Teaching English abroad is a wonderful opportunity for many English teachers to travel and see the world. Of course, teaching English is a profession and the treatment of English teachers from contractual to cultural can vary greatly from country to country. These shared experiences will help teachers get insight into what might await them teaching English online. Share your Experiences

Teaching online experiences: great!

I have been teaching online for three years. I teach English, Spanish and French and enjoy having students all over the world. We, the students and me, learn from each other due to that, cultural knowledge and job opportunities increase everyday. We have very dynamic classes practicing all languages skills with lessons planned for each individual's needs. Skype: ileana.borbon Mail: teacher@tutor-translator.com.

Teaching Online is Great

I've been teaching online for a few years now and it has become my full-time business. It took a lot of work to find the right technology, teaching methods, and promotional strategies. Now that it's all come together, I love it even more than in-class teaching (which I started doing 14 years ago). I've noticed that there are many people who can chat with students, but there is a market out there for serious teachers. Sidhartha Desai www.ExpertEnlgishTeacher.com
