The cool thing about this company is that you can teach up to 10 students or more online at one time. For those of us that have taught online, you realize the profit potential.

If it's your first time teaching online, use this as an example:
Option 1: You teach one student online for one hour and make $10. Total = $10
Option 2: You teach 10 students online for one hour and make $10 per student = $100
(It would take you 10 hours to make the same money if you did the traditional way of teaching online!)
