How does one start a language school? Ever since I was a teen, I dreamed of having my own language school. I even tried it once but the small town I lived in and my lack of experience made it flop before it even got started. I had a few students but it wasn't enough to thrive off of and expanding was out of the question as I had no idea about the technical side of hiring other instructors nor did I have the overhead to take on such an expense. Well, soon I will be moving to a large city and want to try this endeavor again. What I want to know is: Is it best to do solely online lessons for this language school I want to create, to have traditional classes or a both? What are the technical things I need to have in order to officially get this language school off the ground? How can I ensure that my school will create enough revenue to allow the business to thrive as well as prevent me & any teachers I would hire from living in poverty?
