Apply Now and Start your Teach Learn Earn Journey with 51Talk.
Applying as an online teacher at 51Talk is not hard but also not easy.
If you are applying to give online teaching a try, at least do some preparation. Be well informed and set your expectations right.
Many teachers who try out are only looking for monetary gain. Of course, that is the reason why you must apply for a job but consider that money is not everything.
So what should you expect? Teaching is not a piece of cake. You will have to undergo to a lot of training, adjustment for yourself and schedules and even you will have to sacrifice your favorite evening series. But it is also rewarding. It is worth it.
Prepare your mind for action
Prepare your mind for these adjustments. Prepare your self to do multi-tasking.
Teaching is an intellectual job so your mind should be relaxed. Teaching also entails patient. If you are the type that glares and shouts at kids, then I guess online teaching will be a good training ground to tame that character.
Prepare your place of work
Physical preparation is a necessity. Before applying decide to be successful in acquiring an online job no matter how many times you have to try. Apply to as many online teaching platforms as you can. With that in mind, you don't hold back from preparing your place of work.
Be mindful that you will be doing a video class which means your video background matters. 51Talk provides a design for a tarpaulin background. But if you're applying to another online platform a plain background will do. Always set your background on the wall. This avoids other members of the family from passing behind while you are conducting your class or to keep home clatters off camera.
Technical Preparation
Make sure you know your desktop or laptop. Know basic computer troubleshooting and internet error troubleshooting. Including basic setup for your headset.
Have several browsers installed on your computer. Know basic browser navigation and settings.
Rehearse your typing skills. Make sure you memorized your keyboard enough to be able to type even without looking at your letter keys. There are free typing softwares online. Take time to practice.
As for internet requirement, you must have at least 2mbps. Don't try applying if you don't. You'll just be wasting your time.
Evaluate your Skills
Check if your English skills are intact or else do a little review. Head over to https://www.englishcentral.com and have your pronunciation analyzed. An important fact, 51Talk students use the British pronunciation.
