Has anyone ever worked in a teaching position that's home-based?

I have been teaching for 5 years now and really enjoy it but would love to have the flexibility to work from home. It would really give me more time to devote to my own family and home while still doing what I enjoy...working in education. I've thought of working for an online college as a mentor or one of the public online schools for kids as a teacher. Does anyone have experience doing this or know anyone who has?

Teaching is not good for me , i did'nt like tnis prefession well. Many people say that only a failures used to became a teacher. I also thougnt in same way , might me too be wrong but in my area i had seen many of people who didn't survive the competion they start teaching the only way to earn money. They while teaching teach students and prepare for competion exams as well but unfortunately only few of them survive. There are few person as like you who want to teach by heart thier aim is to be teacher but thier counting is less. Online teaching preogram is very less may be it be in us but in other places i still found teacher to be in school or in big institutions.

My dear Kundanraj I could agree with you more on what you said. I was offered a job as a primary school teacher. The government wants to pay me Ringgit Malaysia 150.00. Because of the low pay I immediately rejected the offer. Money seems to be my main motivation. If I don't have a dedicated heart in the teaching profession, it was best I leave it to others. Even after 40 years (my age is 68) I don't have any regrets at all. This is my take to your comments. Thanks. Love: Bro. Joe. GBU. PS. I am curious about your comments to my take. Please RSVP and ASAP via this site.OK?

You can try searching for leads at wahm forum. I know they have other type of leads from real companies that offer work from home and they might know of ones that offer it for teachers or tutoring. Good luck!
