What is Teacher-Student.com |
|
Teacher-Student.com is an English learner/native English teacher
matching website.
Teacher-Student.com provides very detailed personal profiles
of all its native English teachers in order to offer potential students
a wide variety of styles, materials and methods from which to choose
and the convenience of selecting lessons especially suited to their
individual needs.
|
Win-Win situation |
|
After the free registration process, teachers can dispense
with the tasks of seeking out new students, posting want ads, and negotiating
lesson fees. Also, upon registration teachers will be able to select
the kinds of students they prefer to teach(i.e. adults and/or children,
men and/or women) and the locations of their lessons. In addition, teachers
may change their schedules anytime without prior notice. Compared
with the EIKAIWA Schools, teachers will be given shorter contracts and
much more freedom to excercise their own styles and techniques. Teacher-Student.com
does not receive a percentage of your lesson fee. All company revenue
is gained from the student introductory fee. Therefore, teachers can
maximize their income and, after setting their initial registration
cost, students only pay their teachers directly.

Teacher-Student
processes registration, makes the teacher's profile available to
potential students online, then activates teacher password to edit
it. |
|
|
|
|
Potential student chooses teacher
online and requests a trial lesson. If the student can not find
an instructor who meets their needs, he or she simply leaves it
up to us. |
|
|
|
|
Teacher-Student
contacts the teacher about the potential student and arranges an
introductory meeting. Afterward, the teacher, student and an English-speaking
Teacher-Student representative meet. Using his or her own materials,
the instructor conducts a 15-20 minute free trial lesson. Therefore,
it is necessary to have chosen a textbook deemed suitable for the
student beforehand. If the student selects you as his or her teacher,
and the textbook was found to be unsuitable, please choose a more
appropriate one before lessons commence. |
|
|
|
|
Following
the trial lesson, the Teacher-Student representatives will advise
the student on home study. (All Teacher-Student instructors are
qualified language instructors) |
|
|
|
|
After the 3-day period, if both
the teacher and student agree, Teacher-Student will schedule the
first lesson. During this time, Teacher-Student will ensure that
both parties' contact information is exchanged.
|
|
|
|
|
Lessons
commence soon afterward. Teachers fee will be paid directly by the
student following each lesson. |
