Every Online ESL Company Ever
This is a comprehensive list of every online English as a Second Language (ESL) company.
I included old and new, big and small, good and bad online ESL companies.
Some of these may no longer exist, but I have listed them in case they return.
If you want to teach English online and think you have applied to every company, I assure you that you haven’t. Try the ones below.

The big players (VIPKid, iTutorgroup, Cambly, and so on) often dominate the teacher recruitment campaigns. Working for a smaller, lesser-known company might offer benefits.
Teach for smaller online ESL companies
Next, try teaching for smaller online ESL companies. Remember, the amount of advertising you see from other teachers regarding a specific company has little relation to the value of that company. It has a lot of relation to the amount of money that the company offers current teachers to recruit other teachers.
This doesn’t mean that the most popular companies aren’t a great fit for many: they are! But, it does mean that some solid companies might fly under the radar because they simply do not recruit through current teachers. Their names won’t flood the market as the companies that are always hiring and offering bonuses to teachers who hire others.
Smaller companies might not constantly be hiring the way many of the large companies are, which also means there may be less staff turnover. Sometimes, seeing lots of advertisements for a company is not a good sign at all. If you want to work for a smaller company, then consider perusing this list.

What is Enlai Education Solutions?
You might have seen ads for Enlai Education Solutions and wondered, “Is Enlai Education Solutions legit?” Is Enlai Education Solutions a real company?
Note that Enlai Education Solutions is not an online school. They are a headhunting company for online English teachers. Once you apply and input your qualifications, Enlai Education Solutions matches you to an online school.
Smaller Company, Better Bookings
If you want to teach English online, do some research first. Don’t just sign up with the first company you hear of. Applying to a smaller company might mean better bookings because you are competing against fewer teachers. Of course, a smaller company might also disappear in a few years. The big companies are here to stay. Ultimately, it might benefit you to sign up for more than one. Perhaps working for a major company or a smaller company could be the best fit for you.
BOTTOM LINE: A lesser-known company might offer more opportunities.
Many of these employers have varying requirements for teachers. Some do not require a degree, while others may require a university degree, a CELTA/TEFL or TESL certificate, or some teaching experience. Don’t be discouraged. It is quite easy to obtain your TEFL.
If any company is missing from this list, please let me know. New ones are sprouting up all the time (while others go under, of course).
Happy teaching!
