Are You a Script-Follower or a Teacherpreneur?


Not all online ESL teachers are created equal. Are you stuck following someone else’s script or are you owning your own ESL journey? 🚀

So, what is the difference between a teacher, a tutor and a script follower anyway?

👩‍🏫TEACHER: a certified qualified educator. Works in structured settings like schools, focuses on lesson planning, curriculum presentation and classroom management.

🤓TUTOR: Offers personalized help in specific subject fields, usually one-on-one or small group help. Not always a certified teacher, may have a TEFL certificate.

📝SCRIPT FOLLOWER: Sticks to rigid platforms and predefined curricula, follows set lesson plans religiously, does not add personalized creativity or adapt to student needs, settles for low wages, lacks flexibility and freedom.

🗣️The truth is, Speaking English doesn’t automatically make someone an English teacher; teaching requires training and skills, and cultural understanding and adapting to student needs is crucial beyond just language use.
