Description
This 120-TESOL for Online English Teachers Course is informed by research in applied linguistics, by my 5000+ lessons as an online language teacher (in English and French), and by the experience of dozens of other online language teachers who I have sat down with to provide counsel and guidance.
If you're getting started online, you've come to the right place.
If you're thinking about applying to an online language teaching platform to teach 1-on-1 and small group lessons then you've particularly come to the right place.
In fact, if you've already been teaching online and seek further professionalization, have extensive experience but are apprehensive about the transition from in-person to online teaching, or even if you teach a language other then English... you've come to the right place.
This course is packed with extensive content, including made-from-scratch materials, pedagogically-informed research articles and comprehensive videos. I believe that teacher development should be inclusive, accessible and affordable, which is why countless hours have been spent creating the ideal course for you to begin and thrive in the digital wilds of the virtual world.
Topics Include...
Generating bookings and retaining students
Getting paid and increasing income
Finding, using and creating materials

Much, much more!
I'll be with you every step of the way. This is everything that I was taught in my teacher training, along with everything that I wasn't taught. Save yourself the effort - learn and grow in this 120-hour TESOL program.
