4 Key Tips to Help You Succeed at Teaching English Online

Have you suddenly found yourself teaching online? You’re certainly not alone. English teachers all around the world are in the same position – and it can be hard to know where to start. Teaching English online, is actually quite different than teaching in a classroom

What can we do to be successful online English teachers? Here are 4 tips on how to teach ESL online:

1. Invest in the right technology: Like it or not, you are judged based on how professional your class appears. If you have a blurry camera or bad headset, the video and audio quality won’t be nice for the student. They probably won’t rebook you. Even though working from home has much more casual elements than a brick-and-mortar job (looking at you, pajama pants), you always want your set up to look professional. 2. Take time to get to know each student: You will see a lot of students, no matter how much you decide to teach. I see ten kids per day, four to five days a week. Over time, the students and content all start to run together. But try to keep a few notes about each of your students in a notebook or spreadsheet. If you know they love dogs or dinosaurs or they told you their birthday is next week, make a little note for yourself. If they are really struggling with something, mark that down too. If they haven’t chosen an “American” name, write down how to pronounce their Chinese name. It might be something small, but the student will notice that you remembered. And when a parent sees that you remembered details about their child, a special connection is made. You will get more re-bookings and your parents will probably mention it in their feedback for you. 3. Be punctual and consistently available: Even if you are sick, do your best to always be there. Do not. Do not. Sleep through a class. Set nine alarms on every device you own and hide them around your room if you must. 4. Approach each class with an open mind: The reason I like online teaching so much is because it’s purely about the teaching. It is about finding happiness in learning a new skill, personalized student growth, and lightbulb moments. The students are so excited to learn and it is contagious. Plan to approach every class with a fun and happy mindset. While there are sentimental, good mojo reasons to do this, there are also practical ones. When you teach online, you are recorded. With VIPKID, you and the student get a copy of the recording to review later. And you can see everything on that camera. Frustrated? Checking your phone on the side (yes, it’s obvious)? Yawning? It’s there. If you aren’t on your best teacher A-Game, you get a nice little reminder of it that lives on forever. So get a good night’s sleep. Drink a nice cup of coffee. Find a comfortable chair. And of course, have a blast.      How to get your own students online and charge what you’re worth? In the above book, you will find step-by-step guide to show you how to get started and have your own teaching business online. The book only has 54 pages, and you can complete it within 2 hours.

Can You Earn a Full-time Income Teaching ESL Online?

While there are online ESL teachers earning what can be considered a full-time income through online ESL, it is not the case for the majority. We also don’t recommend you place all of your eggs in one basket. Online ESL teaching is freelance work, and like any freelance work, the amount of work and income can fluctuate throughout the year, so it’s important to keep this in mind. As with any career and financial decision, it is important to plan responsibly.

We mentioned that many online ESL teachers live and work in locations where the cost of living is much lower than in most native English speaking countries. Many of these are freelancing as writers, bloggers, or web designers, while some double up as ESL teachers at school during the day and teach ESL online during the evening. It is entirely possible to make a respectable income and save significantly due to the relatively low cost of living. If you are able and prepared to make such a move, this can be a glorious opportunity to experience life abroad and accomplish your financial goals.

How to Choose an ESL Teaching Niche?

So how do you go about choosing an ESL teaching niche? Many people struggle with this question. However, it doesn't need to be a Mount Everest-sized challenge. 

One of the great things about teaching online is that it is a business model with remarkably few overheads. All you really need is a laptop and internet connection. So, don't sweat bullets about choosing the wrong niche. Just pick something and give it your best shot. If it doesn't work out, pivot to a different niche.

Think about the types of students you enjoy working with. Do you prefer teaching adults or children?

Think about which teaching formats you like the most. Do you enjoy teaching one to one, or would you prefer a group dynamic? Think about how your niche will impact your work/life balance. Do you really want to get up at 4am due to time zone differences between you and your target students? Furthermore, think about your own life experience, skills, or education. What do you have that would give you some level of "domain expertise"? Just because you have never piloted a Boeing 747, it doesn't mean you can't teach aviation English. That stint you did as customer service clerk at the local airport gives you more authority than 99.9% of other TEFL-qualified ESL teachers to specialize in that niche. Of course, you may still need to do some extra training and research, but you are already off to a head start. Whatever ESL teaching niche you choose, don't expect the world to beat a path to your door. Put in the time and effort to find out where your ideal students spend time online. Maybe it's in Facebook Groups. Maybe it's on LinkedIn. Maybe it's in Reddit forums. In any event, validate your niche by starting genuine conversations with these folks. Learn what your potential students' goals are and discover what English language problems are holding them back from success. Then explain how you can solve those problems. Try to get two or three students to agree to take lessons with you, even on an introductory basis. Validate your niche this way before you invest any of your own money into a website or paid marketing. The billions of people across the planet with a desire to learn English are each driven by personal goals, dreams, and motivations. Your challenge is to find the smallest viable groupings of students that would allow you to build the type of business you want to own. Make the decision to become a specialist. Be unique. Strive to be irreplaceable. Become an Freelancer ESL. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about ESL courses or ESL training programs.

How to Teach English Online to Chinese Students

China has a huge demand for online English tutors. But how do you teach English online to Chinese students? Carry on reading to find out.

Factor in the Time Difference: When teaching English online to Chinese students you definitely need to factor in the time difference. Depending on where you live in the world, you might be expected to work mornings, evenings, and even weekends. Chinese students tend to study English online as an extra-curricular activity, so you’ll need to be flexible with your schedule! However, as most companies have a minimum teaching requirement of 10 hours per week, you’ll still have plenty of time to yourself – yes please!

Create Your Virtual Classroom: To kickstart your career teaching English online to Chinese students, you’ll need to create a virtual classroom. Whether it’s the corner of your flat or your parent’s spare bedroom, it’s important to have a dedicated workspace. You’ll usually be teaching young learners, so you’ll need backdrops, props, and a strong internet connection. Teaching online can be pretty tricky so try and avoid as many distractions as possible especially when teaching children. Younger students tend to have short attention spans so make sure your virtual classroom is fun, welcoming, and exciting.

Most online teachers experience technical issues during their lessons so don’t be put off if you’re ever in a similar position! To avoid the oncoming stress fest, make sure that you have a backup device that you can stream your lessons from. Not only will this save you from panicking, but it will also prove to parents that you’re a reliable teacher.

Plan Your Lessons: Like with any online English lesson, planning is key when teaching Chinese students. Although some online teaching platforms provide you with pre-made lesson plans, not all companies do. So, it’s worth having a couple of trustworthy lessons up your sleeve to fall back on in case of an emergency. These can be pretty short and easy to adapt to your individual students’ needs – amazing! The majority of your students will be young learners so make sure your activities are short, interactive, and engaging. For a 20-minute lesson, you should aim to get through 3-4 activities. This can include songs, games, and learning tongue twisters. To benchmark how long your activities should be, why not use a timer on your phone? This will help indicate when it’s time to move on to the next part of your lesson.

Memorising is an integral part of Chinese teaching methods so try and use props and flashcards where possible to teach vocabulary. Not only will these help with repetition, but they’ll also help with pronunciation. This is super important as Chinese and English phonetic systems are completely different, so you want to teach your students correct pronunciation from a young age.
