Look for teachers that have been successful in ESL for some time and are giving advice or putting out videos to try to help other online ESL teachers. I find this is the best platform to link up with successful teachers. To find the right company for you, start networking with teachers in Linkedin. Look for the big players in the industries with money, some of them are helping teachers become successful and retain them.
As a matter of fact, they don’t care about you and the other companies are nickeling and diming the heck out of us. I will share with you 3 different strategies for finding the perfect mentor so that you can become a successful online ESL teacher from anywhere.ġ# Find an Online ESL company that has training and mentoring program I know what you are thinking, some online ESL companies are trying to invest money into helping their teachers improve? I couldn’t believe it either because based on my experience, most of these companies it is sink or swim. I know you’re thinking how can I get a mentor? How can I find one that is right for me? How can I find one that has time to mentor me because they are so busy already?
With this in mind, a mentor will reduce the time needed thus getting you up to speed quickly. Based on my experience you need about 1,250 class hours of teaching ESL online to tweak your classes so you have the building blocks to be successful. In reality, what you should be doing is teaching. STOP! This is definitely the wrong way to go. These teachers will want you to create a website, find students or build a teaching business online. When looking for a mentor online you will soon see teachers trying to sell you their products. This is the best path to success and mentors have a vested interest because it is their reputations on the line. These companies are just in it to make a quick buck and don’t be fooled into thinking that they truly care if you're successful or not.įirst of all, The fastest way to become a successful online ESL teacher from home is to learn from other teachers that have already done it. Nevertheless, some experienced ESL teachers think that getting another certificate or degree will hone their skills to teach ESL online, but for the majority of teachers, it will be a waste of time and money. I have seen this a thousand times on the Facebook forums. That’s right, I said it, “You don’t need another TESOL Certificate to be successful teaching ESL online you need a mentor”.
