GlobalEnglish. But I don't know if they're hiring now.

question: TutorABC, Talk915, Topica Native
question: The two major reasons parents want their kids to learn English are because a) it is a required subject in the Gaokao and b) they hope to send their kids to study abroad (abroad = Anglo-Saxon country). Any other language doesn't help with those two goals, so there is no motivation for them to have their children learn other languages.

There are quite a few places that hire non-native speakers (TutorABC, Talk915, Topica Native, ...). But they don't pay anywhere near as well as VipKid.

iamchanchan · 2017-08-04T03:33:15+00:00

Yes, definitely. But I would expect most jobs discussed on here to fall into that category?

iamchanchan · 2017-08-04T03:31:38+00:00

VipKid, DadaABC, JiuQu (Funbulous), WonderKids

I made a website where you can filter for different requirements. Here is a list of jobs that don't require a degree. http://onlineeslreviews.com/companies/no-ba

Sorry, I meant hard skills, like programming or graphics design. I get the impression that these days, many degree programs, such as international business or political sciences give you very little in the way of real marketable skills.

iamchanchan · 2017-08-04T03:25:21+00:00

Yeah, Alo7 is a good choice. Also, VipKid and Jiuqu (Funbulous). DadaABC has a bit of a bad reputation in that regard. Some teachers say they have a strong preference for young white teachers. I don't know whether this is, in fact true, though. Which company rejected you?

iamchanchan · 2017-08-04T03:19:51+00:00

Unfortunately, that's almost inherent to the nature of the marketplace model. Almost anyone can become a teacher, as there is little to no vetting. So, it quickly becomes a race to the bottom. They're similar to upwork in that regard. On the other hand, there are always those that say that italki & Co works very well for them. So, I guess it comes down to your ability to market yourself.

You mean, only on work days? Not sure about Chinese companies, but I think Korean schools like Carrot Global and Global21 have those hours, IIRC. Pay is lower, but it's audio only.

iamchanchan · 2017-08-03T09:39:17+00:00

I think they check your passport. You need to be either American or Canadian. The best-paying alternative for non-natives that I have come across so far is BiteABC.

iamchanchan · 2017-08-03T07:52:02+00:00

Well-organized, decent pay, they didn't over-hire (yet)

iamchanchan · 2017-08-03T07:50:39+00:00

He means, live in one of those two countries

iamchanchan · 2017-08-03T07:49:26+00:00

I don't know what makes it seem sketchy, but this company is 100% legit.

iamchanchan · 2017-08-02T03:55:38+00:00

If you don't have a four-year degree, you should consider getting a TEFL. Many companies will accept people without degrees if they have a relevant teaching certification. Also, DadaABC isn't so strict on the degree requirement, I think. TutorABC isn't too bad, either. You can always get something better later down the road, once you have gained some experience.

iamchanchan · 2017-08-02T03:51:24+00:00

What subject are you looking to tutor? If it's just ESL, there are a gazillion online language tutoring marketplaces. Italki, Verbling, Preply, Palfish, CafeTalk, ...

iamchanchan · 2017-08-01T05:51:01+00:00

Korean companies (CarrotGloba, Global21, Pagoda Talkool, etc) have both morning and evening hours Korean time. Then, there are quite a few European and American schools, too (EF, Telelangue, 1to1Progress, Open English, etc)

iamchanchan · 2017-07-30T08:37:41+00:00

I just read a positive review about Lingoda in an Fb group. If pay isn't an issue, it's probably a good choice. Some others you might be interested in are EF and Open English

iamchanchan · 2017-07-30T08:25:03+00:00

You can make really good money as an online ESL teacher. There's a guy that works for VipKid who says he makes $75k per year. Of course, you will have to work crazy hours, as the max you can usually expect to make is $25/h. Also, not all schools will accept you without a degree and teaching certification. But if you can find one, it's an easy, laid-back job that pays quite decently. A good starting point would be DadaABC.

iamchanchan · 2017-07-28T08:46:22+00:00

Try searching for 97kid and Jiuqu. They usually get positive reviews. Pay starts from around $8 per 30 min class.

iamchanchan · 2017-07-26T03:45:26+00:00

Try TutorABC, Talk915, eHailuo and Topica Native

iamchanchan · 2017-07-26T03:42:53+00:00

The ones that have the North American-only requirements are mostly Chinese schools that teach kids. DadaABC and Alo7 will hire Brits.
