The Idiom Site is going to trial an online teaching system.
What will it do?
-
Schools and individual teachers will be able to give classes online.
-
Students can have classes from their computer, anywhere in the world.
How will it work?
- Schools
Schools will be able to run classes with their own endorsed teachers: on
the premises, or with the teachers giving classes from home.
The school will take a percentage of the payments and gain all-important
exposure.
From an admin panel, schools will be able to view and manage their
teachers' accounts.
- Individual Teachers
Teachers will be able to run classes online from home. They will take a
percentage of all payments.
From an admin panel, the teacher will be able to view and manage their
account.
- Students
Students will purchase credits and use them on a per minute basis.
How will the payments work?
- Payments made to the site will be shared between shared between us and
the teacher. Where a school is using its own teachers, the school will
take a further cut.
The exact percentages are presently under review.
What are the requirements?
- The teacher or school requires a high-speed Internet connection and a
webcam. The student should also have a high-speed connection. It is also highly recommended that the student has a webcam but it
is not required. Needless to say, a functioning microphone is also
necessary.
No extra software is required, only an Internet browser.
What shall I do now?
- Bookmark this site and contact me in the form above so that you don't miss out when the system
comes online.
Do you have experience in online teaching? Are you or your school
interested in teaching this way? Do you wish to invest time, expertise, or
money in the system ... or help in any way to make it a success?
Maybe you just want to learn more details ... please contact
