I just went through and was approved to start teaching students in China, english via the internet...not bad for $22 a hour....the times are usually from 4:30-6:30 though- and a time commitment of I believe 7.5 hours a week - I start next week....I'm nervous but excited...I figured it would be much more profitable than turking during those hours.

I used to do that. It was horrible. The students don't like to talk. The lesson plans are horrendous. I felt like a robot, just reading a script.

do they provide you with a curriculum. if you have to make your own and you've never taught language $22 an hour is pretty low but if everything is provided and you just have to walk them through it. it should be ezpz

This sounds too :tinfoil: to be true but I also can't catch more than that at a time. I let it sit while I did both a Prolific and a MTurk study and didn't catch any more, did one and immediately caught another. :thinking:

Ditto. I've been noticing the same thing.. Can't get more than 3 and then it sits until I start working on the first one. But that's only the Webbies. All the other three just roll on in when they are up.

We have two Chinese students living with us - can confirm - they don't like to talk. It's like pulling teeth. :disapprove:

Don't be nervous! Teaching English can be a fun and rewarding experience. I really enjoyed the time I spent teaching conversational English to Japanese students at a Jukyu. This was way back when Titanic was in the theaters. I spent hours teaching them how to say Leonardo DiCaprio correctly, lol!
