Provide English
Instruction via the Internet to Foreign Students
Idapted is a respected, international company that
provides one on one English instruction, live over the Internet,
to students around the world, helping them improve their speaking
and listening skills. The majority of the students are
young professionals and employees of foreign companies, many of
whom want to one day live and or work in the U.S., Britain or
Canada. Idapted is currently in search of instructors
to join their team.
The good news is that instructors do not have to
speak a language other than English. All
instruction takes place in English and consists of
guiding students through a series of exercises designed
to help them practice their spoken English. Many
of these students will never have had the opportunity to
speak with a native English speaker before, but the
majority have a working knowledge of English as taught
in general education institutions. Teaching
experience is helpful when applying as an instructor,
but it is not required. All instructors work from
home, are hired
on a contractor basis and may work as many hours as they
choose (although at least one 30 minutes session per 30
days is required).
Applying as an instructor is a three-step
process. The first step is the application itself, which
includes a typing test and a voice interview via phone. If
your application passes review, you will begin the certification
process; this involves six interaction modules within a 7-day
period. After the modules comes a "qualifying
interaction" with a student. If you pass this test,
then you are ready to work.
Anyone age 18 or older from the 48 contiguous
states may apply (those in Hawaii and Alaska may not apply because
of time zone issues), but the company is looking for people who
are comfortable dealing with foreign cultures, are tolerant of
different view points, are professional and have high ethical
standards, are patient and listen well, feel comfortable giving
constructive criticism (and receiving it) and have a good working
knowledge of English grammar and a strong vocabulary.
There are no fees to apply with Idapted, and all
training is free. Go to www.idapted.com to find out more
