Earn extra money with our products, services and ideas

You can earn money in four different ways by becoming a member of this website, they are:

Member affiliate - When you join you can ask us for your own free affiliate link to this website. This is unique to your membership account and enables you to track how many people click on it, come to this site, pay and become a member. Totally transparently we will show you the traffic and sign ups you generate and then pay you 25% commission per new member. So you only need four friends (or four teaching locations if you are a chain) to become members and your annual membership fee is effectively free. Anymore sign up and you are making money.

Teach using our lesson plans on a self-employed basis or in an institution - We have members who are teachers in language schools and conversely language schools who are members, but we also have members who teach students in their own homes, who teach private group and one-to-one lessons and who teach online.

Organise your own language business - Not a teacher? Not a problem. Just organise your own English Out There conversation club or summer school and employ teachers when you need them. Individual membership gives you a licence to use our materials as a freelance or self-employed business owner.

Sell the original English Out There course in London - become an agent and earn commission by selling the original taught course that we still operate in London

More teaching and organising details:

We have owned and run language schools in the UK for almost twenty years and the two biggest expenses are always premises and teachers.

What is a language school?  It is a collection of teachers, classrooms, an office, a common room, a staffroom, some teaching materials and an administration system that binds them all together (others would say it is a 'special space, a place to meet and hang out with like-minded people'...let me tell you, any good school with a good atmosphere has one major meeting place, the nearest good pub!).

What if you could take away the need for big premises and used other peoples' space for teaching, practice and socialising, for free?

What if you had some lessons that had been taught hundreds of times and written by professional teachers and writers, lessons that were specially designed to be used in public spaces and the real world?

What if you had an online, accessible anywhere, state of the art school administration and recruitment system that handled all of the boring stuff and took online upfront payments from your students too?

Well, now all of the above is possible. Don't believe us?

All of these English learners can be instantly contacted via Meetup.com and are looking for English lessons and language exchanges.

Our lesson plans are the only ones available that are specially designed for use with free public spaces.

We have been using other peoples' space for over eight years now, a bit like small ELT flash-mobs.  It costs nothing and is always much more memorable and exciting than sitting in the same old classroom every day.

We provide you with all of the information and support that you need to be able to schedule and teach lessons anywhere and at anytime you and your students like. Meetup.com provides the online student recruitment and school administration system.

Together our lesson plans and their online system create the world's first true school without walls.

For just over GBP 150 per year (or about GBP 14 per month) you can have your own English teaching business anywhere in the world, in minutes. All you need to begin is:

• Membership of this website - GBP 48.49 for one year (introductory offer)
• Membership of Meetup.com - US$ 72 for six months (approx GBP 105 for one year)

Signing up to this website and to Meetup.com takes just a few minutes and yet when you have done the initial set up work you will have:

• All of the specially designed, tried and tested English teaching materials you need to run group classes at six different levels for four weeks at a time per level
• All of the specially designed self-study or one-to-one lesson plans at six levels that you need to be able to run structured paid for language exchanges using Meetup.com and effective and exciting English Out There one-to-one lessons.
• An online language school administration system that will enable you to easily recruit and retain students, schedule classes, distribute documents, communicate, and take online up front payments from your students for each class that they attend. 

You can even schedule well in advance and fill classes that you can then share amongst a group of teachers who are friends.  In other words you can create a virtual school in the real world, but without any conventional classrooms and all for just GBP 14 per month, which you can earn back with just one class of two students paying just GBP 3.33 per hour. I've based that figure on GBP 10 per student per three hour class - so a class of just ten students could earn you a maximum of GBP 100 or GBP 33.33 per hour.

We will also help you by selling pre-paid vouchers for blocks of teaching hours from 3 hours (one lesson) upwards on this website and through our overseas agency partners.  So you will have a mixture of direct and indirect bookings for your classes.  All scheduled using Meetup.com.

What we should end up with are well-paid self-employed teachers working as little or as much as they like and happy motivated students getting cheap and highly effective lessons.

You never know, it might just catch on :-)
