Even younger learners can benefit from learning this way and you’ll find that you don’t have any attention issues with pupils that can normally crop up in a classroom environment.

So, the question everyone wants to know – ‘how much can you really earn in an online English teaching job?’. In honesty, probably more than you think. It does all depend on which company you’re teaching through, how many students are in the sessions and how many times a week you’re teaching, and of course the more you put in, the more you’ll get out.
As a guide, we would suggest that you can typically earn the below:
General or conversational English – £10-£20+ per lesson
Business English – From £25-£35+ per lesson
Examination preparation – Around £20-£30+ per lesson
Job interview coaching – Around £15-£25+ per lesson
English lessons for specific nationalities – £10-£20+ per lesson
The short answer is, yes! You can still teach English online if you don’t have a degree.
Many employers will ask for a bachelor’s degree as a job requirement but not all will.
Otherwise, freelancing is another amazing option. You’ll have more freedom and you’ll be able to set your own rates. You will just need to set up a profile on a freelancing site or create your own website and wait for students to get in touch.
The bottom line is, if you don’t have a degree, don’t worry! There’s tons of learners out there who need your help and as long as you have a native-level of English or you’re fluent in English, you can teach English online.
