Where to find students to be a Russian teacher?

To offer language courses, Skype classes or adult classes, the first thing you need is Russian learners !

Becoming a freelance teacher is also learning to anticipate, to communicate, to manage your reputation, in short, to establish a good network of contacts.

To develop your network and find students quickly, it is not necessary to have a business school.

The network is all around you. Start with your family and friends. If you decide to start working as a Russian teacher , talk about it. Although it may not interest anyone in your family, in the future you can talk to others.

Word of mouth works quite well and could allow you to meet your first students.

Talk about it on your social networks and look for services similar to those you offer in your Facebook groups in your city to keep up with the ads and offer your own services.

Of course, if you already have one or more students, ask them to talk about you at school or in their extracurricular classes.

There is also your neighborhood or town. Work is a topic of debate that often comes up a lot in any conversation between neighbors or parents of students after class.

Feel free to talk about your work and sell yourself . The more people know about your work, the more likely you are to find students interested in learning Russian.

Also, visit the nearest shops and place an advertisement in the bakery, the tobacconist or in the grocery store.

Another technique to find students is by placing advertisements in places they usually attend, such as libraries, universities, colleges, elementary schools, as well as places of entertainment such as the cinema, the music school, the equestrian club …

You can also approach the language school or an association in your neighborhood and ask them to publish your ad if this school does not teach Russian.
