Introduction

I wrote this book for people who want to succeed at teaching international people conversation skills in a tutoring situation.

I have tutored international people for over twenty-five years. During this time, I lived in various cities in the U.S. and in Japan. I even married one of my former Japanese students; and we moved to Japan in 1995 where we lived for six years.

In my career as an English Instructor I have taught hundreds of students from all over the world to speak English. I have taught in classrooms and tutored students individually. I have also taught in small groups of four to six students. I have a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics (TESL), Teaching English as a Second Language. I taught English at the university level from 1982 until recently when I left teaching to focus on my writing. I taught at University of California at Berkeley, UC Davis, the University of Pittsburgh and several national universities in Japan, Saitama University and Gunma University. I have also tutored privately for as many years as I taught at the university level.

There are many kinds of ESL students. Here are some typical profiles:

Michael

Michael is a Korean high school student. (Michael is not his Korean name. He changed it when he moved here from Korea.) He has been living here with his mother for three years. He can speak English but not at a level he is comfortable with. He wants to know English slang. He wants to interact with other American students his own age. He wants to improve his grades. He knows that as he learns more words, he can do better in school. His mother wants him to go to an American university. He needs a tutor so he can get into a university.

Jose

Jose is a strawberry picker in a Northern California town. He has three children who are not in school. They help him pick strawberries. His wife sells berries at a road side stand. He is very poor since his father snuck into the U.S. illegally; and he never had the chance to get an education. He wants to improve his English so he can get a better job. He wants his children to go to school and have a better life. He needs to learn English so he can get a higher paying job. He wants a job driving truck. He cannot read and cannot fill out a job application.

Mariko

Mariko is from Japan. She just moved here from Tokyo. She is 24 years old and attends the University of Hawaii. She is very smart and knows English grammar well. Her speaking is very poor. Nobody seems to understand her in her university classes. Her homework is excellent and her papers are written very well. However, she cannot participate in class so her grades are getting lower. She is worried. She needs to improve her English conversation ability.

Making Money Tutoring: Define Your Goals

Is this your first time tutoring? If this is your first tutoring business venture, then you need to read this chapter. Because in order to succeed, you need to have a plan; and before you make a plan you must define your goals.

By understanding the information in this book and taking action, you can achieve success.

But first you must do one thing: clarify or define your goals. After you define your goals, you can make a plan.

Define Your Goals.

Success can be defined as achieving your goals. In order to measure success, you must have clear and precise goals.

So my question to you is:

What are your goals?

Do you want to:

* Spend more time with your family?

* Make an extra $200 to $600 per week?

* Experience what it's like to make money and help international people?

* Help students feel good about themselves?

* Be truly appreciated for your service?

* Go full time with your tutoring business?
