Instructors Wanted
Do you have what it takes to stand with our crowd? We are always looking for new instructors, because good teachers are hard to find. We seek instructors who can teach days, evenings, or weekends, usually on a freelance basis. If you are looking for part-time work, this is an excellent opportunity to hone your skills, make some extra money, and have fun as well. If your looking for full time work and are truly excellent at what you do, let us know that as well.

There are 4 prerequisites to become an instructor at EST:

1. Be a pro with the software you teach.
If you are going to teach a software, you better be an expert at it. Our students can be demanding. They come from the top companies. They are smart. They will ask you difficult, questions, and you must be able to answer them. If you only know a software well enough to teach a total beginner, you do not qualify.

2. Be affable and good with people. People must like you.
How many times have we tried out instructors that cannot communicate with students? More than we care to admit! To be a good instructor, you need to have a comfortable and entertaining demeanor. You must be able to get along with almost any type of personality. At EST, you are like a friend showing another friend how to use the computer. That is the comfort level we hope every student feels. If you cannot warm up to people (and vice versa), then this isn't your bag.

3. Know how to explain things in a logical manner.
There are plenty of people who meet the above two prerequisites, but who just cannot teach. You must have patience and an easygoing manner. When you teach your first class, we not only monitor it, we ask all of the students for an evaluation. If they don’t think you are GREAT, then we will not use you again. If you are not rated “excellent” by the majority of students, it doesn't go any further!

4. Be Dependable.
It's amazing how many people think that it's OK to flake on a commitment. We are not of that line of thinking. Instructors that arrive late or call-in absent with little notice won't work with us for very long. We understand that "things" happen, but it's funny how "things" always seem to happen with the same people.

If you meet the above criteria, then we would like to hear from you. Once you get started at EST, you may find teaching as fun as our students find learning.
