Here is an excerpt from the interview with Isha.
Q1. When and how did you start as a Spoken English Trainer?
Ans: I have 12 years of experience working with big brands in the market at the mid-management level, however, after marriage, it started seeming to be too daunting to get back to what I always thought I was made for. I was constantly advised, and prompted, by my near and dear ones not to let my potential go waste. They suggested that I try my hand at tutoring as good communication was something that I had picked naturally, and effortlessly while working with international clients. Finally, I started working as a Spoken English Teacher for an e-learning platform in 2015. Since then, I have been teaching students who aspire to become better at English and get an edge over others.
Q2. What skills are required to become a Spoken English Trainer?
Ans: To start with, the most important skill to becoming, and sustaining oneself, as a tutor is your interest and the in-depth knowledge of the language you are teaching. The patience and knack of understanding the students, and then teaching, are important too.
Q3. What do you think makes you stand out from other Spoken English Trainers on UrbanPro.com?
Ans: The dedication and the importance that I give to each student is something that my students have mentioned as a quality that I carry when they compare me with their previous tutors. I treat each student as different and take them to a level they had just imagined and never believed they could ever reach. Punctuality and consistency is something I depend on. These qualities might not make you rich but they certainly earn you respect and fetch a lot of business.
Q4. How did you come across UrbanPro.com?
Ans: It was introduced by one of my friends who already had an account at UrbanPro.
Q5. What was the turning point in your career?
Ans: The turning point in my career was when I saw online tutoring as an opportunity and it suited my situation.
Q6. How did UrbanPro.com help you expand your teaching classes?
Ans: UrbanPro.com has genuinely helped me in exploring options and helping others. I have been teaching students from UrbanPro for about 2 years and want this to go on for many years to come.
Q7. What percentage of your work comes from UrbanPro.com?
Ans: 50%
