Online Teaching as Additional Income

Teaching English online is great, it’s both fun and rewarding. However, let’s be honest it’s not always the best-paid job in the world! The good news is that teaching online is a great way to make additional income. Whether you are a NET teacher looking to make some extra money, a teacher from a language school or if you want to make a few bucks while travelling. Working as an online teacher...

Our latest event, "How to Build Emotional Intelligence", from Hong Kong's paramount teacher trainers, was about marshmallows...

Taking the classic experiment from Stanford University as a guide, all the teachers were given a marshmallow and a choice: eat one now, or eat two later.  The secret is of course that the strategies you use to harness your feelings for an outcome can have a big effect on your life.  Eating one wo...

The practicality of the course has enabled me to run my classes efficiently, in terms of overall class management and students' learning capab...

Congratulations to our latest Hong Kong cohort of trainees (the October 2017 part-time c...

Train The Teacher has broken new ground as the first Trinity CertTESOL to engage trainees in teaching practice with both adults and young learners. Partnered with Rainbow Station School in Shanghai, our trainees had the opportunity to spend half their teaching practice teaching children aged from 5 to 8, applying what they had learnt about communicative language teaching and classroom management to the young learner classroom.

Train The Teacher has had the good fortune of an association with an educational franchise in Mainland China with a remit to identify teacher needs and to meet them.

Over the last few years we have introduced a training program focused on specific teacher challenges both as teaching professionals and language users. This has meant the development of a training manual and systems to ensure teachers develop in the most positive w...
