Correct Grammar is Sexy: And so is the concept behind MyClass.es

Just because a fair smack of the world’s population can speak English doesn’t make everyone qualified to actually teach it. Maybe English wasn’t your strongest subject at school. Maybe you were more interested in books with pictures in them than the complete works of Shakespeare, and sometimes you still get ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ mixed up. It happens to the best of us, so you’d expect there to exist alternative routes to the well-worn path to eikaiwa superstardom in Japan. Well, there is now! (insert chorus of whoops and rousing fist-pumping here). For the disillusioned teacher who feels they have more to offer than the usual glut of English grammar, vocabulary and idioms, there’s a brand new website up and running to get you started stimulating the minds of others the way you actually know how.

MyClass.es is a teacher-student introduction service aimed at giving teachers the opportunity to tutor in their particular field (which, just so you know, doesn’t exclude English entirely), and students the chance to find a teacher in their region that matches their interests. Once hitting the site, signing up to become a teacher is as easy as A, B, C – you simply submit a profile detailing what you’ll be teaching, lesson details, a wee bit about yourself, and bang – wait for the offers to start flooding in from eager students keen for you to teach them whatever you have to offer.

Some potential fields of learning are languages, IT skills, cooking, music, art, even dancing. Each field contains a number of subcategories to narrow interest further – for example, under languages, you could specialise in not only English, but also French; if you fancy yourself a culinary whiz, you can offer your superb Middle-Eastern cuisine cooking skills in particular. You choose your own schedule of availability, hourly rates, where you’re able to hold lessons and whether you teach individuals, groups, or over Skype (you can even make your own online meishi). Students are able to customise their search, and once they find a teacher they are interested in, they can register to the site and start contacting. And you don’t have to be concerned about giving out personal information – students are only able to contact teachers through the website’s mail system, so unless you specify, no-one has access to your personal deets.

At the moment, the site is mainly aimed at recruiting teachers from abroad, but in the near future it’s likely that Japanese teachers will also be offering their skills in subjects such as flower arrangement and Japanese cooking, so everyone has a chance to learn across cultures.

So if you’ve always longed to tutor someone in the basic principals of HTML, or salsa classes are more your forte, there may be someone out there wanting lessons from you right now! Head to www.myclass.es to submit your teacher profile, completely free – there are samples to help get you started once you’ve registered.
