Great for finding quality students

I've been with Teacher Finder for over a year, and have had great students. They've been well matched to me in terms of time availability, interests, skills they want to learn, etc. The staff are easy to work with and the paperwork/payment is fast and simple. Basically, you fill out a profile form for Teacher Finder and they use that published profile to match you with interested students. It's a great way to find students and build your own mini-school after you're in a country.

What would you improve about this program?
This program is great for teachers to find students once the teacher is in the country.

Love Teacher Finder

Teacher Finder is an efficient and reliable organisation that has found me excellent teaching opportunities over the years. As well as being professional they're also friendly and accessible.

Teacher Finder has helped me solve unexpected situations regarding my english lessons and has been approachable and helpful at all times.

Teacher Finder has developed and grown profoundly throughout the years and it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this process.

What would you improve about this program?
Teacher Finder seems to be constantly looking for ways to improve and this is definitely felt by its pool of teachers.

Great Organization!

I am currently a student in Budapest and was looking for some extra income. I had been looking for students earlier, and Teacher Finder made the process easy! Teacher Finder has helped me receive a steady income and I always receive support when I need it while also given a lot of freedom. Teacher Finder connects those in your city who are looking for English lessons, and you take care of the rest.

TeacherFinder Works

I had been teaching English in Budapest as a private tutor for several years (to students found mostly via online tutor-advertising websites or word-of-mouth) when, about half a year ago, I happened upon the local branch of TeacherFinder, LearnEnglishBudapest, while browsing the Internet; and quickly signed up for it. I'm glad that I did so, because since then they have matched me up with lots of individual students, as well as English teacher-seeking language schools, thus augmenting my teaching income. The service is uncomplicated, easy, and effective to use, with clear-cut rules, and no intrusiveness at all on their part after the initial match-up. The fee they charge is reasonable and one-time only. Communications with them are friendly, open, and courteous; they usually answer questions or concerns promptly, as well as providing any advice needed. Overall, I think that TeacherFinder is a really simple and efficient, almost ideal, avenue for finding and connecting with English-language learners in your area, especially for one-on-one private tutoring.

What would you improve about this program?
As for any aspects of this service that could be improved - well, for one thing, it would be better if TeacherFinder could recruit more students (and teachers) from the more outlying, peripheral, suburban and fringe areas of the city, instead of being concentrated mostly on the downtown/city center/main city area like it now is. That would reduce transportation time and costs involved in meeting with the students. In addition, it would probably be a good idea to spread increases in the advertised lesson prices out over a more extended period of time, since too-rapid rises in lesson prices might result in lower numbers of potential students willing to use this service (although TeacherFinder gives teachers wide leeway in negotiating instructional fees with individual pupils).

Teacher Finder a great working relationship.

I first heard of Teacher Finder through an Irish friend, who was already working through them in Budapest. I had been considering going back to teaching English, but wasn't sure whether I could be bothered with the hassle of building up a good student base. I thought I'd give them a try due to his recommendation and was very pleasantly surprised. The application process was straight forward and quick. They started dending me potential students within a week. I find Andrew and his team really supportive and efficient at their jobs and they generally match students well according to the answers they give in the questionnaires. If you ever have a problem with a student or a question regarding anything they are always there for you and make it really easy to work with them. I find the freedom they give you in choosing your own hours and the types of students you prefer to teach to be a great way of doing things. To be honest I can't really think of anything negative to say about them and would recommend them to anyone looking to teach languages.

What would you improve about this program?
I think it is fine as it is. If it ain't broke...

TeacherFinder is a Lifestyle Changer

I was delighted to find that teaching English in Budapest is a viable and sustainable lifestyle.

Since I posted my profile on Teacherfinder, I've had multiple matches with great students. By now, I have weeded out those that aren't a great fit and kept those that work out well for me. What results is a good income and a lifestyle that suits me.

I am my own boss, I make my own hours, I choose who I work with.

I particularly enjoy that TF leaves it up to you to talk about pricing, timing, details - it makes for a very personalized experience with each student.

What would you improve about this program?
If more teachers joined, TF could create more localized matches to avoid long travel times.

As it is you can already pass up any matches that include too much travel for your taste. Still, you feel bad leaving a student from an outer district without a good match and your conscience would rest easier if there was another teacher to jump in your place.

Best Way of Giving Private Lessons

I started working with Teacher Finder as a way of finding more private students in Madrid. The process of signing up with them was simple - I had to fill out an online form with my qualifications and experience, and after that all I had to do is wait. They make introductions to students via email and then simply get out of the way and let me teach the way I want to. It also gives me a lot of flexibility to set my own availabilities and hours.

You have a very clear understanding of what their conditions and terms are, and it makes working with them really easy and straightforward. Andrew and the team is helpful with making any changes and they get updates on what my openings are, so the process runs smoothly.

What would you improve about this program?
To be honest, I think it works really well already. It's a simple and straightforward process that doesn't really need much messing with.

Working for Teacher Finder

I was not quite sure that Teacher Finder was going to provide me some students, but from the very beginning they offered me classes and stayed in contact with to follow the process.
Also, the way the answer rapidly all the mails and communications make much easier the time you can prepare in advance your schedule and your lessons.
Simply, comfortable and effective, I would highly recommend Teacher Finder over others.
