I am an English online teacher for japanese students and really having a lot of fun doing it though it is not as high paying as regular classroom teachers. I never thought teaching English online will be fun, I thought it will be boring and less rewarding, but I was wrong! It gives me more lessons than I imagined, I even think I get more than I give :) Have you ever tried learning language online? How is the experience?

@petiksmdoe47 Yes Mom you've got it , it's full of stress, teaching is not that fast and the pay is always a pity.

I just recently earned my associates degree and over half of my classes were online and I loved it. The only reason I started going to classes is either because they were not offered online or I struggle in that subject, like math, and so I had to take it on campus. If I could do it all over again, I would take the online classes, they were fun and I didn't feel pressure to get to class every week. (that is I didn't feel pressure to drive to class, even online one has to get his or her work done on time)

I try my best to learn online. most of the offline education looks boring. i find the quality online much better. besides that online teachers are way better with concepts.
