ONLINE TUTOR WORK

What I like about working from home as an online ESL tutor:

1. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE - Although students can book your class if you open your slots, you can also just go on Standby Mode, and just wait for a student to enter your class. We call it "Sudden Class". They are open 24/7, and laging may students. At dahil dyan, let's go to reason #2.

2. FREEDOM!!!! - Yes. Freedom! Dati, I need to plot my leaves sa office para lang makapunta kung san-san, tapos minsan hindi pa pwede kasi may nakapag-plot na sa date na yun. T_T. Pero ngayon... no need mag-paalam (except kung may naka-book na class sayo, then you need to ask the admin para ma-grant request mo to cancel kaya nga Sudden Classes lang ako lagi para no commitment. 

3. I LEARN A LOT. Natututo din ako habang nagtuturo. 

4. EXPOSURE TO OTHER CULTURES - Since ang students ko ay from another country, nalalaman ko ung cultures nila. 

5. I'M AT HOME. 24/7. - Unting effort lang sa damit, and lipstick, gora na!

6. NO MORE COMMUTE. LESS SPENDING. - Need I say more? (pero iwas lang kaunti sa online shopping at SEAT SALE. haha!

7. GOOD PAY - lalo na pag masipag ka.

Yung sa disadvantages naman, hmmm. Nakakamiss din ung may officemates ka tapos chismisan kayo, magkasama during lunch, and lafang after work. Tapos pag nasa office ka, wala kang choice kundi mag-work kasi lagot ka sa boss mo pag hindi. Tsaka pala ung mga usual benefits kapag nagttrabaho ka sa isang kumpanya waley na. Sariling sikap na ngayon. Another disadvantage is pag nasa bahay ka naman, andaming distractions. Madaling tamarin lalo na pag flexible sked mo. Kelangan ng matinding discipline. I guess masasabi kong may mga trade-offs talaga lahat ng bagay. Piliin mo nalang kung saan ka talaga sasaya. Ako kasi, gusto ko na malaya akong gawin lahat ng gusto ko, at okay lang sakin na nasa bahay lang lagi. Ganern!
