I have been teaching with Open English for almost a year now. They offer different pay rates depending on the time of day you teach. Weekends pay the most regardless of what time of the day they are. This is a very low demanding company. You are assigned 25 minute classes from 1 - 4 students. You do not have to prepare the lesson beforehand. 2 minutes before you start the class you are given a link to download the PDF lesson and also the info of the students in that class. My only complain is that you dont have regular students. Im not quite sure how they assign you students but you almost never have the same students which can be frustrating since you never really help a student progress. I usually earn $1,000 - $1,400 a month teaching 20 - 30 hours a month. Overall its an easy job that gives you decent pay. It's my second source of income and I'm happy with having a flexible schedule and virtually no demands as a teacher.
Hi Israel, your post is very helpful. Just curious, what platform does Open English use?
Open English uses Zoom to teach. They give all the material so all you would have to do is share your screen and use the Zoom tools to teach the class.
I just completed the online application and found it easy and fast, if you have your documents and credentials uploaded on your laptop or pc. I guess I will see what happens next!
So, how did it go, Helen? I´m interested in this company even though it pays less than most. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
According to their online application form, they ask if you can legally work in the US. This should be part of the info on The List.
Thanks for the info... that is very relevant!
