About

This is an online tutoring marketplace connecting qualified English tutors with students worldwide. Their goal is to give tutors greater control over their teaching business, prices, schedules, and student relationships.

Unlike traditional tutoring marketplaces, they charge 0% commission on recurring lessons. Tutors keep 100% of what they earn from their regular classes.

Role Overview

They are looking for professional, reliable, and enthusiastic freelance English tutors to deliver high-quality online lessons through their platform.

Tutors work independently, set their own availability and lesson prices, and manage their own students while using the company's booking, payment, classroom, calendar, and progress-tracking tools.

You will be responsible for:

  • Delivering engaging and personalised online English lessons.
  • Teaching students according to their level, goals, interests, and learning needs.
  • Preparing appropriate lesson materials and learning activities.
  • Creating clear learning objectives and structured lesson plans.
  • Providing General English, Business English, conversation, or exam-preparation lessons according to your experience.
  • Assessing students’ current English level and identifying areas for improvement.
  • Tracking student progress and updating learning goals where required.
  • Providing students with constructive feedback after lessons.
  • Maintaining accurate availability on your calendar.
  • Managing lesson bookings, cancellations, and rescheduling professionally.
  • Joining scheduled lessons on time and remaining available for the full lesson duration.
  • Responding to student messages within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Maintaining a professional, welcoming, and supportive teaching environment.
  • Encouraging students to continue with regular lessons and work towards long-term learning goals.
  • Following safeguarding, cancellation, payment, and professional conduct policies.
  • Keeping all bookings and payments made through the company platform.
  • Completing Stripe Connect payment onboarding before your tutor profile can become visible to students.

  • A minimum 120-hour TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, or equivalent teaching qualification.
  • English proficiency of at least B2 level.

  • A stable internet connection.
  • A computer or laptop with a working camera and microphone.
  • A quiet and suitable environment for online teaching.
  • The ability to prepare structured and engaging lessons.
  • Confidence using online teaching platforms and digital learning materials.

Previous online teaching experience is preferred but not essential for suitably qualified applicants.
