Creating Your Profile: Top 5 Tips

To make your profile stand out and represent you, we offer these 5 top tips: Write in the Language of Your Students  'Bubbly and articulate newly qualified English facilitator looking to take on board some new English-speaking wannabes, specifically interested in teaching starters and beginners! If you understand a word of this -- get in touch!' Writing in the language of the students is not essential and might not be possible for you. But, if you write in the language of your students, you will be able to attract lower-level students, and you will be able to create a connection with the student faster. Be Precise with Your Location 'Italy. Top half.'  Being more precise about where you can teach will enable students to know whether having lessons with you is feasible or not. You will get more appropriate inquiries. Don't give your full address (and it is not necessary to write or give out your phone number), simply give an indication o

7 Ways To Be An Even Greater English Teacher!

What can we do each day to make us even better English teachers? Here are our 7 recommendations... 1. Create Relevant Content Use and develop content which interests your student. How do you know what interests your students have? Ask them! Conversation leads us to understanding, and if we start a learning journey with a new student by getting to know them first, we will be able to give them more appropriate content and be a step closer to fulfilling their learning objectives. It is good practice not to assume everyone has the same learning objectives, and the same ways of reaching them. Find out what they are before you start teaching them! 2. Prepare Teachers infamously don't have tons of time at their disposal, and we are used to dong things on the fly, but hopefully doing them well. Prepare well when you can in areas you anticipate might be difficult for the student, such as certain grammar points, a specific English exam preparation, or the meaning of new vocabulary

Why Give Private Lessons?

There are lots of good reasons to work for a good English school. A good school can help you develop as a teacher, as well as enabling you to meet other teachers, and a constant stream of students. Also, being employed by an English gives you guidance as to what and how to teach, and  can provide stability in terms of regular teaching hours. There is no question that working for an English school can help teachers to develop and grow, and most people would agree that any English teacher should at least have the experience of having worked for a school. However, there may be a time, either before, during, or after working with an English school when you wish to be in charge of your own teaching. It may be because of a lack of teaching opportunities at local schools at that time. It may be that because schools are seasonal that your teaching hours are reduced at certain times of the year. It could be that you want to earn more money, or be more in control of your work life. Giving

Before this, there are a couple of simple steps to take: Linking a PayPal Account First, it is necessary to link a PayPal account to your profile.

learneng.eu is Open!

Our aim is to create an environment that allows teachers to freely advertise their skills and take control of their professional work life by deciding who, when, how, and for how much they teach. At the same time we are keen to facilitate English learning. As soon as possible we want to add two key features: an integrated calendar for booking an advanced ratings system which over time will enable learners to make more informed choices, while pushing up the potential earnings of teacher with higher ratings.  Again, we welcome all your suggestions on how we can improve.  Lastly, your safety is the most important thing . We recommend that the first time you meet a learner, it should be neutral place, such as a cafe or library. We strongly recommend not allowing unknown learners to your house for lessons, and certainly not going to their house. If in doubt, don't do the lesson.  Thanks for your support,  learneng.eu
