5+ Work at Home Opportunities in the Education Field

Many of you may know that two years ago I graduated with my degree in Education. Who would have thought that I would not be in a classroom teaching, but instead at home raising my two children?

I would not have thought that this is where I would be when I started to work at home.  A lot of people are wondering how as an educator, I can put my education degree to use.  As I searched for work at home opportunities I soon realized the options were endless.

Teach Online

Last summer I pursued an online teaching job quite faithfully, although I never found one. Connections Academy is an online school that teaches kids all over the world.

Most people that write say that you need to have some sort of niche. What better niche than one you are certified in?

One opportunity that has often crossed my mind is starting a preschool for other moms like me. Preschool can be really expensive and my son is around preschool age.

Online Language Instructor

Online language instructors teach foreign languages remotely, catering to students of various proficiency levels. Platforms like Rosetta Stone and online language schools offer opportunities for language instructors. Fluency in the target language, teaching experience, and online communication skills are essential. Consider a work-at-home career as an online language instructor to engage with students from around the world.

Virtual librarians bring library services to digital platforms, assisting students, researchers, and educators remotely. Collaborate with online libraries or research organizations to provide guidance in research and access to resources. Proficiency in online research tools and excellent communication skills are essential. Explore work-at-home opportunities as a virtual librarian to support others in their pursuit of knowledge.

I’m still exploring my options as a person with an education degree who works at home. I personally believe that the options are endless when you are a work at home entrepreneur. I have the upper hand because I know how the work at home world works and I have a degree in something that helps change lives. I work as a fulltime writer, but I’m constantly looking for a way to incorporate my lovely education degree into my work at home career.
