Many people choose to teach English online rather than in person. ESL teachers who work from home can earn more than those who work in an office with a long commute and long hours.

Many online teaching positions have simple requirements. You will find a job teaching English online whether you are a native English speaker or have a near-native accent.

Some online schools need a degree or teaching certificate like a TEFL. Because these colleges have a higher wage and offer a higher hourly rate, you will make extra money there.
