#267 Learn English by Teaching

Michael Lavers
About this episode

A listener asked me how they can teach English to their friend, so I decided to give some tips and advice in this podcast episode.

I cover some tips you can do to help a friend, partner, or family member learn English - whether this is in a casual setting or a more structured lesson setting.

I also cover some mistakes that many beginner teachers make, which will you useful for you no matter what kind of teaching you are interested in.

And finally, I talk at the end about some basic steps to take if you're interested in becoming a professional teacher and making some extra money from that.
