Best Platforms to Earn Money Teaching Online |

If you’re ready to get started with your online teaching journey, or even if you already teach online, there are multiple options to choose from until you are ready to venture out and develop your own platform. There are a number of different online platforms to choose from, and some overlap in the services they provide, their target audience, and their teaching criteria. To help simplify these options, there will be four primary sections.

Tutoring

There are sites where you list your independent services and sites where you are matched with students live.

Online Schools

Think homeschool programs. These typically require a license or certification in the state.

Teaching Websites

You are able to list your courses. Licenses and certificates aren’t typically required.

ESL

These sites can include options where you list your services, services where you are matched with a client, and those with pre-made curriculum. Different platforms vary on need for certifications and/or experience.

Tutoring

*Some of these sites allow you to post your services and set your own prices while others provide a base pay.

Online Schools

Pro-tip: Search ‘online public schools’ by state for different programs.

A license or certification is typically needed for these positions.

ESL

Pro-Tip: Search by region for alternative ESL programs. Check sites like Dave’s ESL Cafe and market your services through posts rather than just job listings.

Build your website (WordPress, Wix, Square)
Choose your plugins (example: WpCourseware)
