1. Always have plenty of resources.
2. Use authentic materials as much as possible.
3. Tape your student when they are giving a presentation and go through the errors from the tape.
4. Be flexible.
5. Always make sure you have a cancellation policy to cover yourself if a student can't make the class.
6. Be very clear on your prices from the beginning as some people can take advantage.
7. Do a thorough needs analysis in the first class.
8. Listen to your student!
9. Making notes in a one to one class can help you prepare and plan for your future lessons.
10. Always expose your students to a variety of accents and dialects. Students can get used to the voice of their teacher too much and can panic when they hear an unknown voice.
