Choosing your destination
Choosing your destination By Thiago SilvaSo you decided to step out of your comfort zone and explore other cultures while teaching English - now where should you start? While there is no right or wrong answer to this question, there are a few steps you can take to make your search more effective.One of the first things you should do is assess your qualifications. Do you have a university degree? Have you taken a TESL certification course? Have you ever taught English? Maybe you have volunteer experience at a summer camp, for example, and that experience can strengthen your application if you are applying to teach kids. Once you have listed all your qualifications, itâs time to look for positions that match them.âI got in contact with a couple of teachers who'd done the Teach Away program and they gave me some advice on accommodation and cost of livingâ, Tom said.Tom Eminson, a Teach Away teacher in Vietnam, said that his research started after hearing good things about teaching in Vietnam from other tea chers.This exchange of information- and expectations- is the best way to evaluate whether you will like the way of life in a given destination. Take a look at the Teach Away Community page to learn more about your chosen country by chatting with the teachers who are already there.Mackenzie Soper, a Teach Away teacher Abu Dhabi, writes a blog about her experience living and teaching in the Middle East, and is a great resource for teachers who are considering applying for a job in the UAE.Whatever exotic location you choose, the invaluable international teaching experience will not only boost your resumé, but also your personal growth. Pack your bags and embrace the world!Thiago Silva is the Teach Away blogger.
12 Tips to Consider When Getting in Shape
12 Tips to Consider When Getting in Shape //d3p7mn7jyeu9ms.cloudfront.net/cee54ef6b4b2608b58f73e80607f8bf3%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmedia-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2F736x%2Fa8%2F90%2F0f%2Fa8900f125c24283f342d7c1e9d633b50.jpg 2. Change it up: A repetitive workout routine will become tired, leaving you disinterested and bored. So mix it up a little bit: mix and match workout tapes or use Pinterest to create different exercise routines for each workout. The bottom line is to get creative with your workouts. Donât let yourself get bored or quitting will be that much easier. //d2wa2tyobqx1pp.cloudfront.net/c6a20dc4aabfd5c389bf988eee687012%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fthethreadaffect.files.wordpress.com%2Fuloop%2Fw%3D628%26r%3D305%2Fjpg%2F2012%2F02%2Ffebabs.jpg 3. Starving Yourself Isnât a Diet: I know that cleanses are a fad in the workout world at the moment, but starving yourself or drinking your food isnât exactly healthy. The best way to diet: eat healthy. Simple as that. Avoid snack foods and stick to the basic food groups. Donât skip out on proteins and donât be afraid to eat fruits and vegetables. So long as you put the bag of Cheetos down, youâre stepping in the right direction. //d27ql944xr9meu.cloudfront.net/32555029194eeb3572d29e78d3c93055%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.lhsfna.org%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2FLHSFNA%2Fassets%2FImage%2FJuicing45.jpg 4. You Donât Need a Partner to Exercise: Donât wait for that one time your friend is available; make sure your workout is getting done when YOU want it to. If your friend is available and wants to workout with you, great! Itâs always easier to workout when someone else is pushing you, but donât allow friends to dictate your workout schedule. //d1d20t9fkd7io6.cloudfront.net/ef10d8a72e3f5ee9f3ae05f664b0bc56%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmotocrossactionmag.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2FUploads%2FPublic%2FImages%2F5b818a6c39cda4a968d8km80e30350ba370154631ed809d6543fb1c128b17c6c99-1.jpg 5. Music Can Go A Long Way: If youâre a music fan, load your iPod up with your favorite songs and exercise away. Try and stick to songs with quick beats that amp you up; that way, you are enjoying your workout and the fast-paced music is more likely to get you moving. //d27ql944xr9meu.cloudfront.net/a9089ef82bcde9061412c5ac5e32ca5b%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fvalleygirlblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fgirl-with-ipod.jpg 6. Get Outside: Donât force yourself to use the elliptical or treadmill everyday. Find a trail nearby or take a quick jog around your park. A change of scenery is always a good thing, and youâre more likely to run longer when entertained by a new environment. //d2ov68p9vqf0gt.cloudfront.net/f356dbb0cf707cbcf85064d40782ebae%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmoviewriternyu.files.wordpress.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2F2013%2F01%2Frunning-outside.jpg 7. Have a Dynamic Workout: Donât forget that running isnât the only workout. Exercising everything is the best way to get in shape, and just the occasional jog isnât exactly a well-rounded workout. So mix it up while youâre at the gym, and be sure to work more than one muscle group. //d1qpyd3pu6qx6u.cloudfront.net/eccfddb2605605cf91a1074e8a393024%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.gymprofessor.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Ffiles%2F5113%2F4574%2F8778%2Fendurance-gym-workout.jpg 8. Give Yourself a Break: Donât kill yourself trying to workout everyday. Odds are, it isnât going to happen. Set a schedule for yourself of how many days a week youâd (reasonably) like to exercise. Donât forget to give yourself the breaks your body needs to have a successful exercise routine. //d1d20t9fkd7io6.cloudfront.net/4df415a57bde434ee45cfd965ba0185e%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fcommunity.runnersworld.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2FfileSendAction%2FfcType%2F0%2FfcOid%2F72370443375264129%2FfilePointer%2F72229705927922154%2Ffodoid%2F72229705927922150%2FimageType%2FMEDIUM%2FinlineImage%2Ftrue%2Frest%2520day.jpg 9. Donât Get Discouraged: Weâve all stepped on the scale and been disappointed by what weâve seen. Donât let it discourage you. If one week you donât lose weight, it doesnât mean you wonât ever lose weight. Use the scale more as a reference guide than a means of motivation and youâll be less likely to get down on yourself for the less successful weeks. //d15yd2pup8u1d3.cloudfront.net/9afcf8bde6bb21b9371613b349e9e6ff%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.prevention.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fimagecache%2Fssm_600w%2Fstatic%2Fscale-600x450_1.jpg 10. Donât Spend a Fortune, But Donât Be Cheap: Itâd be ridiculous to buy every exercise machine you find, but donât forget that itâs still important to have the right equipment. Sometimes the cheap road isnât the right road. Going to the gym for equipment is probably your safest bet for the best equipment. However, donât count out exercise tapes; for a student on a budget, they may just save your bank account. //d2gk0uetp1q970.cloudfront.net/217f3aeb2b65cecd0eda35a31ef028be%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmac.magicdvdripper.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2Fmagicdvdripperformac%2Fsupport%2Fburn-insanity-workout-dvd-mac.jpg 11. Be Realistic: Set goals that are achievable. Donât tell yourself you will lose all the weight you want to in a week, because you probably wonât. Set realistic goals in increments to make sure that youâre achieving them in a healthy and safe way. //d3p7mn7jyeu9ms.cloudfront.net/b8234f336eee3bfd8fecc1e42ba42383%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.tcpersonaltraining.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F01%2Fttatatshshshkdhkdhkskshksh.jpg 12. Satisfy Your Cravings: This is probably the weirdest piece of advice youâve been given in regards to being healthy, but it is probably the most important. Donât shut down your cravings: Itâll only make them worse later on. So instead, compromise. Have a chocolate bar when you crave it and make up for it in your workout by doing a few extra pushups or running an extra 2 minutes. That way, your craving is satisfied and it hasnât set you back all that much. //dihmh4v20db76.cloudfront.net/33c4ca3b75527b7c50016c6ab9ee12b8%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Ftechglam.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F08%2Ftips-to-control-cravings.jpg

The Spring Guide To De-Stressing
The Spring Guide To De-Stressing Photo courtesy of Pixabay. Cleansing activities abound in our society from juice fasts to sauna sweats, we have our pick on how we chose to rid ourselves of poisons. First, however, Id like to focus on getting rid of the root poison that is preventing us from feeling the lightness that spring has to offer: stress. April is National Stress Awareness Month, which begs us to first become aware of what stress really is, and what areas it should influence (or not influence) in our lives. Acute stress, described as good stress, is stress that keeps us on our toes and makes us strive for more; in other words, its a positive motivator. Chronic stress is the type that lingers in our day-to-day life and has negative effects on our health. According to an article featured in Psychology Today: [Stress] dampens the immune system and dries out the digestive tract, setting the stage for disorders from irritable bowel syndrome to ulcerative colitis. It impairs memory and in extreme cases fuels anxiety. It can even gnaw away at the ends of chromosomes, thereby accelerating cellular aging. In other words, chronic stress can be a serious threat to our well-being, and in our fast-paced world, extremely hard to escape. The following strategies unite the mind and body in combating stress, holding the theory that if the body can suffer due to the effect of stress on the mind, the body and mind must work together in order to relax and revive. De-stressing the Mind Read to Relaxation According to the Telegraph, just six minutes of reading a day can reduce stress levels by more than two-thirds. Psychologists at mind lab International at the University of Sussex believe that the act of reading forces the mind to concentrate on text and comprehension, causing the reader to essentially escape from a stressful mind. Researchers also reported that reading lowered stress even more than common stress-relievers, such as listening to music, going for a walk or settling down with a cup of tea. Call Mom New research featured in Scientific American reports that hearing your mothers voice can initiate the same biochemical responses as receiving a hug from her. These responses included decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increased oxytocinthe feel-good bonding hormonelevels. Usually, oxytocin was thought to come into play only during physical contact; however, Leslie Seltzer, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madisonâs Child Emotion Lab and lead author on the study, said in the article, But itâs clear from these results that a motherâs voice can have the same effect as a hug, even if theyâre not standing there. Laugh This may seem like a no-brainer, but laughing, whether its with a group of friends or over a cat video on Youtube, leads to decreased cortisol levels, endorphin release and a stronger immune system. Accept What You Cannot Control One of the biggest stressors many of us have on a daily basis is the what if? stressor. There is a constant analysis of trivial future events that have no clear answer until its time for them to pass, so why stress about them ahead of time? Our minds become a much freer place when we learn to accept that worrying doesnt change outcomes, it only changes our moods and our health for the worse. One tactic Ive found useful in halting worrying in its tracks is to ask if there is an immediate solution to the problem Im worrying over. For instance, Im worried my paper might be late later in the week seeing as Im so busy. Is there a solution? Yes, I can do the paper right now (even if I have to forfeit a couple hours of sleep) so its out of my mind. Worry ended. Another example: Im worried about not getting the job I applied for last week; I have yet to hear anything and Im dwelling on trivial factors such as, What if I phrased something wrong on my cover letter? and What if I chose the wrong font for the heading? These questions are consuming me at this point, so I stop and ask, Well, what can be done about it? The answer? Nothing. No action can be taken at this point. Therefore, its not only better, but logical, to let it go. De-stressing the Body Garden This might come as a surprise, but gardening has been proven to lower stress levels and aid in relaxation. According to Health.com, In addition to being a source of fresh, healthy produce, gardening can ease stress, keep you limber, and even improve your mood. Luckily, urban gardening is all the rage, so dont worry if you dont have a lot of space. A small balcony, a few pots, soil and seeds are all you need to get started. Sip on Kava-kava and Take Adaptogens Kava-kava is one of the top herbs for relaxation, acting as a muscle relaxer and anti-depressant. It can be taken as a tea or in capsule form, and can deeply relax you, so be sure to take it in the evening to wind down. Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb, is a potent adaptogen, meaning it minimizes the effects of stress on the body and helps it to cope with stressors. According to Natural News, The herb has performed as well as or better than some common anxiety medications in studies. The typical dosage is 300-500 mg once or twice daily, so taking a capsule form may be preferred. Indulge Your Inner Yogi Yoga as a whole is excellent for stress relief and loosening tense areas of the body; however, there are a few poses that specifically target stress. Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge pose), according to the Yoga Journal, Calms the brain and rejuvenates tired legs, and Anjali Mudra (Salutation Seal), Is an excellent way to induce a meditative state of awareness. Both poses, among several others, can be found on their site. Eat Cherries and Celery Celery contains phthalides, phytonutrients that are known to have a sedative effect, while cherries contain anthocyanins, natural pain relievers, and melatonin, the hormone we produce to relax before sleep. De-stressing tactics shouldnt be utilized as just activities to do and be done with, but as lifestyle routines for obtaining a peaceful mind and sound body. Once these two come together free of chronic stress, we can begin to truly see each day as a new start: a perpetual spring.
Pokemon White 2 Move Tutor - How To Use It?
Pokemon White 2 Move Tutor - How To Use It?Pokemon White 2, the sequel to Pokemon White (Gold, Silver, and Crystal), is a game that is so full of exploration and endless possibilities, that there is little room for criticism. The first time you play, you could easily find yourself lost without the Pokemon White 2 Move Tutor. You can get it for free and it's easy to learn how to use it. However, there are some things that people want to know about using the Pokemon move tutor.Before I can tell you about the use of the Move Tutor, I must tell you what exactly a move tutor is. This is an item that allows you to learn the moves that your Pokemon knows by simply touching them. There are two types of Pokemon move tutors. The first type is portable, meaning that it is an item that is attached to your Pokemon in order to give you access to their move list.The second type is the one that is always with your Pokemon at all times. This is a power source that is found on your Pokemon and then it is connected to a port on your Pokemon through the trainer computer. It is constantly powered up by the energy of your Pokemon. As long as the trainer computer has energy left, it will continue to give you the moves that your Pokemon know.If you have the Pokemon move tutor in your Pokemon box, you can teach your Pokemon the moves you want them to know. If you have the Pokemon move tutor power up, you can then teach your Pokemon up to ten moves. Once you have learned the moves, you can then begin the battle.When you use the Pokemon move tutor, you will notice that your Pokemon will instantly begin to learn the move. If you are not familiar with a move, you can simply touch the move that you want your Pokemon to learn and your Pokemon will do it in about ten seconds. You do not need to have any Pokemon experience or even battle experience to use the move tutor.You can only teach up to five moves at a time. The number of moves that you can teach depends on your Pokemon's level. If you do not want to teach more than five moves, you can wait until your Pokemon's levels up. When you level up, your Pokemon will receive five more moves from the move tutor.As long as you keep an eye on your Pokemon's, it will learn the moves that you want. If you decide that you do not want to get the Pokemon move tutor anytime soon, you can also purchase a trainer PC with the ability to send your Pokemon's moves directly from their box to your computer. You can then teach your Pokemon the moves that you want to give them.

What are Rational Numbers Online Tutoring
What are Rational Numbers Online Tutoring Rational numbers are the numbers which are written in the p/q form, where p and q are any integers except q 0. The place where the number is written on the top such as p is known as the numerator and the place where the number is written in the bottom such as q is known as the denominator. Rational numbers are written in this format and they can be added, subtracted multiplied or divided. Rational numbers also represent a part of a whole and also can be reduced to their lowest fraction form. Example 1: Combine the given rational numbers, 2/3 + 4/3. Given rational numbers: 2/3 + 4/3 In order to add or subtract given rational numbers, they should always have a common denominator. In the given question, both 2/3 and 4/3 have common denominator as 3. Hence we can simply add the numbers in the numerator. This gives: 2/3 + 4/3 = (2 + 4)/3 = 6/3 The fraction 6/3 can be reduced further by dividing top and bottom by their common factor 3. Hence 2/3 + 4/3 = 6/3 = 2/1. Example 2: Combine the given rational numbers, 7/6 5/6. Given rational numbers: 7/6 5/6 In order to add or subtract given rational numbers, they should always have a common denominator. In the given question, both 7/6 and 5/6 have common denominator as 6. Hence we can simply subtract the numbers in the numerator. This gives: 7/6 5/6 = (7 - 5)/6 = 2/6. The fraction 2/6 can be reduced further by dividing top and bottom by their common factor 2. Hence 7/6 5/6 = 2/6 = 1/3.
Plasma Membrane
Plasma Membrane Plasma Membrane: Plasma membrane is a dynamic, fluid structure and forms the external boundary of cells. It acts as a selectively permeable membrane and regulates the molecular traffic across the boundary. The plasma membrane exhibits selective permeability; that is, it allows some solutes to cross it more easily than others. Different models were proposed to explain the structure and composition of plasma membrane. In 1972, Jonathan Singer and Garth Nicolson proposed fluid mosaic model, which is now the most accepted model. In this model, membranes are viewed as quasi-fluid structures in which proteins are inserted into lipid bilayers. Glycolipids: Glycolipids contain carbohydrate covalently attached to the lipid. These can derive from either glycerol or sphingosine. The simplest glycolipid, called a cerebroside, contains a single sugar residue, either glucose or galactose. Fluidity of a lipid bilayer: The fluidity of the lipid bilayer, the optimal value of which is a prerequisite for normal cell growth and function, depends on lipid composition and temperature. In general, an increase in the temperature tends to elevate membrane fluidity. Lowering of temperature causes a freely-flowing, low viscous, fluid like membrane structure to a more rigid, gel like organization. Membrane proteins: Many of the proteins associated with membrane can be released from the membrane by relatively gentle extraction procedures, such as exposures to solutions of very high or low ionic strength. These procedures interfere with weak non covalent interactions between protein-protein or protein-membrane lipid, but leave the lipid bilayer intact; these proteins are called peripheral protein (or extrinsic proteins). Proteins that are held in the lipid bilayer very tightly and cannot be released by relatively gentle extraction procedures are called integral proteins (intrinsic proteins). Integral proteins are mostly transmembrane proteins. Transmembrane proteins may be single pass or multipass. Glycophorin is a major single pass transmembrane protein of RBC. Transport proteins Membrane proteins can also be classified on the basis of functions like catalytic proteins, structural proteins, and transport proteins. Transport proteins are responsible for selective transport of molecules, may be carrier or channel proteins. Carrier proteins can be uniporters or co-transporters. Carrier mediated transport may be active or passive. Channel proteins transport solutes down their concentration gradients. It is always passive and transport through channel proteins occurs at a much faster rate. img alt=Prokaryotic plasma membrane data-cke-saved-src=https://images.tutorpace.com/biology/plasma_membrane_5.jpg src=https://images.tutorpace.com/biology/plasma_membrane_5.jpg 614px;= height:= 297px;= Prokaryotic plasma membrane The bacterial plasma membrane is a unit membrane bound composed primarily of proteins and phospholipid. Its structural and chemical features are similar to eukaryotic plasma membrane. One major difference in chemical composition is that eukaryotes have sterols in their membranes. Sterols are absent in plasma membranes of all prokaryotes except for mycoplasma. Functions of Plasma membrane It is selectively permeable, that is, it regulates the entry of certain selective solutes. It separates the cytoplasm and cell organelles from the extra cellular matrix. It aids the attachment of cytoskeleton and cell wall for different organisms. It participates in the process of cellular transport as it possesses extrinsic and intrinsic proteins. Since the membrane is composed of proteins and lipids, the flexibility of membrane is maintained by lipids while proteins regulate the chemical environment of cell. They help in the transport of various import ions or molecules. It acts as a physical barrier.

It is a way to achieve immortality.â - Dalai Lama XIVThere are 280 million native Russian speakers in the world and the Russian language is the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages. Russian is the official language of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Moldova, and is also spoken in Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Armenia, Lithuania, and Azerbaijan.Since the times of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union (USSR), the Russian language and culture emanated from Moscow and influenced politics, business, literature, science, and art. This Slavic language was as important (if not more important) than the European languages that are commonly taught in school.As the Russian language belongs to one of the world's biggest superpowers, Russian language s tudy is becoming more common and an increasing number of students have decided to study it in order to develop language skills to help them in their careers or their personal lives.If the latter sounds like you, you may want to consider teaching language courses and helping people learn more about Russian culture, Russian literature, and Russian as a foreign language.Maybe you don't see yourself as a linguistics professor in a university or heading up a Russian studies or European studies course. Similarly, you mightn't be interested in teaching any kind of language course in a primary school, secondary school, college, or university.Perhaps you'd prefer more freedom in how you help students gain proficiency in an interesting and challenging second language. This is why you may want to consider teaching Russian online or face to face as a private tutor. That said, if you decide to make language learning your vocation, you'll need to make sure that you earn enough money to make ends meet and live comfortably. In this case, you'll need students. You'll struggle to pay the bills if there's only one language learner interested in having a Russian conversation with you.In this article, weâre going to look at the best ways to find your first students and join the many others working comfortably as private tutors.There are over 5 million private tutors on Superprof who share their passion for teaching languages and other subjects.So how do you ensure that students both in the UK and abroad find your Russian courses and tutorials?Here's how to find students when you start tutoring Russian.

You might just find someone whoâs wanting to start speaking Russian or who are studying it and needs some help.If thereâs nobody in your family who want to take Russian lessons, there might be somebody that they know whoâs interested.After y ouâve spoken to your family and mentioned that youâre looking for students for your Russian tutorials, speak to your friends about teaching Russian grammar, the Cyrillic alphabet, or preparing students for travelling to Russian.This is when youâll start looking for work. At first, youâll feel like youâre going round in circles but the more you speak to those around you, the more likely you are to find someone whoâs interested in learning Russian.Check here if you want to learn Russian London.Social NetworksDonât hesitate to let word of mouth find students for your Russian tutorials.In addition to posting on your profile about the fact that youâre now a private Russian tutor, you should also use Facebook groups. Make sure you join and follow groups as there may be people looking for private tutors.Offer your services and respond to messages from those wanting to learn more about the Russian language and culture.Your StudentsIf youâve already taught a few tutorials, your current students are the best people to help you find more students.The most difficult thing to do is to find your very first student. Get a testimony from them, get them to talk about how much theyâve learnt, how theyâve improved, and how well they can now speak Russian.You can always use their exam results to show how well theyâve improved (with their permission, of course). Improved exam results are a great way to show off your skills as a tutor.Make sure you carefully plan your tutorials.Teaching Russian: Campaigning in Your Local AreaWhether you live in a big city or in the country, there should be a city centre, high street, or area where people congregate near you. Spread the word!You might have to campaign to get students. (Source: skeeze)Your NeighboursYou can get in touch with your neighbours in two ways: either by posting letters and flying or talking to them.It might be awkward introducing yourself to your neighbours just to tell them that youâre offering private Russian tutorials. You could also talk to them about organising a get-together after your lessons.Your neighbours are a good place to start when expanding your network. Each person you talk to can speak to other people and tell them about your lessons.Itâs less awkward to put a small flyer through their door and tell them about the lessons youâre offering. Make sure itâs original and concise:The type of lesson: intensive lessons, evening classes, summer tutorials, group tutorials, private tutorials, etc.The level you teach: primary school, secondary school, college, university, exam prep, adult classes, etc.Your experience and qualifications.Your teaching methods and pedagogy. You can also put a photo and some contact details so that they know where to find you.BusinessesEven if Russian isnât your mother tongue, you can always offer Russian tutorials to groups and individual students.Your students might be nearer than you think. (Source: EliFrancis)Head around to l ocal businesses, ask them if you can put up a flyer, and mention that youâre teaching Russian. This is a good way to grow your network.Head to your local bakery, butcher, chemist, etc. Again, make sure that your flyer is concise, even more so than the one you put through your neighboursâ letterboxes. Try to fit all the information onto an A4 sheet of paper. Small businesses wonât have a lot of space to put up huge posters.Mention the type of classes and the levels you teach. Summarise yourself in a few words: âMasterâs student teaching Russian to primary and secondary school pupilsâ.Write your phone number on detachable slips that interested parties can take away with them. This is going to act of your âbusiness cardâ for those whoâd like to learn Russian.If you want to be a successful tutor, think carefully about the rates you charge!Tutoring Russian: Go Where Your Students GoThose who want to learn Russian mightnât go to the same places as you. To find potentia l students, you need to advertise your tutorials where your potential students will see them:LibrariesPrimary SchoolsSecondary SchoolsCollegesBusiness SchoolsUniversitiesLanguage schools and Russian associationsCinemas, gyms, dance schools, music schools, etc.There are plenty of places where you can find people who want to speak Russian better. You could even help students plan trips to Russia to help them learn even more quickly.To avoid underhanded practices, always ask before you put up posters, especially in places like language schools. It would be rather cheeky to do so in a school that already offers Russian lessons...Find Russian Students OnlineThe internet is a great place to find students whoâd like to learn more about the Russian language.You could always just sit back and let word of mouth do its thing in your local neighbourhood. Or you could go a step further and start advertising your private tutorials online.Social networks might be your best friend when it comes to finding students. (Source: LoboStudioHamburg)There are plenty of tutoring platforms helping students and tutors find one another. Consider looking at sites such as craigslist, for example. Think about advertising your services on websites hosting classifieds.While your local bakery will help you find students who live near you, the internet can help you find students from all over the UK and the world.Superprof can help you find both online students and face-to-face students. Our platform is free for the tutors. However, tutors can always pay to boost the viability of their profile, appear at the top of search results, and increase their chances of finding students.The tutor can choose their own rates and whether or not they want to offer the first hour of tutoring for free. Your Superprof profile can be more detailed than the flyers you put up in the butchers and through your neighboursâ letterboxes.You need to mention your methodology, experience, qualifications, rates, an d basically your CV. Your students can leave testimonials, feedback, and comments to help improve your profile. There are plenty of different tutorials available including maths, French, physics, Spanish, chemistry, etc.You can search by subject and by area, making it easier for students to find tutors where they live.Make sure you do everything you can to get the most out of your tutoring businesses. Keep in mind that finding students is all well and good, but if you want to have a successful tutoring business, you need to keep students coming back for more lessons.The first way to do this is by offering quality private tutorials. The main reasons that people opt for private tutorials are that they want personalised lessons. From the first time you meet a new student, make sure you sit down with them, ask them why they want to learn Russian, and put together a plan of what they'll need to learn:Russian words and phrases (nouns, adjectives, personal pronouns, verbs, adverbs, etc.)R ussian language lessons for business (with specialised Russian vocabulary)The Russian alphabet (Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet rather than the Latin alphabet)Students want to know that their Russian classes are just for them and that every minute spent studying isn't a minute wasted. Offer students quality tuition and they'll keep coming back to you!
