Idea for a tutor: learning by Skype
Individual training has long proven its effectiveness for all disciplines. And when studying English, one-on-one work with a tutor is a powerful incentive and guarantee of fast mastering of a non-native language. Therefore, the work of repeaters of the English language is so in demand.
But the need to go somewhere and the high cost of classes in firms that rent premises stop many students. And not all teachers are ready to take at home. Thanks to this, learning English via Skype was liked by all participants in the process.
No tiresome trips – conveniently located where there is Internet (at home, on the couch, at work, instead of lunch, just on the road, if you have a minute, in general – at any time and place …);
no time limits – there is no need to coordinate your schedule and adjust to the schedule of classes at the language learning center, you do not have to adjust to the “normal” rhythm of life, you can learn even at night if your mentor is from a different time zone, in general – you do not need to take into account . Simply choose a convenient time for two people – a teacher and a student, and enjoy the process of conquering the English language;
you can choose the best – a native speaker, a fashionable teacher from the capital or from abroad in general, choose any tutor, spoken or literary English and go ahead! The majority of people have Internet and Skype, so you can choose such a specialist, methodology, professionalism, charisma and teaching style is most suitable for a particular person;
saving without loss of quality – so the English tutor on Skype does not have to pay money to intermediaries, works for himself, does not rent a special room for training, does not spend money on the road, etc., his classes are much cheaper than any other methods of individual training.
A continuous stream of pleasure – Skype allows the teacher to work with students in a continuous stream, at least 24 hours a day. He himself regulates the intensity, the number of students per day, etc .;
every minute makes money – every moment you can use to start and develop your mini-business, find new clients-students by posting your offer of services on freelance websites or special tutoring exchanges;
no to visitors – sitting in a comfortable chair you can receive crowds of visitors and all this with the help of video broadcasts, audio compositions and simple chat. That is – no invasion of personal space and the full load of exciting English lessons;
sheer savings – in any backwater you can already spend the Internet. There is no need to rent a room, to work at a company that will search for students for lessons, Skype is a conditional free program. In general, it is economical, if not cool, almost zero investment in a successful home business “English for All”;
huge opportunities – when conducting classes on Skype, you can use all the possibilities, ranging from writing in a chat, transferring files, broadcasting movies and connecting new people to the chat. You can also see the student’s desktop, hear his pronunciation and actively work with him eye to eye.
All described only a part of the benefits that work on the network. But the best idea can stay in dreams without a business plan. How to start earning, teaching English in Skype?
Think about how many students you can take to begin with, what age category and level of language skills. Naturally, at least tentatively come up with what each category of clients can be carried away with – your every lesson should be delayed so that the student would like to come again and again, and the growth of his knowledge would be noticeable. Decide on the desired cost per hour of work.
Proceeding from this, write a “catchy” ad and place it both online and in real. Do not overlook the social networks, special exchanges for tutors, service catalogs and just ad sites of your city and even the country.
Next – work for your pleasure. Money can be received on an electronic wallet or just get on the card. Do not forget to use chat, listen and use video broadcasting. The exchange of training files and the demonstration of the desktop are very convenient features of Skype, allowing you to observe what the student is doing on the other side of the screen. You can watch movies with the student in English, listen to the original music.
