Finding the right audience

#Mistake 2: Trying to Please Everyone Right now I teach Dutch one to one. I accept all students, which means I've got a nice mix of students - beginner, advanced, those who learn languages as a hobby and those needing it in daily life, etc.

I find I get by far the most enjoyment from those at higher levels (B1-B2+). We can actually have interesting conversations, they ask fascinating grammar questions (which I love getting into) and they are confident sharing interesting stuff they came across.

I've never really considered this before, but I wonder if it's worth it to focus on this group - specialising in this (maybe even ask a higher rate), and say "no" to beginners, which feels really counter-intuitive.
