I had a job interview this afternoon. Very short notice. Small local language school I'd contacted a while ago & which then said it didn't need anyone suddenly asked about my availability. They need someone very soon (Friday!) for one to one lessons, & expect to have more work in a couple of weeks. Business clients, needing a certain (but not very high) level of English for work or courses.
I'll find out about the Friday work tomorrow. That will also mean a couple of hours every day next week. Not a lot, but every little helps. If I get it, & do well enough for them to give me more work, it's a foot in the door. One to one is exactly what I want, at least for now, as it's what I'm best at. I am, to be frank, crap in front of a class, but give me one or a few who I can deal with as people, rather than a class, & I get on fine.
Looks promising. My age is seen as an advantage (some grey hairs get a bit more respect from the students), as is living very near to the school. My inexperience is only seen as a minor drawback for the work they have now, but reduces what I can expect to be paid (no surprise).
