Who am I?
For nearly 25 years, I've been teaching FSL (French as a Second Language). My journey has evolved from entirely in-person to 100% online, allowing me today to have students from all corners of the world. This activity has become my main source of income, with rates that allow me to live comfortably.
Currently, I give between 4 and 5 online lessons per day and finish at 4 PM so I can pick up my daughter from school.
Over the years, I've noticed that for many of my colleagues, finding students remains the biggest challenge. However, personally, I've never had difficulties attracting clients. It's this observation that has pushed me to share my insights, my experience, as well as those of my colleagues and clients from espaceproffle.com.
A few weeks ago, I started writing what was supposed to be a simple blog post. But after writing 10 A4 pages, I realized that the format wasn't suitable, so I decided to divide it into 5 episodes.
Each Thursday, a new episode will be published. If this topic interests you, I invite you to subscribe so you don't miss any of this series that could transform your approach to teaching.
