If you are reading this you must be interested in learning how to make money as a freelance English teacher so let's take a few moments to look at how to get this business up and running. The good news is you are not required to have a teaching license or a university degree, if you have these credentials then you can charge a higher fee for your services but if you do not have these paper qualifications it is not a big deal. The majority of the students who will participate in these online tutoring classes will be from countries like China, Russia and South Korea. The students from these countries want to learn from a native English speaker so you need to be from countries like Canada, U.S.A. Australia and the United Kingdom, While countries like the Philippines speak English they do not fully appreciate the nuances of North American or U.K. English like someone who studied in that country.

Since these students are overseas you will be asked to teach them during traditional classroom hours in their home country so if you are in New York City and your students are in Shenzen China you are 12 hours behind your students. This time difference is very beneficial if you are working a day job and want to augment your income with this freelance work.

How Are The Classes Conducted?

You have the option of either one on one teaching or dealing with a group. The benefit of a group setting is you can charge more per hour since the costs are spread between multiple students but you will also have to modify your curriculum to meet the needs of these students. Speaking of curriculum if you are going through an online agency that finds students for you they will usually provide you with the necessary training materials but if you are sourcing for students on your own you teaching materials but don't worry there are free training resources available on the Internet if you do some research. Most of your students will either use Skype or WeChat so you will need to install this chat software on your computer and make sure your Internet connection is fast enough to sustain a video conference call.

How Much Money Can A Person Make

It really depends on how you are prospecting for your students. In Shenzen China for example a North American born English speaker with a degree can earn anywhere from $25-$100 USD per hour depending on the student but the average is around $10 per hour. Now $10 per hour may not sound like much but once you establish a base of satisfied students you can arrange group teaching sessions here you can charge more hour or provide value added services. These value added services could include creative writing classes. We are only scratching the surface but you can see there is an opportunity to make money teaching English online you just need to seize it.
