How Twenix Became My Go-To Side Gig
When remote work became a thing, I started looking for a way to earn a bit extra without giving up my freedom. I didn’t want a 9-to-5 or anything that tied me to a strict schedule. That’s when I stumbled across online English teaching. It sounded simple enough: a laptop, a decent internet connection, a camera, and I was curious to see if it could actually work for me.

A Beginner’s Guide to Finding a Quality Online TEFL Company
March 7th, 2022 Look around any online tutor support group on Facebook and you’ll unfortunately find many stories on disreputable TEFL companies not paying teachers or reducing pay checks through punitive fines.

Some tutors were treated quite poorly by these companies during the implementation of these new rules. The only thing that we can do as ESL tutors is to reject bad companies, help each other find good ones, and help…
