In its simplest definition, ESL (English as a Second Language) is an English learning program designed for students whose native language is not English. The purpose of the ESL program is to help non-native speakers achieve a certain level of fluency in conversational English, grammar, reading, listening, comprehension, writing, and vocabulary.
A common misconception about ESL is that it caters only to children. This is not true. In fact many people enroll in ESL classes to pursue higher education in colleges or universities, find a job, or travel abroad.
As opposed to traditional classroom setting consisting of desks and rows, ESL classes with Engage Academy take place online on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone connected to the internet. We conduct classes using our proprietary web-based e-learning platform where teachers and students interact with each other and where the lessons take place.
This allows us to manage schedules and classes conveniently from a single, easy-to-use platform, resulting in greater efficiency.
Below are just some of the many reasons why you might consider working from home.
Working from home means you get to choose when and, often, where to work. As an ESL teacher at Engage Academy, you can open and close your schedule as you choose, so that you can attend to other priorities. This significant control over your work schedule is necessary in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Well, there are obvious benefits in having your workplace right inside your home. First of all, you won’t have to deal with rush hours, endless traffic, and a bunch of other woes that come with commuting to work daily. Second, you won’t have to make a mad dash to the office just get to your class on time. Thirdly, you save money you would otherwise spend on daily fares, food, etc.
Since you own your workplace, you won’t have to deal with restrictive dress codes. Just make sure you wear appropriate clothing during your class lessons.
Unlike working in an office, a home-based job allows you to modify and organize your workspace as you desire.
Depending on how you set your schedule, you may still have to spend around nine, or even more, hours working. However, without the need to travel, you can easily put time back into your day so you can have more to spend with your family.
Engage Academy offers competitive salaries. As you build your career with us, your per hour rate increases.
To motivate our Teachers to always perform at their absolute best, we have implemented a Performance Incentive Scheme. Having a perfect attendance, acquiring a 5-star rating from QA Reviews and Student Feedback will qualify our Teachers for cash incentives on top of their salary.
You have an opportunity to build your career with us. You can apply as a Trainer, Curriculum Development Officer, Assistant Head Teacher, Quality Assurance Analyst, Recruitment Officer or HR Officer as we are always on the lookout for great talents.
Work from home is not for everyone. Not everyone likes the idea of an overlapping work and family life and the struggles of separating the two, especially when both are lodged in the exact same place. However, for those who are able to successfully manage these two priorities, the benefits of work from home easily offset its disadvantages.
