Not a fantastic hourly rate, but handy if you're stuck at home I suppose.

Looks interesting. I can talk for England, so could be good!

Have signed up, hope I hear from them soon.

Do you communicate with the pupils via e-mail or would they be phoning your home?

I like the idea though, could follow through.

Hi, I was also wondering if anyone followed through with this, and if not, why not - ie, not worth it. I downloaded the software, and was then asked to call the operator. I didn't get round to doing that, and somehow then lost track.
So if anyone has any information, could you share, please.

Thanks

I don't know what their business model is, but I believe there's a similar site now which puts you in contact with foreign language speakers who want to learn english, for free on both sides. might put a dent in their market.

anyone know the one i'm thinking of?

i signed up with this and no one ever got in touch when i was online to speak to me!

Found it. Haven't tried it but I might give it a go - free. Bit of a dent in the Guardian's business plan.
