There are a few professions in this world which shall not diminish and teaching is one such profession. If you have a passion to teach, then you must pursue your dream. Even teaching CA students is a great skill and it does not come easy to everyone.

There are lot of avenues available for teaching in many big cities, only thing you need to network and grab opportunities to live your dream. Wish you best of luck for your teaching career.

I live in a big city so what should I do first? Shall I set up my own coaching classes or should I first join somewhere to gain experience? a friend of mine has competed her CWA and is suggesting that we both start our own tutions. On the other hand CA teachers are getting good salaries. What to do?

Starting your own academy would need decent infrastracture to be set up. The location becomes very important in terms of students accessibility, mobility, safety, lesser distractions etc. Pricing is another key element to bear in mind as you are aware of the thriving competetion. You need to firstly identify your target audience for whom you will be coaching. - whether degree students , CPT , IPCC or Final.

If you don't want to take big risk, firstly you can associate yourself with some coaching academy, see their overall model and if it suits you to have your own academy then go for it. But, the biggest asset in coaching is your students. They need to be your spokespersons by sharing their experiences with fellow students and others. thereby giving you that visibility.
