    Hi, I recently moved back home after teaching English in Vietnam for three and a half years.
    I want to start teaching English online. Does anyone know a good company and how much can I expect to be paid per hour?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    I'm looking for information on the same thing. Did you find out anything about it?

    I'd recommend going on Online ESL Job Reviews group on FB and seeing what has the best wage currently. Covid really affected the job market and there was far more teachers online for a while there, which meant companies saw this as an opportunity to decrease wages across the board.

    I taught with a company called Dada for a few years and began on about €18 an hour and then over the course of time it went down to about €14. At the same time I took a few shifts at Palfish which was about €12-16 based on how much you worked. Shifts earned points which would put you up into a higher earning bracket. Dada was computer based, but Palfish was on mobile/tablet. Palfish was much easier to teach on, more fun and kind of addictive. But Dada you had actual long term learning goals, really built up relationships with your kids, set homework - it was a far more traditional format.

    Generally weekdays you would be teaching 10am-2pm for 30 min classes and you could work more or less 5am to 5pm on Sat/Sun. Students normally book you for 2 classes a week. Most places you have to work a minimum of 4 hours.

    I taught online for 2 years and really liked it. When I ended the job with Dada I had had some students for the full 2 years... and there was tears. Still chat to the families on wechat occasionally. You'd be surprised how much you bond with your students!

    Hope that helps!

    Two younger relations, were finishing their degrees this summer, with the plan to take a year out and travel, they are both polyglots, but wanted to try teaching english abroad (brush up on or learn a new language) before coming home to do education postrgads and become teachers, one of them really wants to be a teacher (teaches piano, does some zoom classes during covid) the other wanted to try teaching english to see if it was her. The pandemic has scuppered their plans.

    There seems to be a lot of ESOL or TEFL courses being advertised so as you can teach online are any of them up to much?

    Do you need a tefl course to do the online thing? or if you have degree in english is it enough?
