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,

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...
