Working exclusively with private students can be difficult; it will take time to build up enough students, and they can also be unreliable, which can make financial planning difficult. For example, I am studying Khmer privately but have just had a two-month break in Japan, so my teacher was left with a dilemma- should she wait for me to come back, or would she take someone esle at those times if they appeared. I would try to get some part-time work elsewhere, if possible and maybe approach the hotels, etc, directly to see about any group work there.

Which exams do people take there? If there is a big demand for exams, then I think offering tuition for them would be essential, as well as conversation. After all, if they need these exams to get jobs, then that would be a core part of your market.
