I just started 270hours from premier TEFL three days ago, because I wasn’t sure my level was good enough to be able to attend the course 180hours level5. For the 180hours level5, it’s written that we need minimum of C1 level (that’s i definitively not have) and for the 270hours, it’s written minimum required would be B1 so I just wanted to pass it because first I know I have at least B1 level thus I’ve just decided to jump into a course that might be more adequate to me. The thing is something is strange due to the minimum level required B1,whereas in the 270 hour package there is 120 hours c ..read more

Hey everyone! I’m currently doing a 200+ hour TEFL qualification with TEFL.org and I’m looking forward to being able to teach English after the course. The question I had was for those who have either been in my position (no prior teaching experience or degree) or to anyone with some knowledge on this. How hard is it to find clients online once you get started? Where did you find your students and is it hard to build a client base big enough to be able to survive financially? Any tips, expectations or areas I should be looking at when it comes to marketing myself/stand out or where to find th ..read more

I have this question on a job application, and I don't know how to answer it: If you are teaching a class with several students, and one student doesn't understand a grammar concept, what would you do? I would appreciate any advice. Most all of my teaching experience has been one on one, and I have ideas of what I'd do, but I don't know what the proper thing to do is. :/ submitted by /u/Good_Objective1420 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My mom has been teaching Spanish online for a while. She loves it. But she kept complaining about how time-consuming (and boring) it is to schedule classes and keep track of payments. All existing solutions were bad, old, and expensive. So I build Waterlesson to help her out. Now she spends all that time reading, writing, and sunbathing. And funny enough, gets more classes booked. You can use it too at waterlesson.com. PS: The first 5 user get 100% off :) submitted by /u/danigleba [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Pretty much all of the international schools in Singapore hire ESL teachers to support their ESL students. This league table video shows just how competitive the international school scene is in Singapore, so it goes without saying that only the most highly qualified and experienced TEFL/ESL teachers tend to get hired in these schools. https://youtu.be/KXF1-0DuunU?si=SroeJckG5e2kE4ly submitted by /u/IntlSchoolLeague [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi there. I am conducting research, which will include a poll and interviews, as part of a learning process to design and build an improved Interactive White Board(IWB) for use in classrooms. This IWB will be designed to improve upon current systems and address common user complaints about them. This is entirely a learning experience for a university course, and no actual physical product will be developed or built. As a current teacher or student, you are an important possible user of any such device, and your experience in the classroom puts you in an ideal position to provide valuable info ..read more

I'm researching possible online English Teaching positions, and a company called Repetry popped up on my Google Search. I haven't been able to find out much review information about this company, only the general information it gives on its page. What I want to know is: how long are the classes? Is their an age preference that teacher's can teach, like only adult students, etc., Do they have international students or are they mainly from China, etc.? Any information about this platform would be great. Thanks so much for your time ? Happy learning ? submitted by /u/Safa_Chi101 [visit reddit ..read more

Hello! I got my TEFL certificate in January, and for the past 1.5 years I have been private tutoring and teaching english to children between the ages of 3 and 12. I also tutor a university business student which I liked better than I thought I would! I realized I actually like tutoring / teaching adults as well as children. I live in Belgium and I honestly can't stand this weather anymore. I also have a dream of learning spanish. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations to schools / programs where I can teach abroad in a spanish speaking country (not europe). Preferably near the wat ..read more

Hi all, I'm looking for book recommendations, fiction or non-fiction. My student has very advanced vocabulary but doesn't want to read books that use over-complicated words or words that aren't really used much in daily life. She wants to practice using her passive vocabulary more. We started reading To Kill A Mockingbird and realised the language wasn't useful. Any recommendations? She just doesn't like sci-fi, but otherwise is open to anything really. Thanks! :) submitted by /u/cleyooo [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
