2. Where do you get your first students from?
from The Free Talk Staffroom · host Patrick Sherriff
Which of these methods do you think will generate the most new students: The internet? Walking the streets? Starting a playgroup? Talking to neighbours? Advertising in the newspaper? Putting up posters? Or having a swanky logo? I outline the top five methods that worked for me and that will work for you in this week’s Staffroom podcast (given in REVERSE order of what works, so you have to listen all the way to the end to get the best one. Crafty, huh?)Stuck for something to teach?Go to the Free Talk TEFL website here and click on any of the levels across the top of the page (Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High, High School, Adult) and you’ll be able to see all the lesson plans posted. I keep posting one new free lesson every Monday and four new ones for paying subscribers, so over time the archive will grow and you’ll always have a good lesson to rattle off when you need it.
