Remote work for a teacher

15.07.202121.04.2022 Sam

With an unstable economic situation, often a teacher’s salary is not enough until the end of the month. Where to find additional income by working remotely if you need to provide not only yourself, but also the whole family?

Freelancing for teachers

Education is a very large field of activity through which literally everyone passes. The law on obtaining secondary education is mandatory for all citizens of the Russian Federation. Therefore, a diploma with the education of a teacher of a particular discipline can never lose its relevance. But not everyone is ready for the fact that employees of schools and higher educational institutions receive pennies, compared to what money teachers receive abroad.

In order to earn more, you need to look for a part-time job. A few extra hours of work today can be found on freelance exchanges or even tutoring through learning platforms.

An example of such an exchange is an educational resource that brings together teachers and students – Author24. New orders appear every day, a convenient search for tasks and reference material. In addition, the creators have thought of this training service as safe as possible, both for performers and customers. All disputes that arise during cooperation, the site administration controls and resolves itself. This, in turn, gives confidence to both parties that it is possible to get out of a difficult situation without any risks. And most importantly, the monthly payment is several times higher than at the university.

Employment remotely allows a person to choose when and how much to earn. At first glance, it is difficult to combine a main job and a part-time job, but after a week or two you will adapt and be able to devote your free time not only to a part-time job, but also to family and friends.

Remote tutoring

Teachers are more accustomed to tutoring than teachers. An exception are cases when an applicant purposefully wants to enter a higher educational institution at a certain faculty and asks the teacher to help him familiarize him with the material that needs to be learned for the entrance exams. Such tutoring usually does not last long (2-3 months before joining). After that, the teacher can only rely on his salary.

If you love the subject you teach, then why not start bringing it to people who really need it. The emotional return will be much higher than at the university. We know very well that not everyone enters a particular faculty of their own free will: someone for show, and someone for the sake of their parents, because of the availability of a budget place, and so on. In the case of tutoring, here they are ready to pay only for the knowledge that they consider important and necessary for themselves.

In order to start tutoring via the Internet, you need the same standard set of tools as a regular freelancer:

computer with camera or tablet;
internet access;
an installed video calling application, such as skype;
free 3-4 hours a day;
payment card or web wallet.

It would be nice to get a small board for writing down formulas, examples, but in principle, a regular A4 album sheet is enough for a start. If there is no board, fix the camera in such a position that the student can see the progress of solving problems, chemical equations, etc.

Tutoring is a very painstaking job, so be prepared for the following difficulties:

Repeat multiple times. What is obvious to you is a mystery to another person. Don’t be nervous or upset that you can’t explain it to a student. Rephrase the sentence, always give illustrative examples.
You can forget that on weekends you will sleep until noon. Some students from remote cities of Russia will have lunch, but you only have morning. Or vice versa – you have ten in the evening, and the student has only six. Plan lessons based on your interests. Give the student a choice between two options for the time that is right for you, then in any case, you will not disturb your sleep and there will be time for your family.
Be prepared for questions. There will be many, not one or two. In order not to find yourself in a difficult position, for which you may be ashamed, read additional literature on the subject, and also be interested in innovations related to your subject.
Don’t rule out preparing for a lesson, even if you have notes on the topic. Nobody likes teachers who constantly look at notes. Believe me, it can be seen even in the computer camera. An unprepared person very often stops, cannot concentrate on what he wants to say. The student observing this process will get the impression that he is facing an incompetent specialist in his field.

Author of scientific papers

Another type of freelancing for teachers is writing scientific papers. This includes abstracts, control, reports, term papers, bachelor’s and even theses. Such works are paid an order of magnitude higher than regular articles for content on the Internet, as they require some practical tasks, opinion polls, and the study of about 30-100 sources of additional literature.

For a university teacher, doing such additional part-time work remotely will not be a big deal, because over the years of practice, he has learned by heart the structure of all scientific papers, the rules for formatting, and the like. He does not have to go to the library to look for specialized literature for writing a term paper or diploma – most of the samples of critics or researchers are on his shelf. In addition, the main advantage is that the university employee is able to separate the main from the secondary, so there will be no “water” in such work, only everything in fact.

If writing a scientific paper requires additional research, reading a recently published work, studying statistics – everything will cause the teacher even more interest in the task and positive emotions.

Knowing a foreign language, you can enter foreign labor exchanges and start writing scientific papers for students from other countries. The pay for such work is several times higher than in Russia.

Why limit yourself to something, if you can start making money on the Internet today!

When, after many sleepless nights, the diploma is finally ready, I want to pass it and forget it. But the university will not lag behind the student so easily. After all, the full text of the diploma was read only by the supervisor, and a whole commission will gather to evaluate it. Therefore, in many respects, his assessment depends on how the student defends his diploma.

So what is a successful defense?

Competent protection text
positive diploma review
confident answers to commission questions

In the introduction to the course it is necessary to indicate many important points. One of them is methodology. The student is required to indicate what methods he will use in the study of the topic. This is not the easiest task, and often students cannot cope with this task themselves. In this case, you can contact us. Our experts will write you a paper of any complexity, and you can discuss the price with them personally.

Speech structure

Of course, what exactly to say in the defense depends mainly on the topic of the thesis and on what exactly is written in it, but there are general recommendations that are suitable for everyone.

First, we need to say hello to the members of the evaluation committee. (“Dear members of the attestation commission! Your attention is presented to the final qualifying work on the topic …”)
Introductory part. Here you need to reveal the topic and identify the issues that are raised in the work.
Relevance of the topic. At this stage, it is important to prove the relevance of the chosen topic and the degree of its development in other people’s works. Indicate the subject, object, objectives and purpose of the study.
Theme disclosure structure. Here you just need to list the paragraphs that are in the work and briefly describe them.
Problem statement. To confirm the relevance of the topic, it is necessary to state the problem and indicate debatable opinions on this matter.
Conclusions. At the end of the speech, the commission should hear the conclusions that the student came to in the course of writing the diploma, in which there are ways and methods for solving the stated problems.

On the one hand, it seems that it is much easier to write a graduation speech than the diploma itself. However, high-quality speech is a skillful squeeze out of the work, as well as its competent presentation. And it often happens that a diploma is written with the highest score, and a student gets a worse grade. Therefore, if there is a lack of self-confidence, you can order a speech on our website. And then the probability of failure due to bad speech will disappear. After all, we give a twenty-day guarantee for the work, and if something does not suit you, you can demand that the author finalize the order for free. We make sure that students are satisfied, so if the final version of the work does not meet the stated requirements, you will get your money back.

Formal requirements

When writing a speech for a thesis, you must also take into account that there are purely formal requirements.

Time. Do not forget that there are many students, but only one commission. Therefore, the time for a defensive speech is regulated and ranges from 5 to 7 minutes. At the same time, you should remember about the time that will be spent on commission questions.
Intonation. Where, no matter how on the defense of a diploma, is it important to win over listeners? Therefore, it is better not to read the speech monotonously, making accents with intonation.
Style. When presenting a speech, it should be remembered that the main goal is understanding on the part of the commission. Therefore, you should not be too smart, but you can’t switch to colloquial speech either. In this matter, you need to observe the golden mean.
Pronouns. As in the diploma itself, it is important to remember during the defense that although the author of the diploma is clearly spelled out, there are a lot of true owners of knowledge reflected in the work (the authors of all the sources the student relied on plus the supervisor), so first-person pronouns are not appropriate here.
Questions. After the end of the speech, questions from the commission will inevitably follow, and you need to be ready for them. Suggested questions should be written down in the course of writing the thesis, work through all the questions that arose during the pre-defense, and you can also look at the questions at the end of chapters from textbooks on this topic.
Pre-protection. In such a matter as defending a diploma, it is better not to be presumptuous and neglect pre-defense. On it, you can practice giving a speech and write down possible questions from the audience. This will allow you to feel more confident in the official defense.

Of course, these are only recommendations, and no one forces you to strictly follow them. However, the rejection of some positions during the defense will create additional questions from the certification committee, which is not always loyal. Therefore, it is best to think through all possible questions and answer them in advance in a defensive speech. Then the teachers will have a minimum of questions, and they will be grateful for the saved time.
