A virtual teacher is an educator who teaches online classes. As a virtual teacher, you may work as part of a traditional school or an online-only institution. Your duties are similar to those of an in-person teacher and include preparing for your classes, managing your online “classroom”, holding lectures or seminars, grading homework, and giving exams to your students. Virtual teachers can work in K-12 public schools, community colleges, traditional or online colleges, or even at education startups that provide distance learning for their users.
