The Internet English School

I’ve got a Skype call from a Filipino English teacher recently. I took her class several times in an internet English school in my past. She wanted me to evaluate applicants who want to be hired in her newly founded school in  Philippines. What a so many internet English schools there are in the internet! And there are still many young entrepreneurs to make a new English school over there. I can’t believe it. 

Comparing with establishing new internet Chinese school, it’s easy to do an English one. Then so many English schools were founded in the internet. Because the entry barrier for the business is very low, and there are tons of human resources suitable for English teachers in Philippines if you don’t ask too much for your teacher.

I was introduced to them that I am an intermediate student beforehand. I took 4 applicants’ classes. After taking classes I told my English teacher my evaluation for them. She wanted to know if I want to take their class or not when she open her new school. Two out of four of the applicants are not attractive for my English teacher as they had very strong Filipino accents.

It depends on the price to take the class that I am content with their performance as an English teacher. Because I think I need to read English books and practice “Native method” and don’t feel any need for taking English conversation classes right now.  The border line for paying money for these teachers who clear my criteria is 300yen/30min.
