Online Teaching Jobs for Natives and Non Natives

ESL WILD is back again with another list of online teaching jobs! You can find online teaching jobs for native speakers and non native speakers here. If you don’t find anything suitable on this list, don’t forget to check out the rest of the articles. We have loads of lists compiled with all the online teaching opportunities HERE. 

The Reality of Online Teaching right now

My wonderful teaching friends and companions… We all know the market is rather saturated as of now but don’t worry. As you can see, more and more companies are coming out each month and replacing the Chinese market. Online teaching jobs are all over the world.

However, there is an unfortunate reality. Most companies that are replacing the Chinese ones are not paying nearly as well. Some are decent but you will stumble across others that are straight-up exploiting teachers like internet slaves to the business. 

These kinds of cheap business tactics are what’s causing the industry to crash in competitive pricing. Once you’ve been around long enough, you’ll soon notice that a lot of these online companies treat it like it’s a used car dealership as they sling recruiters through Facebook groups offering peanuts for pay to desperate teachers trying to find work. 

It’s a struggle now but there are still some opportunities out there.

What you need to teach English online

TEFL Certificate

Remember… Native speaker or non native speaker, having a TEFL certificate will always put you ahead in the industry. Even if a company doesn’t require a TEFL, teachers with a TEFL will generally be moved to the front of the list of candidates because they have proved to have put forth the effort to become more qualified. 

Good Internet speed

Some companies have requirements for how fast your internet speed should be in order to work with them. Make sure you have a stable and reliable internet connection with a quiet workspace around you. 

Create a self-introduction video

Many companies require a self-introduction video for first-time teachers of the company. This is becoming more and more regular for online teaching companies nowadays. It’s important to remember that even if they don’t require a video you can still send a quality intro video with your CV to increase your chances of being hired. Just make sure it’s professional on all accounts. 

Here are some of the things you should mention

• Your full name
• Where you’re from and your educational background
• Why do you love teaching English?
• Your relevant experiences
• Past teaching jobs, experiences with student age, subject, etc.

Tips for creating an efficient introduction video

• Speak clearly and don’t speak too quickly
• Dress professionally and speak with confidence and conviction
• Show energy and passion (This lets them know how you may be seen in a classroom environment)
• Decorate the area behind you (Have a decent classroom vibe for aesthetics)
• Make sure the vid has proper lighting
• Record in a quiet place

JP English

Non Natives accepted

This company provides 25-minute classes to Japanese learners. All classes will be conducted via Skype. If I’m being honest, I think they will have some pretty despicable pay. They claim to pay up to $800 per month but I also read that they want teachers to work 8 hour days. That’s going to be a pretty low hourly rate. But if you really need a job, you can apply.
