It’s not easy to take up the job of teaching when you love the comforts of your home, do not like being told how to teach and want a good pay at the same time. However, e-teaching is here to change it all and provide you with what you want.

With the pioneering of digitalisation in India, education sector has taken complete advantage of the opportunity of online education. E-learning in India is not new yet it is, in a way of approaching the students. With the advantages of studying at the comfort of your home, re-watching a video to clarify or revise and studying at a time comfortable for you, e-learning is giving a tough competition to the classrooms.

Virtual classrooms

Not only is it helping students but at the same time it is also a hot job these days for teachers who want to teach from home and do not want the hassles of arranging tuition classes. Not only does it save you time and money it also gets you to reach a far greater number of students than classroom teaching, and that’s what a lot of teachers these days are looking for.

Teachers can devote their time to prepare lessons comfortably just the way students can watch the videos at their convenience. The approach teachers take are not bound to organisational rules and have freedom to teach different topics. Not only do teachers prepare lessons but also solve doubts and pretty much cover all the aspects of classroom learning.

Through e-teaching, teachers are able to help students to gain from the video lessons they provide through virtual teaching. The moral responsibility of imparting education to underprivileged students who are unable to afford expensive coaching is also solved by e-teaching to a great extent. Teachers can reach out to places where it is otherwise physically difficult to teach. It aims to provide education to all and to uplift students who can’t afford expensive coaching and travelling costs.

Sometimes, it is not possible for institutions to hire the best teachers due to financial constraints and sometimes the teachers do not like being associated with coaching classes. In fact, even the age factor can be negated when you teach online because you don’t have to consider the long hours of staying in school or the continuous coaching classes for hours together.

There is no spoon-feeding and hence students have to think on their own, try problem-solving without any help which benefits what they have been taught.

The constant increase in popularity of online courses among students are making teachers too take the path of online teaching as their main job. With accessible technology and the comfort it offers there is no looking back for the ones who opt for online teaching profession.
