Greetings!
There are no articles on this topic on my blog yet. It will be about whether it is possible to work as a teacher on the Internet. What should a teacher do on the Internet? That is, let's talk about the work for the teacher online.
The teacher is a way of life. Or a diagnosis former teachers can not be. And my 18.5 years of work as a teacher left a mark on my life. Both in my life and in the lives of my students.
But who said that a teacher can and should work only at school? Or in another institution where the salary is paid by the Ministry of Education?
They say that one of the leaders of the former Soviet Union, either Stalin or Khrushchev, said that people of two professions would never die of hunger, they would feed themselves: doctors and teachers. I don’t know if any of them really said this and what they meant. But now it seems more and more that teachers' salaries are calculated on the basis of this statement.
But this is already a type of politics. We won't go there.
Dear fellow teacher! Everything is solved. "Don't cry, don't be afraid, don't ask..." Go to the Internet. Now it is increasingly turning into a state without borders for those who teach and those who study.
I'm starting now new project. The goal of the project is to help your fellow teachers get online.
My mission in this project is to help an ordinary teacher find a “second wind” in his profession in order to stop depending on circumstances, gain confidence in the future and successfully earn on his knowledge and skills.
And for starters, I compiled a special report "", which shows 7 models of Internet access for a teacher, designed for different levels of qualification and employment, different technical capabilities. All from practice, since I myself have already gone through the Internet far and wide.
How did this project start?
In principle, such plans have been around for a long time. But, as they say, they hovered in the air, not turning into anything real. Works in bulk and in already existing projects.
But a month and a half ago, at the end of August, an event happened. It was a conversation with a former colleague. I did not ask permission to publish the name, so I will spell her name and patronymic S.P.
S.P. - teacher primary school with extensive experience and the first qualification category. Clever, very responsible, diligent. She works in a small school as an elementary school teacher.
The school is small. But it has big problems. Including - the problem of school closure as part of the general trend of "optimization" of the network of educational institutions. That is, the sword of Damocles hangs. But until recently, it just hung around without creating a real threat.
But now he staggered menacingly. It's about to fall, crippling many. The reason was a public careless expression of dissatisfaction with the existing state of affairs of one of the teachers. I won't go into details, of course.
The result is an acute reaction from the higher authorities of education. A bunch of showdowns, checks and a real threat of closing the school for the next academic year.
The teachers are shocked. What if the school is really closed? Where to go? To a collective farm (we still have collective farms, more precisely, KSUPs)? Or work somewhere on the road, far from home?
In general, someone will be able to find a job in their specialty or master another. And someone is not.
Here's to S.P. Neither the first nor the second option will work. In particular, she will not be able to leave home and family for the whole day, there are circumstances. And transport problem not resolved.
This is where it's time to remember about working for a teacher online. But the vast majority of teachers do not know what and how to do a teacher on the Internet.
We talked with S.P. And even though she sees my example, and knows that I can and should be trusted, her brain hardly perceives information about the possibility of working and earning money from home.
Well, how is it? In 2-3 months, reach your school salary without leaving your home? Yes, a person who has been “going to work” all his life cannot be believed. Moreover, teachers are conservative people.
And if someone else was talking to her about this, and not me, she would not even listen. I would just brush it off like an annoying fly. And would continue to be nervous, plunging into depression.
But me S.P. believes. And now we have agreed: if anything, if it ripens, come to me. There is a way out, and there is absolutely nothing to panic.
What "if what" can be more when you urgently need the Internet?
This is the “if anything” that S.P.’s daughter already has. Clever beauty. A very young girl, not yet married. She graduated from a pedagogical college, works on an after-school program. Trips by car for 7 km, sessions at the correspondence course at the university eat up the lion's share of the salary.
I put aside the money for a tourist trip for the entire last academic year, I wanted to relax in the summer. Did not work out. The car broke down, all the money was spent on repairs. Otherwise, after all, there will be nothing to go to work! Parents could not help, father without work. Now he goes to work again, earns money to maintain the car.
She definitely needs to get on the Internet urgently. At least in the evenings, devoting 2-3 hours a day, earn yourself a normal rest.
I can’t keep silent about maternity teachers.
Here I will give an example not even of a maternity teacher, but of a pediatrician. which, nevertheless, does educational activities online. While on someone else's project, since the son of 1.5 years old does not really let him turn around. But now he is preparing his own educational project.
And here I do not need to hide behind the initials. It's about about one of my daughters, Elena, who maintains the website of information businessman Mikhail Gavrilov on the "children's and mother's" theme agushkin.ru.
Moreover, he writes articles on his own behalf and with his signature. If you are not too lazy to go to the site, then in all articles on pediatrics and in some on obstetrics you will see the conclusion at the end of the article: “Oh ... a practicing pediatrician and twice mother Elena Borisova-Tsarenok told you.”
Lena went on her second decree on December 24, 2015. New Year with the family they met with us, the parents. Having met the New Year, on January 1, 2016, we sat down at my computer to open her electronic wallets. My husband came running: what are you doing, why, who will transfer money to her there, is it paid or free?
The money appeared in early February, as soon as the holidays were over. And slowly flowed in a thin stream.
At the end of March, Lena had a son. And on June 6, I had a conversation at home. I don’t remember the specific reason, but Lena said the following:
- If I need a million or two (then we had that kind of money, it's 50-100 dollars), then I won't bother. I'll go to the computer and earn money!
As they say, no comment. The person gained confidence that in any situation she and her children would not be left without a piece of bread.
The next conversation took place in November 2016, when my other daughter's child fell ill and she was in danger of losing her job. Again I quote Elena's words on this subject:
- And I think that before school I will survive all Vanya's tears-snot at home, working on the Internet. When I started, of course, I believed that I would earn money, but I thought of it as a part-time job. Now I see that getting up to my salary in the clinic and above is not a problem, it is quite possible.
How are you? I was happy to listen. After all, it is clear that the iron chain that binds to work, the employer, the level of wages is broken. There are no boundaries or restrictions. It would be the desire and strength to work!
By the way, out of my 5 children, three already work on the Internet. Everyone is doing different types activities from those listed in this . Everything works out.
The eldest daughter Larisa set aside 156 thousand Russian rubles earned on the Internet for summer holidays with her family (husband and two sons). Enough was enough. But no one believed either.
When she started with little Matvey in her arms, her husband smashed a laptop on his knee one evening. And here the order is on fire! I insured, completed, passed. And the next day I bought her a new laptop. No one else broke anything. And everyone in her family knows: her mother works at the computer, and does not play tsatski!
Larisa, by the way, does not think about her project. It is more convenient for her, a busy person who works at work, to work on one-time orders. There is time or money is needed - it works. Once or tired, you need to rest - it does not work.
Until now, we have been talking about young or middle-aged teachers. About people of pre-retirement age or recently retired - a separate conversation.
And the essence of this conversation boils down to one thing - you need to prepare exit routes, create a "safety cushion". So that it would not be “excruciatingly painful”, cold and hungry when they say at work: “Thank you! We no longer need your services. Go home and enjoy your well-deserved rest."
And then what? “And psyo,” is how one of my grandchildren says “everything,” “the pension has struck.” How much is 150-200 dollars? Live as you want.
And even worse, if at work they don’t seem to be driven, but there are no forces anymore. The profession of a teacher requires a lot of strength, not every young person will get it!
I dare say that the way out of this dark tunnel is through the Internet. It is not only possible to earn money there, but it should be. Only this way out must be sought as early as possible. Otherwise it might be too late...
And it is better to go with a guide who has already walked this path, knows all the potholes on the road. Don't go where you shouldn't go. Better take on what you know how to do - work in the field of educational activities.
And an important point. Make a decision for yourself - to pay for anything on the Internet only from the money earned there. Well, perhaps with the exception of the first steps, which should bring the first money that will start your development and building a business on the Internet.
Is it possible? Definite answer: YES. Lots of options. Start with work, and not with some mythical opportunities for quick earnings or investments. Do not climb into the pyramids. Don't start with partnerships. This is a way of earning money that involves costs. If you want, you can start affiliate programs when you earn money from them from the Internet.
The report turned out rather big, 24 pages. And I thought to meet 5.
But it turns out that for a teacher on the Internet there are a lot of points of application of forces and ways to earn money by applying their professional skills.
Education is one of the most talked about areas of life. Still, each of us went through our schools and universities, and no matter how far we run away from education, we will return when our children or grandchildren study. Lviv education recent times acquired a scandalous image.
A year ago, the ex-head of the department was caught with a fake diploma, recently the director and accountant of Lviv schools were caught in fraud. What happened to the venerable industry? The correspondent asked about this. about. Head of the Department of Education of the Lviv City Council, Ekaterina Gorohovska (pictured), who sometimes, making contradictory statements, wants, according to her, to excite education.
— Why did so much negativity suddenly spill over into Lviv education?
- It so happened that individual educational institutions turned into the "brainchild" of a certain group of people. No leadership rotation. Some directors hold the same position for up to 35 years.
- On the other hand, such a director knows better the problems of his native educational institution…
“That's good, but some people start to abuse it. Some directors lose their vigilance, they think that they have become unpunished. Here at school No. 52, it’s as if the accountant is to blame, but I don’t believe that such things could be done without the director’s participation (they assume that double bookkeeping was carried out at the school for a long time, the amounts that were asked from the state for the needs of the school were much higher than actually the educational institution needed it. Another thing is that the head of the educational institution pays too much attention to paperwork. Only 8 percent of the working time should be devoted to this. The rest should be carried out in a team. The level of training and self-education of directors is also insufficient. I come to school, and the head does not have a computer on the table. Justified: "I'm going to the secretary in the teacher's room." Meanwhile, children are actively using iPads and other technology. They have the whole world in that iPad.
- Not all children have an ipad, is it relevant to talk about a revolution in learning in our schools?
- All students do not have such a technique, but more than half have it. And these students become partners of the teacher. During the lesson, he can ask them to find this or that information. The teacher becomes a kind of conductor. Computer classes in schools should work from 8 am to 10 pm. And we will demand such a schedule from September and, of course, we will check later.
Parents complain about extortion in schools. How do you deal with this phenomenon?
- Usually it looks like this: parents gather at a meeting, and one mother says: “We seem to have everything in the class, but let's buy even better curtains.” Collect, for example, 60 hryvnia. For this mother, 60 hryvnias is not much money. But there is another family in the class, where the mother earns 1,200 hryvnias a month, brings up three children, and it is difficult to give her even 60 hryvnias for each. There is a conflict. If someone gets indignant and complains to the management, we will intervene, the public will know about the extortion. If they do not complain, they keep silent, the school will receive a new renovation, and this will already be a positive story. The school management does not intervene in these situations, it takes a wait-and-see attitude. If it works, it's good; if it doesn't, it's okay. The Department of Education, to tell the truth, also does not interfere, because we are trying to give more powers to directors.
- How to get out of this situation?
- In one school, the chairman parent committee suggested such a solution. He tells his parents: "Calculate how much you spent this week on trips to cafes and restaurants." Someone 300, someone 200, and someone nothing. He says: "Let's not go this week, but give the money to the needs of the school." In another educational institution, they created an official fund where parents put money. So, they pay taxes, but there is no unnecessary talk, gossip, accusations.
- It would be interesting to compare the number of medals at the school with the number of 200 points.
We have already undertaken such an analysis. School No. 93, with which we now have so many problems, this year has the most medalists in Lviv - 15. And only one student scored 200 points in the EIT (a criminal case was opened against the director). VNO allows us to see the real results of the work of the school - where the teacher worked, and where - the tutor.
- Or did the parents complain to the management about the teachers?
- For the year that I work, there were no official appeals, but they contacted by phone, reported in private conversations. Parents must be aware of themselves as participants educational process. Understand that the child must learn the material. The teacher has the right to correct the grade, agree with him about it. And you don’t have to carry sweets, coffee or, God forbid, money for it. From September, we will start checking one of the schools in Lviv: parents reported teachers who, after school, leave students for additional paid classes. I know the name of the teacher, the subject, the amount, I take this issue under control.
“Many teachers are tutors. No wonder - the classes are large, the programs are reduced. Not all children learn material in the same way...
- The teacher, first of all, must work out the money that he receives from the state. It cannot be that in the 11th grade, children do not go to the teacher for a lesson. Then you need to ask: why don't they go? Even worse, if these same children go to the teacher after school for an additional fee. We do not have a single vacancy for a teacher of mathematics, chemistry, foreign languages - all the main subjects. There are only a few vacancies for teachers of labor, fine arts, social workers, one vacancy for a primary school teacher. If we hold on to work so much, so we want to work, then let's do it efficiently.
- from new school year Lviv teachers are offered to tighten their belts. They cut everything – extracurricular hours, fees for classrooms.
- On optional hours, they speculate more often. For example, they are added to those teachers who do not have enough hours. But are these electives really held, do children go to them? Ideally, it should be like this: at the beginning of the year, children are asked to choose an elective they want to attend, they must write official applications. Pupils expressed a desire to go to one or another additional lesson - an elective is opened. And the money for the office does not go into the teacher's pocket, he must spend it on improving his office. We will finance full-fledged offices, there will be funds for them.
“Teachers' salaries are low. When these little tricks are gone, how else can they make money?
“Believe me, I know how a teacher can make money. Many ideas on how to make money for teachers sitting at home can be found on the site http://profitgid.ru. Write a grant, for example. There is a teacher in Lvov who won two grants and wrote about five. This is an incentive for reflection, creative work. The second way. How many fathers this year have been asked to continue their school camps? For teachers, this would be both additional income and an opportunity to organize an interesting alternative summer school. Especially since they have such a big vacation, why not use some? Thirdly, there are many requests from the organization Sunday schools. Parents want their children to have a meaningful weekend. Why not give them this weekend? Again, would have received an additional payment ...
You are the teacher capital letter? Is it about you - incredible hard work, high responsibility, great patience, incredible self-control and an all-consuming love for children? Is school/university more important to you than your personal life? But ... in this ideal picture of the work of a teacher, there is the most important minus - wages.
Why? Why do you give everything of yourself, but you cannot live with dignity in material terms? How to combine such concepts as a teacher and profit? The answer is simple - to find not only an intellectual, rich, emotional work but well paid. Where? In the Internet! Specifically? On the website of the Academician.
It is clear that there are no people more conservative than teachers. But today, remote work as a teacher at home is no longer a fantasy, but a real everyday life. Moreover, they are real for everyone: even for a teacher of the Russian language, even for a journalist, even for a teacher who just writes a diploma.
Teachers of any discipline who are looking for a job remotely and choose us are guaranteed to receive:
- decent pay, depending only on the teacher, and not on the whim of the administration,
- regular flow of orders/customers,
- free work schedule with the ability to combine work at school / university and tutoring,
- convenient workplace at home (even with a cup of coffee and a chocolate bar),
- independence from superiors, inspections, paperwork, claims of modern parents and whims of students,
- absolute realization of their professional and methodological skills.
So, we open the Academician website and use the modern way to earn money steadily and well with our mind!
Remote work as a teacher at home without unnecessary headaches with stable pay!
Find a job on the Internet with us and live with dignity!
Health and prosperity to you, my dear readers! Relatively recently, our dear Prime Minister publicly sent all dissatisfied with the salary of teachers to go towards business and earn big money there. Like, a teacher is a state of mind, and the soul, as you know, does not need to eat, dress and generally try on all sorts of life's blessings. Well, thanks to him at least for giving me the topic of another article. Give applause to business ideas that will tell the teacher how to make money without compromising the main job.
Business idea number 1. Work as a tutor
As my good friend once said (associate professor of the department of geography, by the way): “To pass the exam, you don’t need to study the subject - you just need to learn how to pass the exam!”. So, if at school teachers teach their disciplines strictly according to established work programs, then the task of tutors is to teach the student the principles of passing a unified state exam. And, I must say, tutoring is very well paid, especially in Moscow.
Parents of students are ready to give their last money, but only so that their child successfully passes all the exams and enters the “tower”. You can engage in tutoring for at least two or three hours every weekday and earn income, often exceeding the teacher's monthly salary.
Business idea number 2. Solving tests and writing essays
The education of an average teacher allows him to easily complete most of the tasks from the curriculum of universities and colleges. It is very often easier for negligent and lazy students to pay a tidy sum to an outsider than to write essays and complex tests themselves.
After spending a couple of evenings writing a particularly intricate essay, the teacher will be able to earn good money, and the student will be “excellent” in the test.
Those educators who decide to take up this way of earning money should start by submitting ads to newspapers and "hanging out" in thematic groups educational institutions created in social networks.
Business idea number 3. Text exchanges
Each teacher is simply obliged to competently and consistently express their thoughts. It is this quality that is valued in professional copywriting. By periodically writing articles on various topics and posting them on text exchanges, the teacher will be able to significantly improve his financial situation without interrupting his main activity.
Good authors are worth their weight in gold, and their rates are sometimes an order of magnitude higher than average. It is enough to devote several evening hours to copywriting or rewriting, so that the extra 5-7 thousand rubles will settle in your pocket.
Business idea number 4. Thematic video blog on YouTube
Why not? Creating an educational channel where you can share your teaching experience with colleagues from all over the country is a great modern business idea. The main thing is the presentation of the material!
The teacher can interestingly and “tasty” talk about his methods of teaching lessons, as well as upload videos of the lessons themselves. Dividing the channel into categories will attract more target audience. Let's say the section "School jokes from life" will be of interest to almost all YouTube users.
Business idea number 5. Horticulture
Personally, I know several teachers and even one professor who are actively engaged in the management of their gardening and receive a very good income from it. This business idea is ideal for teachers working in countryside, and those teachers who have Vacation home. So, I would like to highlight at least three areas for the implementation of a business idea related to generating income from the gifts of mother earth:
- Growing and selling food.
- Seasonal flower business.
- Trade in seedlings in the spring.
All of the above options are quite time-consuming, but with a competent approach, they will bring an extra penny to the teacher's wallet. By the way, it will be easiest for biology teachers to master the wisdom of proper farming!
Instead of a conclusion
Sadly, in our time, the word "teacher" began to be written with a small letter and pronounced in an undertone, bashfully looking away. And the very profession of a teacher has become synonymous with work "for food and for an idea."
In order to live more or less decently, teachers (especially men) try to find a part-time job, sometimes in completely opposite activities. Some open their own small business, others are interrupted by random "kalyms" (including). I hope that the business ideas from this article will help at least a few representatives of this worthy profession to increase their level of well-being. Good luck teachers, and God bless you!
You are a teacher? Looking to make some extra money but don't know how to fit another job into your busy schedule? Indeed, the teacher gets up at 5 in the morning to meet his students neatly and with a smile on the threshold of the class at 8:00, and leaves the educational institution with the first star in order to spend a good half of the night checking notebooks and planning future lessons. Therefore, it seems unlikely to find a part-time job opportunity. But thanks modern technologies any educator can start an online career. You will have to work outside the walls of the traditional class, which many will regard as a bonus. We present to your attention 9 great ideas on how a teacher can realize his potential and get a good income at the same time.
skype tutor
Online learning has many advantages not only for the student, but also for the teacher himself:
- there is no need to spend time and money on the road, getting to the place of work;
- it is possible to reach a huge audience anywhere in the country;
- work takes place in the comfort of your own home;
- between lessons you can have time to cook lunch or do cleaning / washing / ironing;
- the teacher independently plans the work schedule, so you can easily find time for personal affairs, for example, classes in the gym;
- the teacher deals with each student according to an individual program, which increases the efficiency of the process, in addition, multimedia aids are more diverse and interesting than traditional teaching materials.
Translations, writing texts
Teacher foreign language can find assignments for translations of fiction and scientific texts, and a language teacher will become an excellent copywriter. What texts can a teacher write? Any: news, advertising theses, commercial offers, culinary recipes, informational articles. Perhaps you enjoy freelance work so much that you focus all your energy on it. After all, to organize a workplace, you only need a laptop that will fit in a travel bag if you wish to continue creating on vacation.
Performer of course and scientific papers, abstracts and control
Believe me, you just need to advertise on the Web or within the walls of an educational institution, and there will be no end to customers! There will always be negligent and lazy students who find it easier to pay for finished work than to strain the brains themselves (if they exist at all).
Educational Materials Provider
Curriculum and plan developer
Chegg is an American company that develops online textbooks and web-based learning programs. Based in Santa Clara, California. The name Chegg is an abbreviation of English words"chicken" (chicken) and "egg" (egg), reflects the age-old philosophical question: "Which came before: the chicken or the egg?", which the founders of the company interpreted in the spirit of modernity: "How to get a job without experience, if work?"
Returning to the topic, here is how Chegg describes curriculum developers: "If the classroom were a theater, the developer curriculum I would be a playwright who creates the story and writes the dialogue.” If you have spent a significant amount of time in the classroom and dozens of students have passed through your hands, you know exactly which techniques work and which do not. Therefore, you will write a 100% effective curriculum.

This is, as a rule, part-time and non-systemic work, since the workload changes during the year.
