I haven't done much with them yet - but I like Samespeak better.

Thanks for your feedback, I will look into Samespeak.

Samespeak looks interesting. I'll check them out too. Samespeak: English with a personal coach

They don't charge you for being a tutor, correct?

Any of you done either language spirit or samespeak? I am interested in both. When are the busy times? I have never done online tutoring. I have done face to face for Koreans a few years back when I was teaching overseas. I know Samespeak provides lessons, does Language Spirit? Thanks for any help you can give me! I am laid off from my job and I am looking to start one of these companies ASAP! Thanks!

Dawn,

You might get more responses from people in the Online Tutoring folder. I know this folder is busier, but most of the people with experience with tutoring/teaching head to the Online Tutoring area. I don't have experience with those particular companies, or I'd help.

Oh, I just took a look at the sites, and it appears that anyone can sign up. This means that you put your info on the site and hope that students choose you. It's all hit or miss. With the companies that have classes and students set for you, you might have to go through a process similar to the one you went through when you taught overseas. There will be an interview, and you might have to complete a mock session/training to get hired. Many of these companies only pay monthly. The company reps will value your experience teaching ESL.
