Teaching the english language online is becoming more and more popular. Using MSN messenger, Skype or any other web-cam chat client can get you work teaching English! You can set your own hours and availability, and the pay isn’t bad either if you’re a good instructor! There are also dedicated online language schools who hire instructors for their students.
Instructions
- Step 1
Ideally, you should have some sort of certification to show to your prospective students or employers. It’s much better then not having one, and besides, you’ll learn a lot if you do decide to go through some sort of certification program. Check out www.tefl.com or www.tefl.net for more details.
- Step 2
After you get your certification, you can then search for students or an online school. The easiest way is to do a search. There are even sites that will let you post your information and they will get students for you for a small fee. Many language students will post the need for an online tutor on language bulletin boards. Some will request free instruction, but most will pay.
- Step 3
Offer a competitive rate locally per session at the location of the student, and probably a little less since you are teaching online. Online teaching may not make you rich, however, it is always in demand and there’s plenty of work. You just have to go out and get it!
- Step 4
Start teaching! If going solo, you may want to compose some lessons in advance so you don’t have to wing it the entire session. Most online language schools already have lessons composed.
