For Tutors teaching their native language, one of the following:
– two years of teaching experience in that language
– university studies connected with the language
For Tutors teaching their non-native language:
– two years of experience in teaching the language or
– a certificate confirming the knowledge of the language (at least C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) or
– university studies connected with the language
Apart from this, the knowledge of other languages at level B1 (acc. to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) will allow you to teach beginners as some students have a preference for studying a language through other languages they know. Resolving any doubts this way becomes much easier.
In addition, Tutors must have a stable Internet connection, a working microphone and a webcam. Newest computers have an inbuilt microphone and camera, but external devices guarantee a better audio and video quality. The Internet speed you need is at least 2 Mbps. You can test the current speed of your connection here. You can apply by filling out this form.
Apart from this, Tutors have Google Drive tools at their disposal, allowing them to create a separate folder for each student where files, materials and notes can be shared between the Student and the Tutor.
Although the Glossiko system does not allow to cancel a lesson less than 24 hours before its planned start, some Tutors may occasionally allow their students to reschedule less than a day before should they have unexpected circumstances, such as illness.
Should you have an unexpected emergency and are unable to give lessons for a few days, you should let us know at tutors@glossiko.com.
An enthusiastic, funny Tutor, who always tries to make their lessons interesting always attracts more new students.
We also expect you to organise your work, which includes:
- keeping your availability information in your calendar up to date so that students can books lessons with you trouble-free;
- start lessons on time. Attitudes to punctuality differ from culture to culture, but students normally do not tolerate even short delays.
We reserve the right to suspend the account of a Tutor on our website at any time due to problematic situations. For instance, if we receive a number of complaints about a Tutor from multiple students, as this affects the reputation of all Glossiko Tutors. In extreme cases we will terminate cooperation with such Tutors.
