Do you speak fluent Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French, German or any other foreign language? If you do, you could start an online-internet business teaching English to foreign speaking students in foreign countries and here in the U.S. Millions of people worldwide, as well as non speaking English people here in the states, who come from foreign countries and have access to a computer, could learn how to speak English from an online English class taught by you. All you need is a teaching plan, a computer, high speed internet and either a webcam or the use of a service such as oovoo.com which is a free online, two way conference where both parties can view each other via the oovoo software. You can also use Skype, the free online calling and person-to-person video service.
There are lots of foreign businessmen, college students, other professionals and just ordinary people who would like to learn how to speak English and would find a one on one class or a group learning class, via the internet, a convenient vehicle to learning how to speak English.
Make no mistake, this could become a very lucrative home based business that you could run from the confines of your home. Not to mention make some very good friendships and foreign business contacts.
A company named Eleutian Technology in Wyoming does just that. Eleutian Technology was started by Kent Holiday who taught English in Korea in the early 1990’s. Taking a risk and quitting a six figure job, Holiday started his company in 2006. The company maintains a roster of almost 300 teachers who are connected via the internet to more than 15,000 students in Korea who are anxious to learn the English language via the internet.
So if you have a background in a foreign language and the ability to use that background to teach foreign nationals how to speak English, this may be the work at home business for you.
