Yes, I see it now. Odd I had a couple recently that had not shown with a new notification. That or I was drunk when I looked at them and forgot all about them.  Sorry about that Sprinter.
Looking at your question in the PM, it is a big one without much background on where you want to be or teach. Best way long term is teaching for yourself. I put some advice in the Colombia section as I live in Medellin now.
As for making it online, I must say that I like to live well and would not at present be able to do it just by teaching online. I have a couple Internet businesses I co-own that keep me diversified (which I think one needs to do these days) and provide better income. Plus I sacrificed ten years of my life before chucking it working my butt off to make a good penny that would give me some freedom before I was too old to enjoy having a life of adventure.
Point is that you really need to think along the line of multiple income streams and persevering as an entrepreneur to truly avoid the brick and mortar daily grind. Not that I sometimes don't miss it for ESL, just can't take dealing anymore with a fair percentage of the managers and their inept despotic personalities face to face daily. |
Sorry for the very late reply but this is some interesting feedback. I did meet one director who quit his job as a director at one Academy in BK Thailand about a year ago who has been teaching online as a teacher only.
He said that he makes 1/3 of the money but is twice as happy since all he does is every 3 months when his apartment contract finishes he either stays in that area or checks out a new small city. He loves the freedom and states that teaching online was much easier than teaching in person. He was also creating curriculums and doing a ton of stuff as a director before.
It would be interesting to hear more feedback on online teaching but yes, online teaching does have a ceiling it seems as for making money unless you happen to work on your own and have really good marketing/retainability. |
