Job Details

You did the work. The diploma, the TEFL, the real hours in front of real learners. So why does teaching still mean long commutes, overcrowded classrooms, and a paycheck that never quite reflects the effort?

Here's a different version of the job. Same skills, same passion — but now from your own home, on a schedule you build yourself, earning in US dollars.

This company is looking for qualified, South Africa-based English teachers to teach young learners online. If you're energetic, love working with young learners, and want your qualifications to finally count for something — keep reading.

Position Details:

  • Start Date: Immediate, upon completion of recruitment and onboarding
  • Location: 100% remote — must be based in South Africa
  • Students: Young learners aged 4–16, based in China, proficiency A1–C1
  • Class Type: One-on-one and one-on-two (max two learners per class)
  • Language of Instruction: English
  • Platform: ClassIn
  • Rate: US$6.50 per hour
  • Class Duration: 25 minutes (regular); 21–25 minutes (demo)
  • Contract Type: Independent Contractor (remote)
  • Hours: Minimum 14 hours per week, within the teaching window of 12:00–15:30 SAST (18:00–21:30 BJT), Monday to Sunday. You decide how to spread your hours — up to a maximum of six days a week.
  • Bookings: Hours run on student bookings rather than fixed guaranteed hours. Reliable teachers with regular students tend to build steady, recurring schedules.

Additional Benefits

What's In It For You:

  • US$6.50 per hour, paid in USD — real earning power against the rand
  • 100% remote — no commute, no classroom chaos, just you and your laptop
  • Regular students — your learners stay with you over time, so you build genuine relationships and actually get to watch them grow
  • You own your schedule — distribute your hours however suits your life
  • Short, punchy 25-minute classes that keep both you and your young learners switched on
  • Free professional development via Inspire Academy, their e-learning platform stacked with certified and non-certified courses for online educators
  • Real onboarding and real support — you'll never be thrown in the deep end
  • A genuine community through their Evolve Program, built around teacher wellness and connection

  • Completed tertiary qualification in any field
  • Accredited 120-hour TEFL, TESOL, CELTA or equivalent certification
  • Minimum 1 year of teaching experience
  • Clear, effective spoken English
  • A consistent weekly availability you can genuinely commit to — this client values a stable schedule, not week-to-week chopping and changing

The Teacher Who Thrives Here:

  • Warm, friendly, and encouraging with a naturally positive attitude
  • Patient and empathetic, especially with younger and beginner learners
  • A clear communicator who's organised and manages time well
  • Adaptable, calm under pressure, and a confident problem-solver
