What is it like to teach English to adults online?

"Now that I am at the end of my first month teaching with EF, I can safely say that I have learnt a lot about personal time management, communication and cultural differences.

Whilst I do think the role has married up with my expectations, I am very surprised by how rewarding teaching can be. Being online, I did not expect to be able to form interpersonal relations with students so easily. It really is amazing how a shared interest for the English language can cross geographical and physical barriers.

Overall, teaching English online definitely isn’t your average job – I mean how many people can say that they have spoken with people from all six continents before their 11am coffee break?!"

This is Katie. She's been teaching adult learners English online since 2020.
