ESL Jobs Hiring Now

There are a lot of ESL jobs hiring now, but you have to find the best fit for you. Especially since the new Chinese regulations, there aren’t as many high-paying jobs in the online English teaching sector. Still, there are always companies like Cambly and Engoo that are hiring.

Top Online ESL Companies: Pros and Cons

In general, every ESL company has its pros and cons. Companies vary by pay, their target student audience, their scheduling requirements, and more. There used to be a great opportunity to earn $20 an hour minimum teaching students in China, but those times are gone sadly unless you are interested in freelancing.

Cambly is by far the easiest to apply to (no interview or demo class needed, just sign up). You teach adults (or kids on Camblykids) for $10.20/hr and can pop on and off and teach whenever you want. You have an extremely flexible schedule on Cambly.
