Stingy girl looking to learn Mandarin

Ni hao!
Wo jiao Deena, wo cong Xin Xin Lan lai. And that's about the extent of my Chinese.
I really want to learn Mandarin and I have been learning from a book (Living Language - Ultimate Chinese) but I need someone to practice speaking with, because the pronunciation always gets me. It would be good if I could work through the book with someone, maybe meet up once a week for an hour or two.
In return I can offer you a free coffee, perhaps a muffin if you're doing a good job.... If you're an actual teacher perhaps we can discuss an hourly rate, I'd like to do lessons it's just that I'm just starting a business so basically have no income, hence the stinginess...I hope this will change in the near future ><
I don't know why anyone would want to take time out of their day to teach me Mandarin for free but it's worth a shot asking here....

hi~i can talk with you

I noticed you have asked many people for the same thing, did they not work out? Are you currently teaching other people Mandarin?
I don't mean to be picky but I'm hoping to learn the southern accent as that's where I spend more time in China

Jiutai-
Are you still teaching Mandarin?
I just moved to Singapore from HK and I would like to learn Mandarin since left and right people speak Mandarin here.
I was born and raise in NYC so in return I could exchange English =)
I'm currently not working so I'm quite flexible. Can I join ?
