is recruiting now!
This opportunity is perfect for people who are looking for some part-time work. The teaching timetable is flexible, and you can work from the comfort of your own home. Micro language is looking for experienced and qualified (TEFL, TESOL, CELTA) English teachers, or those willing to study for a TEFL certificate once they start work. Unqualified ESL teachers can gain a TEFL certificate from them at a reduced price while they are working.
Initially, all new teachers will complete a 3-6 month internship during which they will teach one-on-one classes. Pay begins at around $11 (£9) per hour. This hourly rate will increase over time based on performance, and, after a period of 3-6 months, you can begin teaching group classes if you pass the requisite assessment. Pay for 1 v N (up to 10 students) teaching begins at $16 (£13) and pay for group teaching begins at $18 (£15).
With ML you can become a group teacher after completing a 3-6 month internship period. Teaching group classes is a great way to expand your online teaching skill set and earn higher wages, too! If you are looking to progress your online teaching career, then this could be the right company for you.
For 1v1 teaching, you can open or close as many time slots as you want, so during essay writing season you can teach less without breaching your contract, while during quieter times of year you open more slots.
