Four levels of "teacher" in the world of online teaching: From conscientiousness to manipulation

The world of online teaching is booming with countless courses and "teachers" teaching. However, not everyone brings real value to students. Here are the four levels of "teacher" you can encounter, from dedicated people to psychological manipulators of practitioners.

Level 1: Dạy xong block

This is the lowest level of an online teacher. They simply provide the course content, not caring if the student actually understands the lesson or not. After the course is over, they will block all contact with students, do not assist in answering questions or providing additional materials.

Level 2: Selling ingredients, inserting affiliate links

At this level, the teacher does not only stop at teaching but also takes advantage of the opportunity to sell more materials, tools or products related to the course. They often insert affiliate links into resources such as hosting, domains, etc. to eat lifetime commissions from students' purchases. They even use this sales data to advertise and attract new students.

Level 3: Turn students into "collaborators"

Teachers at this level not only want to make money from selling courses, but they also want to turn students into "collaborators" who sell to them. They often call on students to join the affiliate program, promote the course to receive a commission. It's worth mentioning that it doesn't matter if the course content is really quality or not, as long as money can be earned.

Level 4: Psychological manipulation, blaming students

This is the most dangerous level of an online teacher. They not only teach but also manipulate the psychology of students. When students do not achieve the expected results, they will blame the students for lack of effort, not smart enough... Despite the fact, it may be due to their teaching methods not being effective. They have even created a loyal community of "disciples", ready to defend and attack anyone who criticizes them.

Conclude

Choosing a reputable and caring online teacher is very important. You should learn about the teacher carefully, consider the reviews and feedback of students before deciding to participate in the course. Stay away from teachers who show signs of psychological manipulation, blame students, or are only interested in making money.
