How to Teach English Online:
Becoming an effective one-to-one online English tutor
The DC Teacher Training Certificate in How to Teach English Online is a 12-hour fully online course aimed at teachers who have already completed their CELTA course. It aims to help teachers get started with teaching one-to-one classes online. Tutoring online is probably the fastest growing area of teaching English, but it can be confusing for new teachers to try and figure out how to decide what rates to charge, how to go about deciding what to teach or how to find students without the support of a school. This course, delivered by an experienced and qualified CELTA trainer, aims to help with these issues.
