Online TEFL Job in Canada

Date posted:2016-08-29 | Writer: Newcollege Tutor | Email: [email protected]

Newcollege Tutor is a social enterprise based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and founded by tutors at the University of Alberta. We value our success by offering students the best opportunity available at reaching their full potential.

No experience is required to become a tutor and in fact most of the tutors listed on our website started off with none whatsoever.  This is an ideal opportunity for TEFL graduates starting out on their career or for those with experience. As long as you know the subject you are teaching and you have the patience to teach it you will be successful in instructing students. Most of the nervousness you might have about teaching will go away after the first session. A lot of teachers don’t feel qualified when in reality they will have already taken part in some teaching activity in the past. You may have taught a sibling, or you might have helped another student in one of your classes understand a problem. Teaching is something almost everyone of us has done at one time or another.

BENEFITS:

•             Able to work from anywhere through Skype

•             Valuable experience in teaching

•             Low commission rate

•             Freedom to work independently with students

REQUIREMENTS:

•             Must have at least some post-secondary education, such as TEFL or TESOL

•             Have at least satisfactory standing in school

•             Be over 18 years of age by the time of applying

•             Pass a criminal record check through an independent third party $27

•             Complete a professional photo session for your profile picture $10

(Referral program: Refer three friends to join Newcollege Tutor and we will return the above cost)

We are looking for:

•             Leadership ability

•             High communication skills

•             Have a record of showing empathy or kindness by volunteering in your community or working one-on-one with others
