Get payments via TeacherOn

We have launched a payment option for you to receive payments through us.

Just because you got a student through us, you don’t need to receive payment from that student via us.

Why is it not mandatory to get payments via TeacherOn?

Since most teachers already pay coins to contact students, we feel it is not right to take a commission from earnings as well.

So why did we give this feature?

Many teachers requested this feature to:

Coin Price increase when paying in INR

For the last couple of years, the price for 50 coins was ₹50.
From September 25th, 2019, we are going to link the price of coins to USD. 
This will increase the price of 50 coins to approx ₹70. Also, the price will vary according to the USD-INR rate. 

Why I wrote this post? After I sent the email announcing the price increase, most people just bought coins in bulk. Others mailed us suggesting it’s wrong to increase the price - and we were violating their trust.

Why is there a wait time to apply to jobs

I have received hundreds of emails from premium members requesting early access to jobs.

We put a lot of time and effort to implement this feature. However, now we are getting emails from non-premium (but paid) members suggesting that the wait is unfair and we are somehow getting greedy.

Why did we do it the way we did?

Giving early access to premium members was obvious and fair. So the decision to give them early access was easy.

But..

All premium members are...

Why is my data showing up on Google

Google stores our website data like millions of other websites. We don’t have active control over what Google stores, and that data is not always up to date. However, you can request Google to remove a link using their Request removal tool.

Teachers If you have deleted/inactivated your teaching profile but it’s still showing up on google search, copy the link as is displayed in Google search results and request Google to remove it using Google url removals tool.

The honesty update

Hi, I am Arun, founder of teacheron.com

Ever since the inception of teacheron.com, I wanted to:

Give priority access and reduce the cost for teachers who pay. Serve people even if they don’t pay, because some people just can’t. Make it painfully difficult for spammers to bother teachers and students. Reward teachers for their honesty and civility. Also, pricing every job at 50 coins was wrong. Some jobs are not worth applying. Some jobs pay a lot. For eg., A Maths home tutoring...

How to get students and teaching jobs

I have been asked this question in million different ways. To be honest, it’s competitive. When you are competing for a single job with thousands of other teachers - especially for online teaching jobs, it’s difficult to stand out.

School of TeacherOn

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

Einstein Background While cycling back home, I saw people protesting about the astronomical fee structure and increasing (mandatory) donations of private schools. They wanted the fee to be regulated.

I started thinking to myself that they are called private schools for a reason. They can do whatever they want. Maybe I should open a school and do...

How not to teach - Examples of bad teaching

Some teachers are good, and others lack common sense. I hope this post serves as a guide for giving bad examples to make sure students don’t understand anything.
These are some of the bad examples I encountered as a student.

How not to teach exponents? Teacher:  This is how we solve exponents. (After some theory.. blah blah).. So to solve 22 we multiply two with itself twice which is 2*2 = 4. Does everyone understand how exponents work?

Students: Yeah. We get it.  22 = 2 x 2...
