Hello!
I am Russian and I want to begin tutoring! =)
I love to learn languages and, frankly, I’d love to help people in learning my language. I just don’t know how to start…
Do you need to be a professional linguist to teach and to be a tutor?
I don’t think that to learn language you need to learn grammar by book, it is possible to learn a language just by reading, listenning and watching stuff, I am sure. Just like that I am learning Italian and already can talk with mistakes but being understood and can understand almost everithing that I hear.
So, tutors, please tell me, is it possible to begin just like I am or I need to gain some knowledge in my language teaching?
What do you do to make your language teaching succsessful and desired by learners?
Hi wisedashD,
Our teaching is open to anyone. You can teach any of the languages available on the site. You just have to choose your teaching languages (Exchange requests and Conversation requests language) on the Settings page, Notifications tab (Login - LingQ).
If you want to host conversations, you should input available conversation time in your calendar. You can start creating some conversations now by going to Teach page (Exchange > Teach) on LingQ and clicking on “Add/Edit Conversations” on the right hand side.
If you want to correct writing or provide other Exchange services, you should go to the Exchange and look for requests to respond to. Part of being a successful tutor also involves creating lessons or being active on the Ask a tutor forum so that learners start to learn who you are.
