104. Teaching English for yourself to reach your dream salary - the numbers

from The Free Talk Staffroom · host Patrick Sherriff

I was chatting to a fellow self-employed English teacher in Japan who said school ALTs often don’t realise how few students they would need to make a good living doing their own thing. So, I thought I’d spell it out in this video. For a more thorough explanation, I recommend The Tower English Way, How to start and run your own little English school in Japan, available here: https://freetalktefl.substack.com/p/the-tower-english-way-how-to-start The painting at the beginning of the video, Can’t Buy Me Love, is one of mine, details here: https://artbypatricksherriff.substack.com/p/cant-buy-me-love This is a public episode.
