In today’s generation, everything comes to an instant. Technology have evolved in different phases and still on the phase of discovering more to provide highly convenient resources for users. You can do anything online. It can happen on just a click of your fingertips. Some years ago, I was hesitant to apply for an online job because there wasn’t any good highspeed internet provider and it is too expensive to have an internet service at home, the monthly fee is way-up high. The fact that I don’t have any ESL teaching experience hinders my application. But when boredom strikes, a different perspective can change. I just came across a group of mommies in Facebook whose advocacy was to encourage homemakers to work at home. At first, I was trying to learn about Virtual Assistant since I have fifteen years work experience in the corporate world. Why I became an online ESL teacher? I think there is an inner passion in me to teach and share my talent and skills. I am a graduate of Bachelor of Arts – English major and took Methods of Teaching after I resigned from my administrative job but haven’t tried to take the licensure exam for teachers. How convenient is online learning? One thing I like most in learning online is, I finished the tasks for my TESOL certificate without the hassle of going to the training center. I thought, I will never be interested in teaching but as I get along with the students I used to teach, it is life changing. I want to grow as an educator in the field of online teacher. The certificate will boast my confidence to find a better chance in the future. The internet had filled-in the gaps in learning. Teaching could never be this convenient. In my short time of experience, I find these reasons as an advantage for a teacher: •Teacher already has the virtual classroom. •Interaction with young learners of different culture and learn from exchanges •The teacher already build rapport with her regular students. •Teaching materials are provided by the company. •Easy access to other forms of visual aid, like sending pictures to the student. Using TPR (total physical response) is also helpful to be able to teach the target word or vocabulary and instructions. •Teaching at your own time and schedule. •Stress free from the hassle of bustling traffic in going to work. It really saves time and money working at home. •Teachers’ training is being done online. •Promotions are much easier and with perks of incentives. The downside while teaching online: •The teacher can’t give homework to the student. •Student/teacher activities is limited to what the computer and system can provide in learning, no human interaction. •Slow internet, breakdown of computer/laptop, power outage (provide back-up to ensure a 100% attendance and performance in teaching) •System’s technical problem (though the company is amenable to its technical issues) There are a lot more convenience teaching online: •I use to have a cup of brewed coffee on my side and take a sip after each lesson. •You can do errands without the fear of being absent from work, flexible working hour. •I can do housework while waiting for my students. •And most of all, I get to spend a lot of time with my kids. Online teaching really benefits me as a homemaker, sharing my skills while earning extra for myself. And also, this job creates a new horizon to pursue.
