How many people are we going to teach?
Where and when will the class take place? During the day or at night?
Does the facility have tables, chairs, chalkboard, bathrooms, electricity?
What kind of English class will this be? Tourism? Conversational?
Why do these students need, or even want, to learn English?
How will we advertise? A flyer? Word of mouth?
Do we need to pay to use the facility or the electricity?
How long will each class be? An hour? Hour and a half?
How long will the course run? A couple months? Our entire service?
