How to make money Teaching English Online in 2024

You have to teach online and help you decide if it's the right fit for you. Option one. First, let's talk about online ESL companies like Angoo, Cambly, and OpenEnglish.

These companies provide you with a curriculum and you get paid hourly. To work for these companies, you'll typically need to be a native or fluent non native speaker of English with a neutral accent, have a Tefl certificate, and have a computer with a webcam, headset, and microphone. Some companies may also require a bachelor's degree and previous teaching experience. 

Option two. Another option is online teaching marketplaces like Out

School, All School, and Itaki. On these platforms, you create and list your own classes to attract students. You can choose to specialize in a specific niche or subject.

 This option is more flexible and allows you to charge more per hour, but you'll need to be comfortable creating your own classes and market yourself. Option three. Finally, you can also choose to teach online as a freelancer. This requires solid teaching and business skills, but offers the most freedom in terms of scheduling and what you want to teach.

You get to choose the students you work with and charge your worth. Now that you know the different options, let's determine if online teaching is a good fit for you. If you have a passion for teaching, enjoy exchanging cultures, and have excellent teaching skills, then online teaching could be a great career path.

Keep in mind that enrollments can fluctuate, so it may not be a stable income source. If you're new to teaching, start by getting your DEFL certificate and applying to online ESL companies. As you gain experience, you can move on to the other options.
