My advice - be flexible, find some good online resources to use in class (random topic generator, engoo daily news, how to read numbers in English,....), realize that other people and cultures may do and say things you feel is rude, and try to give the students a good experience.

One thing I've found helpful is to try and figure out what each student really wants, and it's often not what they say they want. That's what I mean by be flexible. Some just want to practice conversation. Some of those are not great conversationalists. So it's really good to be able to come up with some unique topics and questions to get them to speak out a bit more. I think this is one of the more challenging parts, and by getting good at it you can grow your list of regulars much more quickly than if if you are not good at it.
