Honestly, I am amazed that teaching English is still viable...I guess I have read so much about it that to me it seems played out and the market is saturated, but I guess not.
I think you need to come in with an angle or niche. For example teaching business English or English for pre-school kids. I have an angle that I think will allow me to make a lot of money teaching there,the problem is I have no idea how to teach! A Russian friend of mine who is a Muscovite used to pay a dude 80 Euros an hour to teach her English and all he did was use a book,he had no idea how to teach. Apparently he had loads of clients though! I think if you have not been to Moscow you'd be amazed at how few foreigners there seems to be there considering it's such a massive city and such an important hub. Apart from on the Old Arbat or Red Square I never really bumped into any which means you can still stand out there.
