 Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 2:26 pm Post subject: Asynchronous online teaching opportunities |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm a TESOL certified teacher, and I've been teaching ESL online for more than 8 years. I've taught both general and business English (I also have a certificate in Teaching Business English). Almost all of my teaching thus far has consisted of live one-to-one classes via Skype or telephone. I'd like to move into asynchronous teaching, involving such things as essay correcting or providing feedback on audio files.
I'd appreciate any information about asynchronous work opportunities, or about any companies that I might approach about this kind of work.
Thank you. |

While not strictly ESL, you might look into online tutoring services such as Smarthinking, NetTutor, or Brainfuse where, basically, you just give feedback on rough drafts of student papers so they can revise them before submitting them to their instructors for a grade.
Here's a review of one such service that I pulled from the Chronicle of Higher Education about six months ago:

| If you are looking for part-time, online academic work, consider Smarthinking, an online tutoring company. I worked for Smarthinking for three years. You don't lead classes. The format is asynchronous. College students submit their work for review (schools, usually community colleges, subscribe to the service). When you log on, you simply go to your queue and pick up whatever is at the top of the pile. You review and critique the work within thirty minutes, save, and hit send. Then you pick up the next assignment, etc. You can schedule shifts around your own schedule, 24/7, and work as many hours as you want. You never interact with students in real time or are responsible for leading classes. They pay isn't great--$11 or $12/hour--but you can earn extra 5-8K a year to supplement your brick-and-mortar income. |
