacher who is not certified, and less expensive.
what do you have in mind for $$$

pay HI Old Gringo. AS far as money, I would want to pay around $15 to $20 an hour. What is the going rate?

thanks

as you will learn... the going rate is always changing with the winds,
however, i think one of my friends could, and would,
assist you quite satisfactorily, at the $20.
if your visit coincides with semana santa, the timing
would have to be arranged very carefully, and secured in advance.
if you wish to pursue arrangements,it will be possible for you
to have contact directly with the teacher....let me know.
