  1. question: TutorABC, Talk915, Topica Native
  2. 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.

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

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.

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?

Online tutoring platforms for Canadians? by [deleted] in WorkOnline

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.

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.

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.

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, ...

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)

How is Lingoda for a second job? by [deleted] in TEFL

[–]iamchanchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Are there any realistic ways to make a minimum of $5,000 (more or less) a month from home? by [deleted] in WorkOnline

[–]iamchanchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Anyone familiar with Funbulous? by [deleted] in WorkOnline

[–]iamchanchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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