Teach English Online 2021: 15 more places to teach English online
Everybody wants to work online nowadays! In all honesty, it’s the perfect time to do it. Teaching English online is one of the fastest growing markets out there. New online ESL companies pop up faster than Cinnabon Bakeries in strip malls. You might as well jump on the bandwagon and earn some money teaching English online from home. Why not?
As long as you have a smartphone, laptop, headset, and a good internet connection, you can teach English online with no problem.
It’s good to remember a few things before you get started
Make sure you have a TEFL certification. Although not all online ESL companies require it, most of them do! It goes a long way when you are applying to teach English online. It shows that you have made an initiative to qualify yourself in the ESL field and you are ready to start teaching English online.
What type of students do you want to teach?
Teaching English online provides you with many choices. You can easily apply for many online ESL companies and they will usually provide lesson plans and material but if you find your own students to teach English online to, you can double the money by teaching something more specific.
Teach online English Debate classes-I did this and have six students per class. Three on each team and you can charge per student. That can make you up to $100+ an hour. I would suggest reading this if you are interested in finding your own students.
Teach online English TOEFL or IELTS classes-Many students want to study abroad and they need to pass certain tests in order to do so. The most common tests are the TOEFL and IELTS.
Teach online Business English-There are many companies now that have adults who want to learn and practice English. Most of them are business professionals so the market is widening for those potential clients. Of course, if you are hired through a company the pay will not be as good. If you can set up a Fiverr or Upwork and promote yourself as an Online Business English teacher, you can set your own price and time.
