What does a great online English teacher for kids actually do all day? We followed one of our certified Filipino teachers through a typical Tuesday of live, 1-on-1 lessons.

Morning: preparation and first lessons

An online English teacher for kids starts by reviewing each child's notes — their goals, the last lesson, and what to revisit. Early sessions might be phonics with a four-year-old, then a story with a nine-year-old.

Afternoon: variety and feedback

No two lessons are alike. A skilled online English teacher for kids moves between games, conversation and gentle correction, then writes a short progress report for each parent so families always know what was covered.
