English Language Tutor Online: International Experiences from Home
What is English Friend?
English Friend is an online English language learning program making a difference in the lives of Korean students.
The Language Program We Offer
Our online tutoring program is designed for the tutor to instruct students individually in a 1:1 setting during each class. Students range in ages and are at all different skill levels. Our program uses a character-based curriculum as the foundation, and adds personal tutors who assist students via online video conferencing on a daily basis. This program centers around encouraging life impacting friendships to develop between Christian students/graduates and students living in South Korea. Through our program, we hope to disciple a generation of Korean students equipped to change the world.
Applicant Requirements
• Tutors must be native English speakers and able to patiently communicate with South Korean students who speak English on a variety of levels.
• Tutors teach daily classes and are responsible for teaching the core content of the curriculum—vocabulary, grammar, conversation, and writing—in lessons online each day.
• Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and be a second-year college student or higher (approx. 60 credits or more). Applicants that have previous TESOL training and experience will also be considered even without college credits.
• Because the classes are taught online to students living in South Korea, you will need to have access to a computer with audio/video capabilities and a reliable high speed internet connection.
Class Times
Tutors located in the Eastern and Central time zones should be available to tutor during their mornings and/or evenings.
Tutors located in the Mountain and Pacific time zones should be available during their afternoon/evenings.
Tutor Compensation
Tutors are paid a monetary amount each month. A regular bonus and payment increases are offered based on tutor performance.
• Tutor wages, depending upon experience and qualifications are: $10.00/hr. start rate (depending on training and experience) with the ability to increase up to $17.00/hr.
Training
For all of our tutors, English Friend provides a downloadable training program specifically designed for EF by a certified TESOL teacher-trainer, on “How to Teach English as a Foreign Language.” This training process will take approximately two weeks to complete prior to beginning your first class.
