Advice on teaching cello please Options

[jml376]

Hello everyone- I'm aware this is very similar to the poster looking for advice on teaching piano, but this is just a coincidence, honestly!
I've always lurked on the forums, but this is my first post. My background is this: I gave up cello while preparing for Grade 6, when I left school. Two years ago I picked it up again. I absolutely love it, it's become so important to me, and having since passed Grade 6 and hoping to do Grade 7 in the winter, I had decided to do G8 and then the teaching diploma (all in good time- and I hadn't mentioned it to anyone).
During my last lesson, my teacher (who is a wonderful lady with over 40 years' professional and teaching experience) told me that she thought I'd make a good teacher and I should start putting feelers out for a pupil or two. My problem is that I have no actual musical qualification as such (apart from G6 practical and G5 theory, of course). I'm studying for my BA Humanities with Music (my first degree is in English), but without a teaching diploma, will parents want me teaching their child? Also, how does one go about advertising effectively? I also play in a local orchestra- do you think this would be a helpful thing to state on any advert?
I haven't told anyone what my teacher suggested- I know my husband would be all for it, and I would love some objective advice before I make a decision. I would only want to teach beginner children, at least for a few years till I get my diploma. Do you think this is feasible?
Thanks in advance

Why do people say 'only ' teaching beginners? ! This is the hardest skill, not the easiest! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
