The ultimate question is… Where to find online teaching jobs from home? Hundreds of thousands of teachers are making money from the comfort of their own homes. Teaching English online has never been easier. It seems that as each month passes, new online platforms keep springing up. This is creating more and more opportunities for online teachers.
When looking for an online ESL job, be weary of some of the shady recruiters popping up in the Facebook groups. Most of them just want an easy commission. It’s best to look at each school individually and see what’s right for you.
This is why I create job lists on eslwild.org
You can browse through the site and find loads of lists with different online companies hiring English teachers for online teaching from home. There are job listings for natives and non-natives and they include basic details as well as pay rates. Many of the Chinese companies have closed so you should always be cautious when looking into a Chinese school during this time.

This company is based in Japan and has a pretty cool concept. “Adventures” are zoom classes but completely different from traditional teaching. Instead of lessons, you interact with the kids without teaching, so they acquire English naturally. Adventures are based on games, your favorite sport, art, magic, lego or anything adventurous that you like to do. They are making an effort in making classes more exciting for young learners by allowing them to have fun with people all over the world. Pay depends on how many attendees join but with a guaranteed amount per adventure too. This works out to pay around $10-20 per 10-minute adventure.
