Online Teaching English

Hazel Said:

Is an online Teaching English as a Second Language course as good and certified as a classroom course?

We Answered:

For an entry level job, there is no difference. Online certificates are becoming much more popular and as long as you go with a reputable company you will be fine.

There are a lot of providers out there who will tell you that you MUST have teaching practice and a minimum of x hours, but the truth is that most schools just want to see a piece of paper with TEFL Certificate at the top and your name at the bottom.

But, to make the most of it, you want to learn something useful so you can teach the class well and get the most out of your time teaching.

So if you don't have the money to blow on a big, expensive course, online tefl certs are a fine alternative.

I'd recommend getting an online cert now and then in a few years time if you want to go for higher level jobs, go for a CELTA. But for the first few years online is no problem.

Carolyn Said:

What do I need to remember when putting up a home based online English class?

We Answered:

asking for payment won't be a big prob. unless it's a high pay,
you can first give some free trial classes, it might be difficult for you to give free demo training to all the people that would ask you for one.
you can create a word document on english training and convert it into pdf format and out it up for download on your blog, you can advertise for it on other sites.

http://primopdf.com will help you convert documents into pdf
give contact details, fee, qualification, way of teaching and medium of teaching on the blog.
good luck
