From “I Can’t Do It” to “Let’s Try Again”

Image
  There are days when teaching English online feels less like a profession and more like a test of endurance. The internet suddenly disappears. A student doesn’t show up. The lesson you carefully prepared doesn’t go as planned. Your microphone stops working five minutes before class. A student struggles with something you thought would be easy. You finish one lesson only to realize you have several more waiting. And sometimes, after staring at the screen for hours, a quiet thought appears: “I can’t do it anymore.” The photograph above captures that feeling perfectly. A pair of scissors is cutting through the words “I can’t do it,” leaving us with an unfinished sentence. But perhaps that is exactly where the story changes. Because sometimes, “I can’t do it” is not the end of the sentence. Maybe it is simply the moment before we say: “I can’t do it… yet.” To the teacher waking up early for students on the other side of the world. To the teacher staying awake late becaus...

Is Online English Teaching Really Profitable? The Truth Behind the Flexible Career

Image
     Being an online English teacher can be profitable, but it is not the easy or wealthy job that many people imagine. From the outside, it may look like a comfortable career where you simply sit in front of a computer, teach for a few hours, and get paid in dollars. The reality is much more complicated. Online teaching can provide a decent and sustainable income, but it requires teaching skills, discipline, patience, time management, and, especially for private teachers, business skills.      I have been teaching English online for more than eight years, and my experience has allowed me to see both sides of this career. One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. Teachers can work with students from different countries and time zones without commuting to a physical school. They can also choose when they want to work, depending on their availability. For someone who needs to balance work with family responsibilities or other commitments, this flexibility...

Why Teaching English Online Can Change Your Life

Image
  When I first heard about teaching English online , I wasn’t sure if it was a real career or just a side hustle . But once I gave it a try, I discovered something life-changing: the chance to connect with students around the world, create meaningful lessons, and earn an income, all from the comfort of my own home.  If you’ve ever dreamed of teaching but weren’t sure where to start, this path might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Getting started doesn’t require perfection. A degree or a TEFL/TESOL certificate will definitely give you an edge, but what matters most is your passion to help others communicate and grow.  Even if you don’t have years of classroom experience, your willingness to learn and share will take you far. Of course, having the right tools is important too. A stable internet connection, a reliable computer, and a headset with clear audio can transform your small corner of the world into a global classroom . Choose your own hours and balance...

May Update: New Pricing for Private English Lessons

Hello dear students, parents, and supporters, As we welcome the month of May, I’d like to share some important updates regarding the pricing of my private English lessons for learners of all ages. After careful thought and consideration, I’ve made a necessary adjustment to the lesson fees. **Please note that this new pricing applies only to new students who enroll starting May 2025 . All existing students who enrolled before this month will continue to enjoy the old pricing structure. The updated rates for new students are as follows: US$15 per session CA$20 per session This change comes in response to various challenges faced by many independent educators like myself, including global inflation, international transfer fees, and increasing platform and operational costs. I’ve done my best to maintain affordable rates, but these adjustments are essential to sustain the quality of teaching, tools, and resources I provide. To show my appreciation, I’m happy to share that the “Buy 10...
