Hi, I’m Kathryn Rucker. I have interviewed with other English teaching platforms and I would say that Magic Ears had the best process.

As a non-native English speaker, you’ve probably exhausted all your options when it comes to finding a company to teach for. You’re ready to start teaching English online, but so frustrated with company after company requiring “native English speaker” as a prerequisite. Today, I’m here to tell you that a) I see you! and b) there are still some options out there.

Teaching English online has helped me to work from home, create an income, and build my own business. After teaching English online for three years, I have learned a few things that I wish I had known when I was starting.

It’s 2020 and teaching English online has never been easier. But with the ever-developing digital space now offering tools such as apps and online streaming services, we as online English teachers must be adaptable and ready to explore new paths to reach our students.

An online English teaching job ad catches your eye. You click the "Apply" button, fill out the application form, and upload your headshot. Then, just when you think you are done, you see that it requires your self-introduction video and realize you don't have one yet.

If you have ever been stuck in this kind of situation, don't panic! We're here to help you craft an English teacher introduction video that will dazzle not only your potential employers, but also your future students!

If you are looking to work as an online English tutor but wondering where to start, we'll guide you through the process step-by-step. Breaking into this fast-growing field is actually easier than you think.

You've made it past the interview, the demo and all the paperwork that comes with it. Phew. However, crickets are the only sound you hear because you are not getting any students signing up for your classes. A week turns to two, then three, and before you know it, two months have passed and you have taught five lessons at best. This is NOT what you signed up for. How much longer can you keep going like this?

Getting that coveted first booking is one of the biggest challenges teachers face when beginning a career teaching online.
