How to Start Private Lessons

Current big eikaiwa contractor here, living just outside of Tokyo. I’m thinking of offering lessons on my own to supplement my income, I figure there must be a rate I can charge that’s better than the big names and a boost to my usual salary.

How did you get started as an independent teacher? How did you find a client base? What types of materials do you use?

Currently N4-ish but looking to take N3 this July. No professional certifications at the moment but I’m looking at a few.
