If any teachers are looking for a summer job, the company I work for is in need as school is getting out soon. 25 minute classes teaching English to kids in China, ages 5-12, for $17-22/HOUR. There are usually monthly incentives too. The lessons are provided to you in the platform and you make your own schedule weekly. Available hours would be 12 AM EST-10 AM EST and 9 PM EST-12 AM EST. I've been doing this since October, so feel free to ask me any questions if you're interested.
