Due to a number of people asking me about my current part-time job as an ESL Online tutor (Home-based) and how I got it, I had to rant about this one. This site was the one in charge of it all. Please read on…
OnTue.Com is an online site that helps ESL teachers and students find each other. Most of the clients here are Koreans while many teachers are Filipinos.
At first, I find this hard to manage as there are many requirements before one can completely enjoy its features but their posting requirements though tedious, I should say, made sense after all.
Thru this site, teachers can create their own profile with their resume and pictures, sample videos and audios, class schedules, blogs about online teaching so that students and employers can easily find them. Teachers can also exchange ideas about their teaching strategies and experiences. By using their sections, a teacher will have greater chances of getting students or employers whichever is desired. It’s a good way of marketing oneself for FREE!!! Students and employers can also place ads for their needs for FREE. Teachers can see the section, “TEACHERS WANTED”. This section is a listing of current students or employers seeking for teachers. While in the “STUDENTS WANTED” , teachers can post their schedule and rate so that students can get in touch with the teachers.
What’s good about OnTue.Com is that the statistics of teachers, students and employers who use this are so high that it is very easy to find what you are looking for. The statistics alone can tell you if this is a working site or not.
As of today, June 16, 2009, there are 6803 teachers. Because there are many qualified teachers on the site, more students and employers look and place their ads on this site. Some sites have a few teachers and a few students but chances are slim for outsourcing ones needs.
Of all my internet surfing for an ESL job, this is the site that produced result in me! Visit the site, learn more about it, post your curriculum vitae and get an ESL job that you’ve been searching for.

Hi Jill!
I was searching on sites that I can join as an online teacher and come across with your blog. I am not really a teacher and never had any experience in teaching.. if Sunday School counts then I have experience already.
Hope you can help me acquaint with the site more and the curriculum to use.
I am really in dire need of a part time job.
thanks and more power to you..
