Everything You Need to Know About Teaching English Online with Rachel Story Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

This week on the podcast we are excited to have Rachel from Grateful Gypsies back!

We first interviewed Rachel and her partner Sasha in the summer of 2017 to talk about teaching English abroad and online and have since kept in touch and even met up in person last year in Mexico City, and this February, we caught up with them about their Year-Long Party at Carnival, The World Cup, and other festivals around the world.

To support their love of travel, Rachel and Sasha starting teaching English in China and eventually transitioned to working fully online. They've been able to travel all over the world from Asia to Latin America making money along the way. Today we're diving fully into teaching English online with Rachel. We cover who is a good fit for the type of work, why it is a great way to launch a nomadic life, and way way more.

Rachel just released her course, Teaching for Freedom, which helps students get jobs and prepare to travel and teach. She graciously offered listeners 20% off using the code: wanderingteachers2019. Enjoy!
