I am a teacher at a large online school AMA

Just that really, I know that people often have questions about online schooling and I will answer anything that I can.

All of the admin side of the business takes place at head office in Crickhowell, so I can’t give you much information about that I’m afraid.
They have an exam centre there, but usually parents are able to find an exam centre closer to their home where children sit the final exams.

Personal question, is the pay equivalent to a teacher in a non online school? Do you have much flexibility with hours also?

How expensive is this?

The pay structure is different to a state school, there are 3 levels of progression. I was part time, now full time, so there is a flexibility, but classes follow a timetable therefore you can be timetabled to teach, rather than deciding when you want to teach.

Please see my info above, as a teacher I’m not 100% sure of costs, but know there are different packages available. There should be info on the website.

How many children do you usually have in each class?
What does the school day look like?
Do you have a lot of children with additional needs, and how do you support them?

How would you know if a child was actually reading a magazine or painting their nails in class? (Or was that just my school? )

Hello!

I realise this is an old thread but I would seriously love to ask you questions!

Are you still teaching online?? If so could I pm you?? (Or anyone else teaching with an online school....)

Thankyou :)
