We’re Changing Things a Bit.

We want to work closer with teachers and work harder to get them students

Better Profiles, Teacher Focused = More Students

At the moment the way OrangoTeacher.com works is pretty straightforward. A teacher who is interested in teaching lessons to students adds their profile to the OrangoTeacher website. This profile then appears in the OrangoJapan website where students can view it. If a student sees a teacher they like, they pay 3000 Yen to sign up with the site and then contact the teacher, or as many teachers as they like.

But the system isn’t really working…

Sadly not. The issue we’re having is that there are loads of websites out there offering a similar service.

And lots and lots of teacher profiles for students to look at.

With there not being all that much to distinguish the teachers from the many many other teachers out there, it becomes very difficult to get the attention of potential students.

So we decided that we need to work closer with the teachers on OrangoTeacher; in fact, work for them. Kind of like their agent – responsible for getting them students.

Get to know then. Promote them and recommend them.

This probably means fewer teachers on our database, but the ones which are on there will be ones we know – have some kind of relationship with.

Teachers who we trust and are proud to display and associate with OrangoJapan.

TRUSTED TEACHERS

So to be a ‘Trusted Teacher‘ we’ll ask you to provide some evidence of the qualifications you have listed in your profile as well as evidence of your legal residence status. We’ll also arrange a quick online meeting with you, to get to know you as well as make sure your English is as good as you say it is.

If your profile is fully filled out we’ll then mark you as an Orango Japan Trusted Teacher and put a big badge on your profile indicating this.

We’ll also do the following to ensure you get as many students as you can:

  • Assign you an Agent who’s responsible for getting you students
  • Promote your profile in our blogs and social media channels
  • Advertise your profile in external language websites
  • Give you access to our Zoom Room where you can teach online classes to the masses!
  • Recommend you to students directly
  • Give you access to student and employment noticeboards
  • Add subtitles and graphics to your video profile
  • Advise you on your profile and help it stand out

CURRENTLY FREE. BECOME A TRUSTED TEACHER NOW….

Due to the time and effort we’ll be putting into getting students for teachers, this will ultimately become a paid service for teachers. However in the beginning, we’re rolling this out as a free service. So to become a trusted teacher and get us working for you, please get in touch to start the process. Mail us at admin@orangojapan.com or use the contact form.

Looking forward to working with you….

    1. Hi Hamish,

      Thanks for the message. To become a trusted teacher, your profile needs a photo and video. We also need to see evidence (like a scan or pdf copy) of the qualifications on your profile. Lastly, we would have a really short 10 minute chat online. I’ll send you a direct mail with this info to arrange something. Thanks. Adam
