🧑🎓 2. Conversational English with Adults
Some platforms connect you with university students or professionals who want to improve their speaking skills.

What You’ll Need
Besides your TEFL certification from myTEFL (which we’ve got you covered on), here’s what most online employers ask for:
- A decent laptop or desktop
- Headset with a mic
- Stable internet connection
- A quiet, well-lit workspace
- A friendly, confident attitude
Some companies might ask for a bachelor’s degree or teaching experience, but there are also plenty that don’t—especially if you’re certified with myTEFL and show up prepared.
A Day in the Life of an Online TEFL Teacher
Let’s say you’re teaching online from a co-working space in Lisbon:
- 8:00 AM: Coffee in hand, you log in to your platform and teach two back-to-back 25-minute classes to kids in China.
- 9:00 AM: Break time. Answer emails, take a walk.
- 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: A couple of adult conversational classes with students in Brazil and Korea.
- Afternoon: Free to explore, surf, study, nap, or work on your side hustle.
And the best part? You’re still getting paid!
Real Talk: How Much Can You Earn?
While it varies based on your experience, the company, and the hours you choose to work, most myTEFL grads start out earning $10–$25 USD/hour. Some platforms even offer bonuses or raises based on performance.
Once you get some experience or niche down (like teaching business English or test prep), your earning potential grows—fast.
