Most of the websites I have shown above are based in India. There are many international websites that pay well for online tutoring jobs. However, their process of application is lengthy and a bit difficult.
I recommend you go with these websites when you have good experience in online teaching. With your experience, you can earn more from these websites.
They take more time to approve you as an online tutor. Some of those US/UK-based popular online tutoring sites are:
16. Tutor.com
17. Tutorme.com
18. MyTutor24
19. Brainfuse
20. Skooli
All the online tutoring websites I have listed are in one place. But the cherry on the cake is still to come. And here it is:
So, the cherry on the cake is ENGLISH.
Here, I have listed down the websites where you can get handsome money by teaching English or any language to students.
English is the most demanding language of all time. Its fashion and passion will never fade.
People of India or other countries where English is not the mother tongue (like China, Japan, and Korea) face problems learning international languages.
They recruit teachers from all over the world who have a good command of the English language and are fluent in speaking English.
You can easily get recruited if you have expertise in this language or any other foreign language.
I have also listed one Indian Website, Ufaber, where you can teach the English language or take speaking English classes.
1. TheFluentlife.com
TheFluentLife is a firm founded by IIT entrepreneurs. They will provide you with teaching material, and you have to take live video classes one-on-one through Skype or Zoom video calls.
Even if you are a college student, you can teach others.
You can teach Spoken English, business communication, etc. They have another website, Ufaber, where you can teach competitive exam courses like Gate, UPSC, and IELTS.
You can call them or email them to apply for a tutor.
2. Italki
Italki is a HongKong based company. Not only English, but you can also teach another foreign language on Italki if you have a good command over any language.
The best part of this international website is that you can also teach the Hindi language to students.
You have to create a video profile about your introduction and expertise in the language you want to teach. Based on that, students will pick you as a tutor. You will be paid for each session.
3. Fluentify
Fluentify is different from others. Because it strictly demands 2-year teaching experience and certification in the English language (TEFL Certificate).
However, if you have this, you can apply here because its remuneration is quite higher than other websites. Becoming a tutor on this website is a little tricky.
4. Preply
On PrePly, you can teach English, Hindi, and other foreign languages. This website does not demand experience to teach any language.
Here, you have to create your video profile, talk about yourself and your education qualification and knowledge of the language, etc., and upload it on the website.
They will give a rating on your video. On Preply, they also allow you to teach Math, computer, and other subjects.
However, it is mostly known for online language learning classes.
5. VIP kids
VIP Kids is a China-based firm. You can teach spoken English or basic school grade-level English to Chinese students.
After applying, you have to appear in their test or interview, and they will hire you when there is a vacancy.
All these five websites I have mentioned pay really well and are very genuine. You can earn upto 40,000 rupees from these websites within a few hours.
Working with these websites, one can quickly turn their passion into a profession and their spare time into a profitable one. So do not sit back and start earning right now.
