There’s nothing worse than receiving your long-awaited pay check and then losing a chunk of it to annoying fees. Because most online English teaching companies are based in countries different from their teachers (mostly China), getting your money can be a little tricky.

So, you’re interested in teaching English online.  Maybe you are a bricks-and-mortar teacher who wants to supplement their income with a little side hustle.  Maybe you teach ESL in a foreign country and want to make some extra cash in the evenings and on weekends. Or, you have returned home looking for a reliable and flexible revenue source. 

One of the hot topics of the online English teaching world these days is the idea of teaching for multiple companies. 

Some people see it as a betrayal to the company that first hired them and would much rather put their time and energy into one thing.  Others view it as a smart choice for maximizing their options and furthering their online English teaching career.
