You might have heard about home-based
online teaching from someone or read about it somewhere. You might have a vague
idea what it is, and might even have a secret desire to try it out. But what is
it really and why should you pursue it?
Home-based online teaching, as its name
implies, is a job where you teach students through a web-based teaching tool
from the comfort of your home. Many are actually considering this kind of job
these days. For example, in 51Talk, an online English school catering to foreign-language
learners in China, there are currently about 4,000 online English teachers,
making 51Talk the fastest growing online English Language Teaching (ELT)
platform in the Philippines and the number one online English learning platform
in China.
Aside from this rapidly growing
niche, here are ten more reasons for you to pursue a home-based online teaching
job.
10. You earn money while staying home.
No need to travel to work as you can
do your work at home.
9. Kiss traffic goodbye.
Need we say more? Save yourself the trouble
of being stuck on the road.
8. You plot your work schedule.
At 51Talk, you choose your working
hours. How cool is that?
7. You learn, too.
Learning becomes a two-way street.
Your student learns from you, and you learn from your student!
6. Save money.
A typical employee goes to work
where he spends on fare/gas, meals, overpriced coffee, snacks, etc. Working
from home will cut back on these expenses.
5. Pursue your passion while you earn at home.
Take up a new hobby. Improve on a
skill set. Working at home gives you time to do other things.
4. You get to celebrate festivities with your family and friends.
Free yourself from the hassle of
working away from home on a holiday.
3. Tap a skill you never thought you have.
Maybe for now, you don’t think
teaching is for you. Unless you try it out, though, you might never discover if
you have a knack for it.
2. Work-life balance seems easier now to achieve.
The time you save from traveling to
work… Being at home to see your kids every day… These are just two examples that
show work-life balance is achievable in this kind of job.
1. You get to change lives.
The most gratifying part of being a
home-based online teacher is that you get to make a difference in the lives of
your students. There is something immensely satisfying about being able to see
your students’ progress every day because of your efforts to help them.
As with any other job, home-based
online teaching should not be misconstrued as a walk in the park, but the above
reasons are perks that can really turn heads.
If you want to be a home-based online
teacher, we recommend you apply to the leading ELT company in the country:
