In the middle of the episode, Alina shares her multi-step process of choosing her students before signing contracts with them. She also makes sure that they are ready to commit to long term studying process and understand how much they need to work. Before starting teaching her clients Alina provides them with information about how many classes her clients may reschedule and agrees about several planned breaks during the studying period. At the end of the episode, I asked Alina to share her tips for teachers who don’t have the courage to quit their work at school and become self-employed and the tips Alina shared are really worth being heard!
