Why teach English online?

Maybe you would like to teach English but you don`t want to leave home to do it. Or maybe you simply want to add to your current teaching schedule. Maybe you want to try something new? Perhaps there aren`t any English schools near to you, and you don`t want to travel half way around the world to teach in one. Perhaps then, teaching English online is for you.

Benefits of Teaching English Online

Students can benefit greatly from the increased practice that online English lessons offer. To teach English online, you are providing a valuable service. You will increase your knowledge of the world by teaching students in other countries, plus you will be paid for it!

By using a head-set and the appropriate software (often available free for download), you can teach English on your computer via internet connection to virtually any part of the world.

The pay for online English teaching is generally less than teaching at a physical school in or outside Japan,, but one advantage is you can have your coffee in your living room or den, and teach at home!

Take off your pajamas though! Especially the ones with holes in them!

At Universal Class you can teach English and other subjects online to students around the world.

Another Online Way to Help Your Students: iKnow--Cerego

I was introduced to iKnow (Cerego) recently. I don`t think it was the beer I was drinking, but my friend`s laptop displayed the most fantastic software for learning English or any language.

You can use it to teach your students English. You can also have them study it on their own at home or at work.

I plan on using it to study Japanese and French. Other than the fact that it is fantastic software to learn with, the other great thing is that it is totally free.

You can also make your own course. So if you are teaching a group of students and want to cater your course to them, you can do so.

You can cut and paste an article and have Cerego create vocabulary lessons from it. You can choose what vocabulary you want to study.

Your students can also create their own course if they want to.

It is amazingly versatile and to find all the uses you will want to spend some time with it, perhaps studying a language you`d like to learn.
