How to shortlist English teaching and tutoring professionals
As you’re browsing available English teaching and tutoring consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Translation fit. You want an English teacher or tutor who understands your language or the language of the people you wish to teach.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating English classes for an online course).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular English teacher or tutor.
How to write an effective English teaching and tutoring job post
With a clear picture of your ideal English teacher or tutor in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective English teaching and tutoring job post should include:
- Scope of work: From teaching to course materials, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or software, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
