In India, there are no laws against offering private tuition while employed as a teacher and many supplement their incomes by offering in-home tutoring and teaching online. However, it is essential to check the policy of your individual school or teaching agency as some establishments place limits on teachers ability to tutor children from their own class or school. You may want to limit your teaching to students outside your class or school even if not directed to do so, to avoid any conflicts of interest such as perceived favouritism that might arise. As a home teacher, you may enjoy the freedom to develop your own style and curriculum not permitted within the education system. You could even teach a subject that you are higher skilled in yet not permitted to teach within schools. For example, a mathematics teacher is fully authorized to tutor a course of physics.

For example, a professional pianist is obviously qualified to give piano classes but teaching involves much more than certification. It requires passion; love for your craft, enthusiasm and the ability to foster these attributes in your students. A piano teacher does not necessarily have to be a concert pianist, but they must have good ideas on how to become one and how to master the instrument and the music. If you are giving English classes, you need to have mastered the language yourself, be fluent or bilingual and able to explain concepts in writing, grammar and accent reduction. You may also be required to teach your students the basics of culture and history of the countries where the language is spoken.

How do I create my own teacher advert? Creating your teacher ad could not be simpler. Just follow the step-by-step instructions on Superprof and fill out each section. Here are a few helpful tips to help make it as visible as possible to potential students, allowing them to find you: Highlight your strengths (your skills, your experience, ...) Ask yourself why a potential client may choose you over another peer teacher. Explain what differentiates you and makes your private classes exceptional. Explain your learning style and teaching methodology. Tell your story Teaching is not just about passing on your knowledge; it is also about building a bond of trust with your students. Showing your human side is very important. Showing that you are an interesting and thoughtful person, willing and capable of listening to others. Mention your hobbies, groups you are part of, your travels, your past work experience and successes in life. Focus on the benefits: what are you providing to your future students? Try to avoid technical terms difficult to comprehend. Also avoid bland or cliché phrases that do not detail what you will provide. For example, do not just say “I teach maths at all levels and for all abilities", mention the exact levels at which you teach (Primary-level, GMAT, college etc.) as well as the exact topics (algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, etc.). Include a picture that makes you look professional Clear frontal photos of your face are an important way for students and teachers to learn about each other. You will increase the number of contacts you make 10 fold by adding a high quality, profile picture of yourself. Review your ad An advertisement full of mistakes will not be taken seriously. Re-read your ad with a text editor and make a final review before publishing. Why should I offer my first class for free? If you do not have a review from a student already, Superprof requires you to offer your first session for free, however, this does not have to be a formal class. The first meeting is usually reserved for getting to know each other, understanding the aims and objectives of the student and agreeing on a teaching plan that works for everyone. The first meeting can take the form most convenient to both parties. Even if you do have a review, Superprof recommends that you offer the first class for free because: It allows you to make a connection with the student The purpose of the first meeting is not to give a class to your student, but to get to know and understand what his/her needs are, set up a lesson plan and a teaching method that will allow your student to reach his/her goals. It is a small investment for a greater reward Offering one hour of your time for free to a student who may use your services all year and spread the word about your services is an excellent investment. It reassures students Students will contact you more frequently and it is more engaging for them. Why be responsive to lesson requests? If your teaching listing interests a potential student, Superprof will automatically send you an email/SMS to let you know that a student wants to take a class with you. Be reactive! Some students contact several teachers at once to be sure to find a perfect fit. The longer you wait to answer them, the more likely it is that the student will find another teacher in the meantime. The more responsive you are, the more Superprof will improve the visibility of your ad (reactivity is part of Superprof's selection criteria). A specific approach to teaching The most important aspect of your class is to restore the student’s self-esteem and build his/her confidence. Whatever you teach, French, English reading, computer science, biochemistry, econometrics or piano, it is important to be enthusiastic and encouraging. In a student-teacher relationship, it is essential to implement a "2-way street" where students feel comfortable to ask questions and challenge themselves. There is no magic recipe to teaching. Each teacher has his or her own exercises, syllabus and tips to help the student succeed. Each teacher must put in the time to create an individualized, structured and personalized program for each tutee. Through this approach, the student can acquire new, and reinforce old, methodological skills.
