If you’re looking for some new students, or indeed to earn a better wage,  just have a look at this comment Lana just sent in:

Richard,
You write a lot of interesting and useful posts. But THIS post changed my outlook and working life completely.

I needed to read it and thank God I did. I live in a tiny mountain village with only one junior high in 40 miles. I started by scrabbling around for a few 1:1 students. Then I found some confidence through your posts and said to one of the parents of my 1:1 students who had stopped coming, ‘hey look, I’m starting a conversation group with min/max 6/7 students for second year junior high students. If Terry would be interested, pass the message on and we can arrange something’.

That message got out on a parents WhatsApp school group and I was INUNDATED. I now run a couple of evening classes with six per class. They are super happy, I am loads more creative and structured, and earn a regular decent wage (also work daytime in a college). I repeat the same material twice as they are all the same level. And in the spare time I have gained I volunteer to teach English at the local nursery which my daughter attends.

Thank you!!

And the post that changed things for Lana?  It was this one.  Enjoy 🙂
