Thank you for uploading these videos .. I'm 22 and moved to Normandy, France to live with my french GF in May. Couldn't speak a sentence in French properly, but now I can hold fluent conversations about almost anything, due to the fact I was lucky enough to get a customer service role in a supermarket dealing face to face with clients everyday.. I found that practicing everyday what I had read in books, with clients really helped me develop my listening and speaking skills. Also, coaching my GF to speak better English has made me realise that I know what it takes to learn a new language, I want to use those skills to help others. Your videos are really helpful and have given me the courage to pursue a venture in teaching English online.. Maybe in the future French too?! Just wanted to say thanks and keep it up. Regards, a fellow Englishman
+Harry Watkins Thanks Harry. Sorry it took me a while to respond. Get in touch if you have any questions about making the transition into online teaching. Here is a guide to help you get started: www.teachingeslonline.com/resources-teaching-english-online
You are so generous sharing all this. I have to make the transition and teach Spanish online due to the current cov .. situation. I was freaked out, now i feel hopeful. Gracias!! Abrazos desde México!
All of the information that you have given with all the links you have provided is extremely informative and helpful! Thanks so much! I can't wait to read/listen to more of your posts and maybe check out the course.
+Keyti Lynn Thanks! Be sure to get your guide: www.teachingeslonline.com/resources-teaching-english-online - and here is the link to my course: www.teachenglishonlinecourse.com
I'm a German Roman Canadian, I lived in Colombia, south america for 9 years, and now am I back in North America here, I would like to meet up with you if you'd like to.!
Hi jack, I'm really interested in teaching online.. creating my own website etc. I'm fluent in Portuguese, I already have an audience on my youtube channel with Brazilian followers.. I've never taught English before but I'm really passionate to teach it. Do I need a degree or a certificate to teach english? Really hope to hear back, Jacob from New Zealand
I just discovered this idea of teaching ESL online tonight. My bachelor's is in English Education 7-12; I did teach high school English for one year and did court reporting and mediation after that. Tonight I found your video and also a website called italki where they hook teachers up with students. I already have a Wordpress website -- well, a bunch of them, one business website and a whole bunch of the .com free websites, so setting up yet another website is no problem. So what's your opinion: fly solo, or work with an organization like italki? I'd like to hear what you think about the two ways to go. Sounds like italki takes 15% of what the teacher would be paid. Kind of like a finder's fee.
Hi Jack, would you be able to update this info? So much had changed since you did this video in 2015 and for those of us just starting- we would like to know more or less what the new fees might include. Thanks so much. I enjoy your training.
Not much has changed, to be honest. However, I update this article - www.teachingeslonline.com/teach-english-online-get-started/ - every year. It's good for 2018.
Hi Jack, I'm very interested in teaching ESL. I filled out the form to get the videos from you but have received nothing yet. I am new to this so I will need all the help I can get! :)
Hi. My name is Alexandros Simtzis, I'm a native speaker of Greek, but my English is also good. And I live in Chile, so I also speak Spanish. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
I have never taught online in serious before so I'd like to know how a class would be organised. How would you put in the worksheets of explanations etc. In general, how to go about it. Thank you
Hi Jack... I'm not a native English-speaker, but I love the language. My dream is to make money while being surrounded by English and also help other people progress in it. Do you think I can do it? I've been learning English for almost 4 years now (Been in love with it ever since), and I'm at an advanced level. I wonder if I would still get enough students to make a living off of it (considering there are many native speakers out there teaching it for good rates) What do you think?
Of course. I know a bunch of non-native teachers who are doing very well. It's all about offering value and playing to your strengths. Get in touch through my site if you have further questions.
hi jack. this is Nick from Canada. I'll make this short I've taught English online before. but only for free on skype to a man in Beijing. the results were remarkable. he now considers himself an expert. and I co wrote a technical paper with a woman from Brazil. it seems that I have the ability to understanding very poor English. and convert it into proper English.?? I now have lots of time on my hands but I cannot find students. I'm very interested in subcontracting if you know of anyone? Nick
+Kaoss Comkaoss Have you thought about doing this independently? Here is a my free guide for this: www.teachingeslonline.com/resources-teaching-english-online
Hi Nick as you see I saw you on Jack's comments list. I see that you are also teaching online. I am South African and just got a job of teaching Mathematics online too. It's a new thing for me. May I request you to practice with me for few minutes. I haven't started any class yet. I signed up on Zoom too. I watched TH-cam videos about Zoom too. Please agree. Kindly send me an invitation on hzadeducationnomsa@gmail.com
Hello Omar, I am an experienced online ESL teacher; I am looking for a school / class / students to teach starting about 01.01.18. Send me an email @ skypeenglishexpress@gmail.com if you would like.
I'm super excited that you're helping other people teach online, I've been doing the same through other means. If you're looking to teach online as a freelancer, you should check out LessonSpeak.com! LessonSpeak helps freelance online English teachers by providing them the resources they need to get started teaching right away. They are currently offering free curriculum and training!
Thanks when do you have them pay you ? How soon before the class? & do you have some pay you monthly or weekly subscriptions options too? How do you choose pricing?
Teah!Sure, but you need to continually encourage potential students each month. At the beginning you might hae a hard time but eventually you will have more students and they will start to recommend your courses! Good luck.
Hey Jack, I would like to write my math problems out on a board online while having my face visible. How would I do that? Please recommend any software. The intuo tab I think is what will give me the writing aspect. But I'm curious as to how the receiver would immediately see what's going on. I would prefer to set all this up manually with the video part covered either by google hangouts or skype.
I'm a now 1 year high school graduate who is considering teaching online, and there seem to be a lot of platforms and companies that you can join as a teacher. Would having my own website be necessary if I wanted to join one of those companies or would that only be necessary if I wanted to be an independent teacher?
Hi Jack You said in your video that it is possible to run your own teaching website. Is this possible to find students with your own website and not signing with a company, for example ''VIPKIDS' etc? I am currently doing my TEFOL course, and will have my certificate to show. What is the link to your teaching website as I would love to learn more about starting your own teaching website rather than signing with a company.
+amandalynnesl lynn There are different ways to do this. You could verbally agree on a time and then send them an invoice. Or you could use an online calendar.
That´s probably the hardest part. It is a pain to charge at the beginning, I teach in Perú in my own online business and they take ages to subscribe and program their classes. I practically need to be like a very annoying mom sending mails, messages and facebook and insta stories to remined them that a new month has started.
Hi Jack...i don't have a university degree or batchlor, but I have an ECDL and english is my first language, do you thing I have a chance getting a job with an on line company like dada for example....i want to move to Valencia in Spain..thanks Trev
Hello Jack..I would like to ask is there a degree required to apply as online English teacher?I'm just a high school graduate but my English language skill is excellent.Please give me your thought.Thank you.
Hi. i dont have a degree and while some companies do have it as a requirement there are also a lot that will take you on if you have experience. The one thing i have found is that most do ask for a TEFL certificate.
how are you? my name is Earle, and I live in south carolina, I read that you live north carolina. Do you live off this? totally? I thought I would like to meet up with you one day. I live near the greenville sc. area. I teach tongues. I speak 19 tongues > And yes I'm an English Teacher on line. Kindly let me know how I can get in touch with you.... May God bless you!

Hello Kaoss, I'm actually looking for Native English teachers for our new online teaching platform. How can I contact you please?

What do you use instead of headset when speaking with your students?
if you use speakers, do you have problems with echo?
Thanks when do you have them pay you ? How soon before the class? & do you have some pay you monthly or weekly subscriptions options too? How do you choose pricing?
PayPal. As soon as possible. Yes. That’s a big topic but know that you can increase prices as demand increases.
Hi Jack, which countries would you suggest for me to advertise in to get students between 4 - 14 that want to learn or better their English?
Hello Jack!! Thanks for your information but I wanna ask you that Can one fully financially depends on this business??
Teah!Sure, but you need to continually encourage potential students each month. At the beginning you might hae a hard time but eventually you will have more students and they will start to recommend your courses! Good luck.
Hey Jack,

oops I never know if I post or not

Would having my own website be necessary if I wanted to join one of those companies or would that only be necessary if I wanted to be an independent teacher?
+Lindsey Aibaengbee There are ways to teach online independently without a website. However, a website helps you get more learners.
Okay, thank you very much!
Hello, I am from India and i would love to teach online..... I JUST LIKE TEACHING. that's all the qualification I have. What do you think i should do
+Nilgir X-ray lab Get my free guide: www.teachingeslonline.com/resources-teaching-english-online - and from there, email me any questions you have.
How do you do it with the legal part? Did you build a 'company?
Hi Jack
You said in your video that it is possible to run your own teaching website. Is this possible to find students with your own website and not signing with a company, for example ''VIPKIDS' etc? I am currently doing my TEFOL course, and will have my certificate to show. What is the link to your teaching website as I would love to learn more about starting your own teaching website rather than signing with a company.
Here's a good place to start: teachingeslonline.com/vidtraining - I go over how you can create your own thing.
How do you schedule and charge students before class?
+amandalynnesl lynn There are different ways to do this. You could verbally agree on a time and then send them an invoice. Or you could use an online calendar.
That´s probably the hardest part. It is a pain to charge at the beginning, I teach in Perú in my own online business and they take ages to subscribe and program their classes.

Not sure, to be honest. Valencia is amazing!
Hello Jack..I would like to ask is there a degree required to apply as online English teacher?I'm just a high school graduate but my English language skill is excellent.Please give me your thought.Thank you.
Hi. i dont have a degree and while some companies do have it as a requirement there are also a lot that will take you on if you have experience. The one thing i have found is that most do ask for a TEFL certificate.

Hi, I live in a small town: Summerland in BC Canada. I have advertised there for my Spanish lessons and I still have no students.
That window frame right behind is not good for your background. Should have moved a few feet to my left. Good luck
