Become An English Conversation Tutor.

Finally... A simple guide for becoming an 
English Language Conversation Tutor, anywhere in the world

If you?ve ever thought about helping foreign students with their English, this is the ebook for you.

Are you a Native English Language Speaker?

Do you enjoy talking with students from foreign countries?

You want to be a tutor but don?t have time to do a course?

Well, this ebook will give you everything you need to begin.

Hi. My name is James Hogan and I?ve been tutoring foreign students English conversation skills for 7 years.

I?m here to tell you that it is very easy to start your own English language conversation tutoring business.

Perhaps this is familiar to you?
"I'm doing what I want, when I want!"I wanted to be able to help students with their English language conversation skills, but I had responsibilities where I lived so moving to another country was not an option. I also didn?t really want to work under someone else, preferring to run my own show.

So, when I met James at a bar in Sydney and he told me about the ebook he was writing I was very eager to get a good look at it.

Well, after reading it, I can tell you I was quite surprised as to how easy it looked to run. After the detailed advice in the ebook I was able to set up my business within a few days and had students calling me within a week.

Now I?m running my own part time English language conversation tutoring business in Sydney and I?m really happy doing it. There?s always something new to learn so it?s never boring, and best of all, I?m doing what I want, when I want!

Thanks James!

Or this"I didn't have to leave the country!"Hey, mate. How?re ya? Thanks for the advice! I was a bit lazy so didn?t really get this off the ground for a month or so, but thank God I didn?t have to get stuck trying to learn a new language or new customs in a country I didn?t want to live in.

Now I?m tutoring students at pubs and clubs around Sydney where I live. Helps pay for the beer!

Remind me I owe you a Guinness or two!

So, if you?ve always wanted to try tutoring English to English as a Second Language (ESL) students, now?s your chance. Because in this ebook I?ve included everything you need to know to set up your own English Language Conversation tutoring business in your own area!

Yes, that?s right. You don?t have to go to a far off country and teach in some school you?ve never heard of. You can do this in a café or other place close to your home.

Maybe you want to do it for some extra pocket money, or maybe you?re retired and wouldn?t mind doing something like this in your spare time.

Perhaps the only thing that is holding you back is that you don?t know how to cross the line!

It?s the ?getting started? part that no one tells you about.

It?s all very well for all these self help books to say that they can give you such and such advice to help you start your own business, but if they don?t actually tell you HOW to start your own business, how will it help you?

Well, this ebook will help you start today!

Check out this great review by Charles Amith.

But first, a bit about my tutoring history.

I like to plan ahead so not knowing what I needed to plan for put me off setting up my tutoring business. I knew there were people out there doing it casually for some extra pocket money but I didn?t know anyone who could help me.

I did a literacy course, then a TESOL certificate course. I read copious exercises and brushed up on my grammar. I practiced teaching some of my friends, and I regularly searched the net for information, but what I couldn?t find was a step by step guide to starting up a private tutoring business.

It looked to me like all the English Colleges and private tutors did not want this information to be public. But I knew that there were enough ESL students in the world that everyone could work in this area and still get enough students to be successful.

So I threw myself in at the deep end. Through trial and error I finally worked out how I could get students. From 1 per week, then 2 then 4, then, before I knew it I was tutoring 22 students a week and had to put up my prices to reduce the amount of requests I was getting. I was also able to quit my day job, finally!

After 7 years of doing this I?m taking a break. I?ve put this ebook together so that many people like you can do what I did, anywhere in the world.

And now, YOU can avoid all those long steps I took and become an English language conversation tutor today by reading my ebook. 

Become an English Language Conversation Tutor
For Tutoring Adult Intermediate and Advanced Students
2nd Edition 2008
By James Hogan

So, what does it contain?

This ebook is over 140 pages. But don?t be dismayed, almost half those pages are exercises for you to print for your students.

That?s right. Not only do you get all the advice you need to start up your business, but the ebook contains over 10 lessons worth of exercises for your students.

That's approximately 10 hours worth of lessons for your students!!

While no amount of exercises will cover every student, having 10 lessons worth of material ready, means you can start advertising yourself as an English Language Conversation Tutor, before you?ve even read the ebook!!!
Dear Mr Hogan

Thank you very much for your ebook ?Become an English Language Conversation Tutor?. I found it to be very useful. I?m a single mum and I?ve found that being able to earn a bit of extra pocket money tutoring students while my son is in school makes things a bit easier.

I especially liked the exercises you included as they mean that I don?t have to do much lesson planning for some of my students. I?ve only been doing this a couple of months but already I?ve got 5 regular students which fit into my schedule very well.

I also appreciate the advice you gave on how to make sure I do the right thing by the tax department. I?ve got my own ABN and I let my accountant take care of the details.

When my son gets a bit older I?m sure I?ll be able to do this full time.

With appreciation

What else do you get?

Well, I bet it can be hard to write a classified advertisement advertising your services. Well, I?ve made it easy. I?ve included the advertising I use online to get students. Just change a couple of things like the name and number and you can use it yourself.

I?ve also included a template for notice boards that have been proven to get me a large number of students. Once again, just change a few details and you can use it anywhere. Start getting calls within days!

But exercises and advertising aren?t all there is in this ebook.

* Step by step guides for starting up your business, running your first lesson, planning your future lessons

* A Step by step guide on how to teach online. A whole chapter devoted to setting up your online teaching service.

* Example advertising, email letters, phone scripts and other useful pages to make it easy to start.

* Lists of questions on various topics for discussion lessons so that you won't run out of things to ask.

* Pronunciation exercises for your students, as well as tips to help you get them to improve themselves.

* 10 lessons worth of plans and exercises for use in 1 hour conversation lessons.

* Advice on how to get your students coming back for more.

And much more!

Did you know that there is one letter of the English alphabet that Brazilians students really have trouble with? Improve that and suddenly they?re much easier to understand. Find out in this ebook.

Did you know that some Asian students have no idea about a particular suffix and why it sounds different in different words? Find out about it in this ebook.

Did you know that there?s a particular sound that replaces a lot of vowels in our language that makes English sound the way it does, and really opens the eyes of students when they learn of it? Check out the exercise in this ebook.

If you?ve been waiting for a guide to help you start your English Language Conversation Tutoring business you don?t need to wait anymore. You can save months of time and worry by downloading this ebook today for the introductory price of US$47

Yes, that?s right. Only US$47 Can you believe it? 7 years of distilled advice, knowledge, steps on how to set up your business, exercises and more. Over 140 pages for only US$47

I bet you?re asking ?Why is the price so low??

Actually, this price is for a limited time only and will be increasing soon, so don?t delay.

Now?s your chance to get hold of this easy tutor's guide and grab all the students in your area before someone else does!

This is the best time to get students so start putting into practice the advice in the ebook as soon as possible.

If you?ve got a resolution that you?re going to do something different with your life, now?s the time.

Click here now to buy online

The ?Become an English Language Conversation Tutor ebook pdf will be emailed to you as soon as your payment is confirmed.

I give you my personal guarantee that this ebook contains useful information that will be helpful in helping you to start your own business.

If you?re not satisfied I will give you a full refund, no questions asked.

100% guaranteed

Here's how to get your copy today

Remember, you?re getting the equivalent value of seven years worth of my experience. I don?t think you could put a price on that.

Plus, you?ll also be able to avoid all those mistakes and pitfalls that I?ve made while I tried to set up my business.

This is real ?insider? information and the best part of years of experience and research would usually cost hundreds of dollars.

I?ve looked at reports of only 60 pages selling for over US$1200.00! Why are other reports so costly? Because that?s what people will pay for secrets, expert knowledge and specialised training.

Most new English language conversation tutors charge over $25 per hour for their service. This means?

You could make your money back with your first student!

But I?m planning to increase it to US$97 soon so please don?t be surprised if you come back the next day and the price has already gone up. I?m not sure how long I can keep it at this low price.

Even so, US$97 is such a good deal for all the information that you?ll get with this ebook that I?m sure you probably would still be happy with that price if you have to come back later.

Click here to buy your copy for US$47 online NOW!

And that?s not all. If you download your copy today I?ll throw in this bonus!

having a movement in the plaza boo

having a movement in the plaza boo....

 San Luis Potosoi Friday night walking through the plaza from one side to the other and back, beautiful night, full moon....




Listen!

The Performers 2010 end of season Mexico Tour

 The Performers 2010 end of season Mexico Tour

Ahhh Mazatlan-

Culiacan-
Cosas no se buenas no?
El proBlema es contigo
Quien es el major alcade


Aguascalientes
Leon
Cuernavaca
Guadaljara
The beaches are a great sight. There are waves and the local surfers
are chill, along the main waterfront there are at least a dozen closed
clubs and bars and I wonder if they forced them out to promote tourist
business more toward the point alongside EL CID...
This was where we heard from the representative that the children or
families there are not interested in learning English!


Strange as they are so close to the USofA and tourism is or could be a big bonus for the city. If your interested in CHEAP HOLIDAYS click on the above photo and register to qualify now!
It's been a bit wierd seeing the papers and seeing the trail of mal
onda in the same areas we have been through. We've met nothing but
great people along the way.
In Queretaro, from Javier we learned about some of the legends about
the cemetary up on the magnetic mountain overlooking the city where
the cars can even roll UPHILL on their own! The taxista who tells of
the malonda and horror stories regarding the carteles in the north
where we were headed....
(you can listen to the stories at
www.audioboo.fm/friendsperform) or
check out the video of the cities history at
www.blogspot.com/friendsoftheperformers
Obregon nothing much to report but in
Chihuahua well the same really, it is quite wild but we were there
only one day and did nothing but bought excellent cowboy boots!
Morelia is home to one of the bigger cartel families and is reputed to
have strong ties to the community with large donations going to
schools and local government (say no more) it's a beautiful and v old
city with roots going back to the first JUNTAS


Torreon there was a shootout and the streets were deserted, the
central plaza has been closed for more than a year and according to
the cool arty bar opposite, the deserted site it still has urban myths
of gold on the site and tunnels for the president as well as others
but the locals are just fed up with all the crap. I think it was here
where a teacher recanted the story of a student who had noticed she
had three different cars (Audi, BMW etc), but none of the teachers
knew what the students did; that she was the daughter of one of the
carteleros (my word, like cartenero but with more cash) but she and
her brother were expelled for inappropriate behaviour, a short time
later the office was bombed and burntout.
Saltillo is a bit more chill because the carteles families are all
based there, so it's mostly the cities eitherside that get the flak,
unfortunately things have been so bad in the last four years that the
locals cannot make the drive to Mazatlan for beach holidays as they
WILL be robbed, obviously people are starting to leave which is a
saying alot as Mexicans are very staunch and family orientated, the
ones that can afford to move the whole family are the ones with money
as for 400-500 thousand USD will get you a green card as an investor.
I cannot help but wonder if this instability is being orchestrated to
get money flowing to the USofA, they have long been supplying
munitions to Mexico....and Colombia...and Honduras, Nicaragua....etc,
maybe we will see an appearance of the "AMERO" currency very shortly
unless the ZEITGEIST Movement takes effect which I would prefer to see
much more than the so-called NEW WORLD ORDER.

Monterrey has one of the most spectacularly beautiful entrances I've
seen with the gigantic sierras cradeling the city, again it's a shame
that the unrest has hindered the reconstruction and further devlopment
of this city which has stalled since the hurricane hit.
Reynosa 1799- a great theatre although the experimental theatre where
we played was experimenting with iki ban camerines... Meaning they
were just empty rooms
San Luis Potosoi- another brilliant sunset
(check out my new poem at
http://bambazonke88.blogspot.com/2011/02/road-to-potosoi.html
)
Last three shows for the 2010 season!
