Choosing an Online English Teaching Platform
There is no one way to teach English online, there are programs where the teacher doesn't have to do much aside from showing up given that the lessons are pre-planned like with Qkids and VIPKid, which I'll call company-centered programs because the company sets the curriculum. While other programs, such italki, and Palfish, rely on teacher-created lesson plans, which may be more stressful for the teacher, but ultimately are a great boon for the students they teach as the lessons can be tailored to each student, I'll refer to them as teacher-centered programs because of that. Each has its merits and I will discuss some of them here for you now.

Do you need a degree to teach online?
The good news is that you do not need a degree to teach English online in many situations. We will expand on this throughout this article.
The general qualification required to teach ESL either in person or online is a 120-hour TEFL or TESOL certification. This is seen as the entry level qualification and is usually required by most employers.
Other qualities they will be looking for include, in no particular order:
(i) Experience:
Any formal teaching experience is highly regarded by employers. This may be just a few hours from your TEFL training with real classes, or volunteering at a summer school for example. The more your experience matches the type of teacher they are looking for (such as children or adult teaching) the better. Make sure your C.V... [Read more]
