If you are a frustrated unemployed teacher and your native language is English then you could start work today and teach English online. On the other hand you might be stuck in a dead in job or worse yet, being completely unable to find work at all, besides doing substitute teaching and being on call all the time. Wouldn't you like to be able to pick when and how you work? Indeed, to be completely safe from the threats of budget cuts and recession based job eliminations? Wouldn't you like to be able to give back and teach someone else valuable skills while making enough money to live the life you always dreamed of? You actually can, by getting started with online teaching.
All it takes is putting your existing degree to other use, and taking the step to find an agency to hook you up with international businessmen who want to learn English. After all, you believed the hype that teachers were going to be in demand, and the jobs were going to be there once you graduated, only to discover that the economic outlook is forcing school districts to reduce staff and not hire. If you huge student loan is not enough to panic you, then surely the 9% unemployment for new grads and the dismal cuts in teaching jobs is!
But there is a booming need for native English speaking teachers to fill a growing demand for online ESL (English as Second Language) jobs. Instead of hunting and hunting for a traditional teaching position that will be subject to the whims of politicians and subject to the winds of economic whimsy, you could start teaching corporate bigwigs in other countries how to speak, and understand the English language. These guys want a native speaker, not someone who learned from a text book. They want the insight that a native speaker will give them into the function and flow of the language. Anyone who is from a native English speaking nation has an international advantage, because English is the language of international business.
The sad part is, many ESL agencies are screaming out for teachers and you do not need a Master's degree in ESL to get in the door. You only require a degree as well as an ESL certificate or higher. On top of this, you just need to be willing to teach others in English through a total immersion technique that never even requires you to speak another language at all. The most important thing is being a native speaker is more than enough to start work and teaching English online to individuals who are seeking to learn the language. If you have ever wanted to teach someone and experience the thrill of one-to-one education, then ESL teaching over the internet is the perfect way to do that apart from working for an international college. Once more, you can make a lot of money doing this, from 30 to 60 dollars an hour and do it from any location, anywhere. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. Why wait, when you can reach your dreams by the end of the week and teach English online?
