What is the best quality for an ESL Teacher online?

[Shavkat]

It may sound cliche, but the best quality is patience. It proves "patience is the virtue." I am sure that most virtual teachers can relate to this phrase. You can name all the possible scenarios that turn your world upside down when teaching those students who are rude. It takes a lot of patience to handle them, and I am speaking from my personal experience.

Even offline as a tutor or teacher you need patience to be able to get it right if you can then you can handle the job well and for a long time

First of all, you need to be an authority in the English Language. Also, you need to understand that you are not teaching native speakers and patience is necessary for them to catch up.

First, as any tutor or teacher online or offline you should be an authority in the subject matter so same here you should be good with English Language. You need to be good with communication

ESL teachers who will be working with children should have patience and be able to remain calm and fair. Like all teachers who teach English as our second language should have excellent communication and presentation skills.

You need to be resilient and compassionate teacher or else you'll lose a job. Students may report the teachers attitude to the school administration. Those who lack patience and compassion better do not teach.

You should understand English language to an extent that it will bring up effective communication between you and your learner's and it will help them to learn very fast
It will not be easy to have a teacher who does not understand English language
