an internet connection, paypal or similar to accept payment, computer with camera and microphone, a student, yourself and lesson plans... or not, depending on how little you care.
what does it matter if anywhere is doing it? just do it yourself from home.

TWO computers, decent HD camera and hi-quality speakers, at least 3.5 mb internet, reliable electricity supply, one PC hidden, where you can find answers to the inevitable/ unanswerable questions.
Looking like Barbie/ Ken helps.
Willingness to work odd hours and a QUIET environment with a door that no idiot walks through at inopportune times.
Willingness to suffer fools gladly (but hey, we're on 440, so that's a given, right?)

I have a buddy here who does it. There are no odd hours for him because he is teaching Chinese kids and it's all based on Beijing time which is 1 hour ahead.
He just uses a single computer, a laptop. It needs a camera and you need a good head-set with mic. The trick here is that you need very stable internet. He is going through ezcom. I don't know which plan but it's one of their mid-range plans on offer.
He works about 20 hours a week and pulls in 2 grand a month, no wp bs. Says he could schedule more but he is content atm as this leave plenty of time for wine, women and song.
To my knowledge he hasn't had to suffer a fool as of yet. That is until he views this thread and suffers one of the blubbery SA variety.

Cheers for the info Vic vega
I should have a decent laptop , camera headset etc by then ... FOR sure I will have a place that is quite enough to do lesson BUT I'm not so sure the Internet will be up to standards as my place is in a small provincial town

Don't mention it. Just make sure to steer clear of that vladimir chap. He may sound experienced but that's just because over the years he has worked at 95.8% of the bottom-barrel tefl-jobber factory schools in PP.Greentrees wrote:Cheers for the info Vic vega
And believe me that wasn't by choice, or as part of some industry wide research he was collating for a comprehensive treatise on the subject.
But he does (and will make abundantly clear to anyone within earshot) have a clean CRC, so he's got that going for him as the lone, sole, feather in his professional cap.

I think vic's friend is the only guy in Cambodia who ever had to appoint himself as Head Teacher, and then got pulled in by the Khmer CO and told ' there is no such position as 'Head Teacher.'
Lotsa stories from people like Sue at al, decent people who had the misfortune to work with the dwarf.
One day he was bitching about the Cambodian govt for stealing his land, leaving for greener and wetter shores, telling any poor bastard he could tell (if he stood on a stool) how shitty Cambodia was. Then every place he applied to in the UK told him to fuck off, perhaps a fake CELTA? The next he was working for them. Great ethics! But seriously, what can one expect?
Poor attempt with 2 socks, btw.

Say what you like about our favourite bacon sarnie, but he's the funniest poster in K440.
My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.
