Before I found oDesk, I worked as a part time virtual English instructor. I taught English to Korean students of all ages ( from 4 years old to 40 years old) online. I found this kind of job at Best Jobs.ph and from there, you can review a lot more home based job opportunities that you can take advantage of.
My whole experience working for this company was absolutely great! Me and my students were really close and comfortable talking to each other. We share ideas, tell stories of our daily activities and talk about many other things that good friends would normally talk about. I got attached with them that it was so hard for me to leave and to let them go.
Here’s a picture that I have kept for a long time of one of my cute Korean students. Her name is Jane and she is so sweet and caring. That’s her pet. 
The company I worked for was Cymon Fon English. Cymon Cho is the owner of Cymon Fon English and Cymon English Institute. He runs his local academy for more than 2 years now and last December 31, 2007, he decided to create an Online English School and now he has 38 people working for him already.

Hello Grace, I’m so inspired to hear / read comments from people like you. I’m so happy to share money earning opportunities as I have been in other people’s shoes before (people who find ways to earn money). If you wish to apply as an online English instructor, give me your profile and I’ll have it forwarded to my former boss then I’ll give you his contact info so you can contact him. Sounds good?
Hi Micah,
Great interview on Qtube last night! I am so excited to read the great information on your site. I’m a “balikbayan” (US Born and raised) living in the Philippines. I’d like to find out more about teaching English.
Thanks and looking forward to your posts!

Hey Hazel, thanks for calling me today. And I really appreciate your compliment. Just let me know if your husband wants to join ha.
Anyway, about this job, my former boss told me that he’s not hiring for home-based tutors anymore instead he hires from a Call center in Makati… Sorry about that… Anyway, goodluck with oDesk and more power to you.
