Do any of you do any online tutoring? I'm sure this topic was discussed previously, but a quick search didn't turn up anything related and I'm too tired to do a lengthy search right now.

I've heard there is a market for online English lessons/tutorials. Anyone have firsthand (or secondhand) knowledge?

I used to work online and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've heard that there is a huge demand for it since people have much less time and energy to attend "normal" lessons. I'm even thinking of trying it again. However, I used to only teach online and missed the "real" human contact after a while. So, I'd say, if you had the opportunity and like teaching from a computer screen, go for it.

I would like to teach online but I can't seem to find a job.

Miss beth, did you just tutor students one-on-one or did you have groups? What kinds of lessons did you plan for them? Did you use any special software?

Thanks. Smile
