Recently I had a talk with an English teacher who was laid off. Except for teaching, he had no idea how he could make money. I summarized our talk and turned it into tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can proofread texts that are in languages you know well. There are some websites that could help you\u2014for example, and Languagetool<\/a> (there are 30 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese and others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more tips on editing texts, read my blog post \u2014 10 Text Editing Tips And Tricks. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly, you have composed many lesson plans and resources. Why not to sell them? You could sell them on Teachers Pay Teachers<\/a> (TPT) or on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I bet you know a lot! Another way of earning some money is to conduct webinars with useful tips. You could have free Live streams. Yet, if people cannot come, they can buy records. Or if you would like to, you can also charge for your Lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are different kinds of dictations to use during lessons. One of them is when you ask your learners to write everything down that they hear on audio you play \u2014 word by word. Have you ever practiced this kind of dictation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a very useful exercise to practice listening skills. You can learn more from the video that I recorded. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSell your lesson plans or resources <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
