I’ve got something exciting to share with you — if you’re looking to make some extra cash (or even turn it into a full-time gig), teaching languages online is seriously worth considering. It’s flexible, rewarding, and you can do it from anywhere. Plus, if you love the idea of helping others learn, you’ll find it’s one of the best ways to earn money on your own terms.

First off, the flexibility of this job is one of the best perks. Imagine being able to set your own hours. Want to teach in the morning? Cool. Prefer evenings? That works too. You get to decide how much you want to work, whether that’s a few hours a week or full-time. It’s the freedom that a lot of traditional jobs don’t offer you. Just remember, you might be teaching students in different time zones, so you’ll need to be a little flexible with your schedule if you want to maximise your bookings and consequently, maximise your earnings. The more time slots you fill in as available, the more students you can take on. But note, don’t overdo it so you don’t burnout!

I will advise that you don’t rely on just one platform. There are a lot of platforms out there that you can sign up to teach — iTalki, Cambly, Preply, and others. You need to spread your chances. Some platforms are quite oversaturated, especially if you’re teaching a popular language like English…
