Also, is anyone teaching Polish students on a private basis? I would love to ask your advice about what to charge and how to go about getting students (local college courses are free but the demand is far outstripping the no. of places).
Thanks ..... great site by the way!!  |
Sally- I found when advertising in the UK that the good old newsagent shop window was very effective- it is cheap and you can select the area where it is most likely to be of use- i.e. an area where most of the foreign population lives. You must make the 'Ad' colourful and ensure that it stands out though- and try and 'negotiate' a good position on the board by offering to run it for several weeks! Good Luck!
