Teaching English Online

Teaching online has the real potential to offer you stable employment. It can be a great way to boost your income!

So, how does teaching online work?

As an English teacher, you´ll teach non-native English speakers via the internet. Your students could be children or adults learning one to one or in small groups. You can arrange your own teaching schedule to suit your particular circumstances or lifestyle.

For instance, you may simply offer general conversational English. Here you’ll assist students with their vocabulary and fluency or be involved in correcting basic errors. Furthermore, you could focus specifically on teaching business English. In this case, you’ll cover business proposals, business plans, writing emails, giving presentations and suchlike. Moreover, you may find yourself assisting students with examination preparation. Additionally, you may certainly be providing some free classes or trial English lessons which will help your students get to know you before committing to future paid classes.

What are the educational requirements?

In most cases, if you have an English teaching certificate and you are a fluent English speaker, you are good to go. Most companies will require that you have a Bachelor´s degree, but there are some exceptions. Also, some companies may explicitly require native English speakers whereas some others may also only accept teachers from North America.

What are the software requirements?

Skype or Zoom may be required as a teaching platform, however, most companies have their own Learning Management Systems.

Do I prepare the lessons?

Some companies may provide the lesson plans for you and some companies may expect you to generate your own lesson plans.

How do I set-up my Virtual Classroom?

You may want to include some supplementary items and tools to complement your online English lessons. These may include markers and a whiteboard, flashcards, hand puppets, puzzle, warmers and fillers and so forth. Another important aspect of creating a welcoming learning environment is to prepare a great online virtual classroom background.

What are the hardware requirements?

The start-up costs for teaching English online are relatively low. This is because you probably already have most of the equipment you´re likely to need. Firstly, you´ll need either a laptop or desktop computer. In some cases, you can actually use a smartphone. Secondly, you´ll need both reliable and high-speed internet. Thirdly, you´ll need either a headset or a good computer microphone.

How much can I earn?

Your earning potential will depend on the company you are working for. Some companies offer a flat hourly rate, whereas others allow you to set your own rates. In general, you can expect to earn anything from ten dollars to forty dollars per hour depending on experience, qualifications and the company you are working for. Most online companies will pay you either via PayPal or Payoneer. You can easily get set-up with one of these companies in a matter of minutes.
