I'm new in town.
How does one go about finding private students? What's the market like?
Cheers.

You teach English classes for $6 an hour for a couple of years and hope you get lucky.Inamorato wrote:I'm new in town.

I put an ad on Facebook and put up some flyers. The only responses were from people who thought I was hiring teachers. I talked to another guy who did the same thing and passed out business cards. He got two students.

there have been recent threads on this. I'm surprised gavinmac didn't point this out. I'll try to find one to link to.

In other countries, I used Craigslist, and that was quite successful.
As far as this country goes, I only know this website.
Are there any other useful sites for teaching in Cambodia?

Private students/ business gigs generally develop from happy students in schools/language schools/universities
So yes, it may take years
Or you could just register with one of the agencies specialising in these classes. You will get between $10-12 at first.
If you can teach maths/science/physics/ history/geography/economics, you may get $15/hr to start
Research the IGCSE curricula on these subjects.
When you feel you have built up a base, leave the agency and go private.
Way more interesting than large classes of General English students, imo.

I often wonder who taught some of these ochnea dudes.
Some of them have nearly no formal education at all but speak English not only pretty well but with grammar. They use the past tense, things like that.
Are they just plain smart and that's why they have risen from nothing to something or did some trembling teacher in his white nylon shirt bicycle up and teach them a few times a week? I know I feel pretty cowed perched on the edge of their Louis XIV sofas.

You could try UK tutoring services, a lot of guys on here are sceptical to them but while they may be correct in thier own experience, they were good to me. ( a good while ago now however, before teaching fulltime.)
