• Basic computer skills are essential.
• A reliable internet connection and access to a computer/laptop are required.
• Proficiency in the subject you plan to teach is necessary.
• A digital pen is beneficial, especially for academic subjects.

This question makes sense only when someone is employing you. If a company is hiring you directly, you should ask them. If however, you work independently, then it works the same way as it worked before the internet:

• You charge as much you want.
• Teachers on School Buddy charge anywhere from $1 to over $150 per hour.
• Rates are determined by individual skills, living standards, location, existing clientele, and demand for specific skills.
• If unsure about pricing, start with a minimum and adjust as you gain experience. You can also check the rates of other teachers on the platform.

Flexibility is key, and unless employed by a company, you can set your own schedule. Discuss preferences with students to find a mutually suitable time. Many teachers enjoy the freedom to teach from different locations, accommodating global time differences.

There's no minimum typing speed, but faster typing enhances the student experience. If speed is a concern, prepare lesson materials beforehand or use digital pens for direct screen drawings.

For efficient typing, learn touch-typing, and tools like Typingbolt can help.

Utilize communication tools, screen sharing, and platforms like Skype, Google Meet, Zoom and online whiteboards such as AwwApp.com and Idroo.com. Remote access and screen-sharing tools like Teamviewer.com and Anydesk.com can also be employed. Refer to our comprehensive online teaching guide for detailed insights.

While not always necessary, a digital pen is advantageous. It becomes essential when teaching subjects like Maths or Physics, where drawing figures on an online whiteboard is crucial.

The necessity of a webcam depends on the student's preference. Most adult students may not require it, but parents of younger students often prefer webcam engagement. Keep a webcam handy and discuss its use with each student.
