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.
