Teaching English online is becoming a popular option for English native speakers and non-native speakers alike that are looking to earn a full-time income working from the comfort of their home, as well as those that simply wish to earn extra money in their spare time working part-time.
Instructors that teach English online set their own schedule, work as many or as little hours as they choose, and have the flexibility to work from anywhere that has a good internet connection!
Teaching English online jobs are perfect for stay-at home parents who need a stable income, new TESOL graduates who want to gain some teaching experience before going abroad, or expats who need a well-paying job while traveling abroad.
Why Teach English Online?
Work flexible hours from the comfort of your home and earn between US$500 to US$3000 a month depending on the hours that you choose to work. By setting your own hours as online English teacher, you will be able to gain full control of your life-work balance and eventually, you will learn to enjoy the shortest commute in the world!
You can start your online English teaching job even if you do not have any previous teaching experience. If you have a college or university degree, a good level of English, and a TESOL or TEFL Certificate, you can get an online teaching job starting at US$16-22/hour.
There are no minimum hours you have to work per week and you choose your own available time slots. You may choose to work 20 hours a week or 7 hours depending on your own preference
Teaching English online is also a great way for experienced ESL teachers in their home country or abroad to work extra part-time hours for up to $25/hour!

How to Teach English Online
How To Get Started Teaching English Online
While accepting a TEFL placement abroad is usually a fairly lengthy process complete with interviews, visa procedures, flight bookings, accommodation considerations, and, of course, packing up and moving your entire life to another country, teaching English online is a far more simple process.
But exactly how does someone start their online career? First, it’s important to decide which type of position best matches your goals and experience.
How To Prepare Your Resume For An Online ESL Teaching Job
As home-based online ESL teaching jobs become increasingly more common, companies are giving a lot of effort to recruit and screen new hires.
One of the first places this begins is with your resume.
Learn more about what you should be focusing on and highlighting in your ESL teacher resume so that it shines brighter than others!
Tips For Preparing For An Online ESL Teaching Interview
As online teaching has become increasingly more popular and convenient, the demand for good quality teachers is rising.
You can cover quality training with a certificate course from OnTESOL, but the interviewing part is something you’ll need to work on to get the job.
We’ve prepared a few tips below on how you can be better prepared for an interview with an online ESL company for a home-based ESL teaching position.
What Is The Right Certification For Teaching English Online?
The minimum TESOL / TEFL certification requirement to teach English online is a 120-hour TESOL Certificate; however, aiming for the minimum requirements is not the best option in terms of job opportunities and job satisfaction.
Most online English teaching jobs consist of teaching English to young kids in the range of 4-12 years old. The 120-hour TESOL course with the Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) specialization is highly recommended for online English teachers because you will get 20 extra hours of training with a special focus on the approaches that you should use when teaching English to children and teenagers.
Teaching English online presents different challenges and considerations versus teaching in a classroom setting. Our 20-hour Teaching English Online specialization course will prepare you for working for an online language school and also teach you the basics to design your online program and help you become your own boss
Why Choose OnTESOL?
Our online TESOL certificate courses are recognized by TESL Canada and ACTDEC UK and will prepare you for every stage in your career. Your OnTESOL certificate is your passport for teaching English anywhere in the world and it will open the doors for new opportunities.
As well as providing job placement assistance to those that wish to teach English online, we also provide job placement assistance to those that wish to teach English abroad! Learn more about job opportunities in the top ESL destinations for English teachers.
