How to Apply to Online ESL Teacher?
Company Information for EnglishKey
EnglishKey Inc. is an innovative online education company. We teach English to non-English speakers worldwide using live video streaming. They hire part-time teachers for teaching English to our Latin American students.
Our instructors teach their classes live from their homes. Each class is an hour long and all teaching material is supplied by EK. EK trains new teachers online using our proprietary training methodology. Though we prefer prior teaching experience, especially ESL teaching experience, it’s not required. The hourly salary is negotiable and is based on relevant experience.
This part-time position may lead to a full-time job in 3 to 6 months. Our experienced instructors take up additional activities like mentoring students, training new instructors and improving our courseware. All these activities offer flexible working hours and additional compensation.
Our live classes usually have only two students and because of the size, it is easy to develop a teaching relationship and see the student progress. This makes teaching much more rewarding. You, as a teacher, will be able to acquire new skills based on current learning theory, add a steady source of income and never have to leave your home.
