Here is an excerpt of the interview:
Q1. Tell us your journey as a German Trainer?
Ans. A few years back, I learned the German language as a hobby, without any intention of becoming a trainer as I was a qualified Physiotherapist and had a good job in hand. I started learning German language because it was my passion. Eventually, I got a student through an acquaintance who wanted to learn A1 level for visa application. That time I was not sure about teaching because I was inexperienced, but I knew that I can do it. Fortunately, the student passed A1 exam scoring 80%, which was a fantastic thing for an inexperienced trainer like me. That’s how my journey started as a German Trainer and over the years I kept getting assignments from various institutes, corporates and students through references. Since then I have never looked back.
Q2. What do you think makes a great German Trainer?
Ans. I think my German grammar is crystal clear. Additionally, I have knowledge about German culture, customs & rituals, do’s & dont’s in Germany, and knowledge about German embassy like visa document requirements which makes me a great teacher. I think having these kind of knowledge is extremely important apart from just the language.
Q3. How you came across UrbanPro?
Ans. I came across UrbanPro on Internet.
Q4. What percentage of your work comes from UrbanPro?
Ans. I get enquiries from students who post their requirements, which has helped me in expanding my business.
Q5. What percentage of your work comes from UrbanPro?
Ans. I would say 50% of my work comes from UrbanPro. Rest of the work comes through references from my students.
Q6. One advice that you would like to give to new Pros on UrbanPro?
Ans. My advice is to be honest and good at their work. Teaching cannot be a business only. Quality brings more work.
