Teaching English online has really taken off in the past few years, and it is now possible to earn up to £20 per hour from the comfort of your own home. However, because many of the larger companies only employ North American native English speakers, it can be difficult to find the right company to work for. Below we look at 3 of the best options that are open to UK residents.
DaDaABC is one of the biggest and most professional companies connecting online English teachers to Chinese children who are studying English. Although their interview process is quite rigorous, if you are successful you can work 3-20 hours per week for up to £20 per hour, which is one of the best deals at the moment.

Italki is an online marketplace which connects online teachers with interested students – of all languages. You set your own rate of pay and choose when and who you want to teach. However, there are many other teachers, so it may be difficult to attract students at first. If you are not yet qualified as an EFL teacher you can sign up to become a ‘community tutor’ which is generally for less pay, but the lessons will be more conversational.
You can read more about the company from a student’s perspective in our Italki Review.
