Work / Teaching English in Lublin. [23]

Thanks for the replies, a lot of really useful information. Do you have any advice in terms of curriculum.

What teaching methods did the students respond to?
Did you use books and guidelines or was it conversational practice?

I was thinking of a more practical approach, having the students do alot of talking and correcting and explaining things along the way. I find that using a language makes it much easier to remember than studying grammar or memorizing vocabulary.

Work / Teaching English in Lublin. [23]

I am a Medical Student in Lublin and I'm interested in finding work as a English teacher. I have experience as a private language tutor and I really enjoy teaching. I've looked into teaching jobs at English schools but they tend to have contracts and strict schedules that might not fit in with school. I would prefer to find work teaching individuals or small groups and I have some questions:

What would be the best way to go about finding clients for private lessons? My social circle consists mostly of students, who generally cant afford private lessons. Where would be a good place to network and advertise for lessons?

What is the going rate for private lessons? I would prefer to teach 1-4 people. I'm just looking to make some extra money for school so I wouldn't charge as much.

Where would be a good location for lessons. I have a large apartment downtown that i share with one roommate. Or would it be better to teach at a public place (library, cafe), or even the clients home.

Thanks for any answers or advice.

And if you live in Lublin, plan on visiting, or have any questions i'd be glad to help.
