 <\/p>\n

Over the past several decades, the supply of English teaching professionals in Israel has not only caught up with, but has exceeded the demand.  This has resulted in a flood of mostly unemployed English teachers, trying to find jobs in an already over-crowded English tutoring market.  The latter is now strictly a buyer’s market, with no end in sight!         <\/p>\n

The underlying causation factors can be summarized as follows: the large number of local teacher training colleges\/universities with English departments, pumping  out hundreds of English major & teacher graduates annually; the same institutions offering  one-year English tutor certification programs, designed for older professionals seeking career changes; the steady influx of “Anglos” toting B.A. and M.A. degrees in English education, exacerbated by the sharp downturn in the global economy;  and even the number of presently employed English school teachers seeking additional income, via the tutoring route. Tutors can help for learning Japanese<\/a>.        <\/p>\n

 Consequently, if you want to stay “a cut above the competition”, here are some   points to remember:  <\/p>\n

1.\t<\/span>Hebrew Language Proficiency – the lower the age of your student target group, the higher the Ivrit level you’ll need.      <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\t<\/span>Educational Qualifications – relying on only a B.A. in English education isn’t realistically competitive.  You’re either going to have to beef up your education level to an M.A. and\/or obtain instructor certification in perhaps one or more of these specialties – ELS, TOFEL, or SEN .  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\t<\/span>Marketing Strategies – maintain updated CVs, personal references, & business cards. For starters, volunteer your services at local community centers and schools.   Post tutoring flyers on neighborhood bulletin boards, and keep checking the JOBSHUK, JANGLO, ETNI, & similar websites for job opportunities.  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.\t<\/span>Knowledge of Local Pay Rates – don’t be caught off guard.  Know in advance what the remuneration standards are in your catchment areas for groups & individuals.  In this regard, be flexible & sharpen your negotiating skills.  You’re going to need them! <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.\t<\/span>Technical Expertise\/Skills – bonding effectively with younger clients is critical.  This is especially true if their parents are “arm twisting them” into being tutored.  Strengthen your bonding expertise by studying & practicing psychological techniques.  NLP is a good example.         <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.\t<\/span>Psychometric Readiness  – develop & maintain your own system of written tests.  It’s not uncommon to get insufficient client feedback from apathetic classroom teachers.      <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.\t<\/span>Reference Materials –   invest in and build up your own personal library.  There’s tons of free material on the “net” you can download & file away.  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.\t<\/span>Office Technology – in addition to a PC, owning your own copying & fax machines save time, money, & also increases work efficiency.   <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9.\t<\/span>Work Environment – minimize noise & window space.  Loud colored walls & pictures can also cause distractions.  Position wall clocks behind the student.      <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10.\t<\/span> Creative Entrepreneurship – think of starting your own English tutoring business, wider in scope, with one or more partners’ (each having own specialty & separate network of contacts).  Check out the potential revenues, & don’t forget to have invoices printed.     <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With that said, focus your attention on yourself rather than on the competition.  Don’t be discouraged, and don’t give up.  Always maintain a positive attitude.  If tutoring English is really your passion- GO FOR IT!<\/p>\n
