A freelance online English teacher has many obstacles to face and LessonSpeak™ provides the tools & resources to help educators deliver more value. Tools & resources include curriculum, an AI-powered assistant teacher, and training.
Problem
A freelance teacher must find or create their own resources when teaching online and it is difficult to find the time and expertise to consistently provide a quality experience. Most teachers rely on the companies they are employed at to provide the curriculum, increasing their dependence on the company and diminishing their leverage on the highly competitive market. A new teacher does not know where to go to find resources to become a more successful online freelance teacher.
