Getting ready to teach English

Several of my Chinese friends suggested that I should teach English to people in China.

I thought about it and decided to try it.











I joined Edufire as a tutor so that I could teach people online.

A site with so many possibilities, but it can't decide whether to be a community or a place for formal paid teaching.

So, after making many suggestions, and trying to change things, only to see very little happen, like many other teachers, I left and went my own way.








I can say that the Edufire experience taught me a lot abotu what is needed for successful online teaching. I developed and my Edufire Tutoring webpage to give some information about me and my teaching style. People seemed to like that.

Now I have put my material on my own site http://teachmetospeakenglish.com/
