6 Reasons to Become an Online English Teacherpreneur

Are you an experienced English teacher? Do you wake up daily, prepare lessons, and head to the institution where you work? You're still passionate about what you do, but something feels off. You don't want to work for someone else anymore. You feel the need to work for yourself. Or you've just completed a TEFL/TESOL course and have become a new teacher at an online school or tutoring company. You've long wanted to teach English, but the institution where you work is different from what you imagined. You crave freedom.

6 Reasons to Become an Online English Teacherpreneur

Why should you become a teacherpreneur? Here are the reasons:

All types of ESL English teachers are in high demand.

There are potential students all over the world, from all walks of life, who want to learn English and have different goals. That means you'll find a match between what you enjoy and what your students want to achieve.

As an independent English teacher, you are your boss.

You can teach who, what, how, where, and when. Not only can you choose the location and age group of your ESL teaching, but you also have the freedom to set your rates, curriculum, and teaching location (whether it's at home, a cafe, or an Airbnb while you travel!).

You can feel free to unleash your potential as a teacher.

Of course, as a freelancer, your preferences, style, and personality can infuse your teaching materials, methods, and processes, which is often not possible when working for someone else.

As an independent ESL teacher, you can always have fun and embrace change.

Freelance teaching jobs are incredibly flexible; they keep you constantly challenged and learning new things. In the morning, you might teach English to kids. In the afternoon, you might lead a group of marketing professionals! Variety is the spice of freelancer life.

You can make time for yourself 

As the decision-maker as a freelancer, you're the one who sets your daily schedule, which means you now have more time and opportunities for yourself. The key is to stay organized and establish rules from the start. When you work, take breaks, and so on.

You will always feel accepted and included in the ESL freelancer community.

Schools, institutions, and other English-based educational organizations that employ teachers may have strict requirements, such as a bachelor's degree and teaching experience, or even that you're a native speaker or have specific citizenship. By becoming a freelancer, on the other hand, you don't need to meet standard job qualifications. Instead, you can highlight your unique background and skills and chart your career path.

CONCLUSION

Finally, as a member of the ESL freelancer community, you'll find acceptance and inclusion, unburdened by conventional job qualifications. In essence, the life of a teacherpreneur is a pathway to not only professional fulfillment but also personal growth and empowerment.
