Why is starting out as an independent teacher hard?
Starting out an as independent online English teacher isn't easy.
There’s all the admin, marketing, and finding materials. And that’s on top of the actual teaching, ensuring each class is tailored to your student to keep them progressing and coming back for more.
BUT…
I love online teaching! I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. Yes, I’ve made many mistakes and learned the hard way about what works and what doesn’t.
The independent teaching landscape has also changed over time; there are now 3rd party sites like italki, Preply, and Verbling where students can find you. Plus, subscription-based all-in materials sites like off-2-class.
I have to say, if I were striking out now as an online English teacher today, I’d be totally overwhelmed with it all. I mean, how do you know where to start?
Thankfully for me, though, I’ve refined the process over time.
- I know what I’m going to teach
- my admin and lesson prep is simple and slick
- As my students come via recommendation, I barely have to advertise (and they often stay with me for years…)
And I’d love to share with you what I’ve learned, saving you time and ££s.
