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:
Tumblr media
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.
