Teaching English and other subjects online is a great way to do something you love, meet people from all over the world and often make friends along the way. It also allows you to earn money as you are doing it. Imagine feeling completely free during work and not having a boss breathing down your neck, and not having to go into the office. It would be a wonderful feeling.

All you need to start teaching is a laptop and access to a webcam, microphone, and headphones and a skype account, or other free communication apps like WeChat.

You will need a quiet place to work and you will need to be patient and kind and have a postive attitude and enjoy talking with people.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of the learner, think how difficult it must be to learn something new like a new language or subject that they know nothing about. Then proceed from there.

For example why not try learning a language that you have always wanted to learn and see what kind of challenges you will face as you learn that new language.

Then you will feel how it feels to learn a new language and you will find yourself becoming a better teacher.
