I plan to become an English teacher and would love to start with some remote experience. Are there opportunities for remote English teaching jobs specifically for working with high school students? How can I apply for these positions?
There are several platforms that facilitate remote English teaching for high school students. Educational service companies such as Varsity Tutors and Chegg Tutors are good places to begin your search. These companies hire remote teachers to offer tutorial services to students, including English lessons.
To apply, you typically need to go to the company's website and locate their "careers" or "tutors" section. The process usually involves filling out an application and sometimes providing a resume or CV, so ensure those are up-to-date and show your passion for teaching English. Qualifications and requirements vary, but being enrolled or having a degree in education or a related field is typically preferred.
Another option could be the online teaching community called TeachAway. This platform is a marketplace for educators, and they often have openings for online English teachers. Again, you apply directly on their website.
Finally, LinkedIn is also an effective platform for job hunting. Not only can you connect with other educators and learn more about their experiences, but you can also use the job search function to filter for remote, English teaching positions.
Remember to consider the time zone differences if you're teaching remotely, as many of your students may be operating on different schedules. Aim to showcase any past tutoring or teaching experience you have in your applications as this could give you an advantage in the selection process. Good luck with your job search!
