This figure depends on a variety of factors including your qualifications, previous experience and the organization you work for. However, a typical hourly rate for online English teachers can range anywhere from $15 and $30.

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.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) is essentially any situation where an English speaker, either native or non-native, teaches the English language to other non-native English speakers. This scenario is probably played out in every single country worldwide as the status of English as the number one second language is unrivaled in most regions.
A wide variety of people from all backgrounds choose to teach English in an equally wide range of environments and situations.
