Teach English Online to Brazilian Students

Teach Brazilian Students: Top Companies

Here are the top companies you can work for to teach English online to Brazilian students. If you are interested in helping Brazilian students learn English, there are quite a few options. Cambly and Latin Hire are the best, in my opinion.

Why do Brazilian students want to study English?

English is still not a popular language in comparison to Spanish, German, and Italian. According to the British Council, In 2019 only 5% of Brazil’s population spoke English.

 

#1 Cambly

If you want to teach English to Brazilian students then Cambly is a good company for you. Cambly caters to students all around the world, but there is a large audience of Brazilian students. If you open your schedule during peak hours in Brazilian, you will receive many Brazilian students. You can go further and cater your profile primarily to Brazilian students, too, to build and Brazilian student base.
