    Hi, I am an English instructor who would like to venture into online English teaching but doesn’t have any idea how to.I’ve had experiences providing seminars and trainings in English to professionals and I also give review classes to those who are preparing for Licensure and Civil Service Exams. I also edit professional papers as well as technical and scientific reports and researches. Now, I would like to make use of these skills using the internet, only I don’t know how to start. I would appreciate any assistance you could extend regarding my concern.

    Thank you very much.

      Hi, this is Argie, I have read your concern,and its owesome…
      My suggestion for you is to explore the computer world, it might be too awkward to say “go back to the basics” but I think it would help you a lot.

      Cyber learning is a more demanding source nowadays and it would be a great oppurtunity for you to open up to a new access of chances for people to get to know and learn from an experienced source…
      Don’t hesitate to view the different fields of this world

      GO FOR YOUR GOAL!!!
