Salaries Cut and Job Losses (list of schools in Phnom Penh)

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

My online teaching income increases each month, $3,000+ and only limited by what hours I'm prepared to teach. If you're teaching for a B&M school, you really need to consider online teaching options :)
can you suggest some good online options to teach?
VIPKid is one I hear mentioned often when teaching English online comes up.

A lot of Chinese students.

ISPP, Descartes and EFI/CIS have maintained full salary for all staff. They are all doing distance teaching.

I list my profile on iTalki.com and that's where the vast majority of my students are obtained. My students are located worldwide.

Be wary of Chinese online schools. They seem to be flooded with wannabe ESL teachers (nannies, babysitters etc), and pay rates have fallen.

how easy is it (realistically) to get online Tefl work right now, I mean aren't they inundated with applications due to all the job losses around the world?

Here’s a link for a bunch of options to teach English online. Includes the certification requirements and pay rates along with a bit of a description of each institute.

My concern about teaching online is what will I do for visas?

Not that I’ve had a whole lot of experience with this myself, I would say it depends on the country. Some you may be able to get away with a tourist visa whilst others, to stay above board, check their requirements for a work visa and submit the documents.

boy, it's kind of depressing this thread

I mean who really wants to go to a 'fun' destination just to have to sit in their room all day looking at a laptop?

People who want to eat and pay their bills.

It is a great job. Have you ever had to sit around a Thai school all day long and get paid peanuts. I love the flexibility and make more money.
