You can earn money in four different ways by becoming a member of this website, they are:
Affiliate - When you join you for free you get your own affiliate links to our sales website. The links are unique to your account and enable you to track how many people click and pay for courses. Totally transparently we will show you 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 nine 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 under US$200 you can have your own English teaching business anywhere in the world, in minutes. All you need to begin is:
Buying our course materials and signing up to Meetup.com takes just a few minutes and yet when you have done the initial set up work you will have:
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, all for a fraction of what it used to cost, and which you can earn back with just a few classes taught.
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 English lessons.
You never know, it might just catch on :-)
