An opportunity to teach my language?
I have lived in Manchester for one month, and I am hoping to find employment teaching Arabic or French as a personal tutor. I was a primary teacher in my native country, so already have experience. Can anyone give advice on how to become a personal tutor?
Thank you.
Serge.

The website is:
www.gumtree.com.
Also, simply putting adverts up in newsagent windows or dropping fliers in people's letterboxes can help if you sell yourself well and truthfully. Manchester has lots of students so try and identify the student areas and target them.
Alternatively, you could register with this tutoring agency which covers Manchester:

Good luck
