I don't know if you have already have but get a script up on your site where people can add their site to yours and you to theirs automatically.I recommend giving away freebies of any kind. Maybe a cool ebook with very useful English phrases. Not so difficult to make. You will create advertising in it and links on every page. Also how about a newsletter. Automatic sign up. Maybe do a demo video lesson so people can view what a lesson looks like.
I see you already have paypal set up which makes it convenient for everyone to pay.
Anyway hope all that helps.

Dear Patsensei,
Many thanks for your reply and advice. The "freebie" and video demo ideas are especially useful. I see I have a lot more work to do to properly advertise my site...!
Thank you again for helping. This is very much appreciated.
Yours,
