Now is a perfect time, as many companies are set up and established post-pandemic, and it&#8217;s easier to check out the good, the bad, and the ugly of online TEFL companies! There are many opportunities for teaching English online in 2025, and there is a lot of competition. This means you must have the right approach to successfully finding an online teaching job!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Why teach English online?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teaching English online in 2025 can give you much flexibility in your work. You can decide on your number of hours and what availability you have. If you prefer to work in the morning, you can look for a position in advertising classes this time. You can take control of your schedule and plan your lessons for the time that suits you best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have other commitments or even another job, online teaching works well, as you can find positions requiring just 10 hours of teaching a week. This is easy to do if you want to supplement your earnings with online education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever dreamed of spending a month in Rome? Or maybe a few weeks in Barcelona or Istanbul? Now, you can do this and continue earning while you travel. <a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/teach-english-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teaching English online<\/a> means that you can take your work with you and explore!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55884 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"online\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chris-montgomery-smgTvepind4-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><b>What sort of online TEFL jobs are available?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many different online teaching jobs advertised every day. It&#8217;s just about finding the right one for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>&#8211; ESL companies:<\/b> this is where a lot of the online TEFL work comes from. International companies hire teachers to teach their classes to students from all over the world. The company might specialise in one specific market &#8211; e.g. Latin America, China, so it&#8217;s good to check this to work out peak working hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>&#8211; Language schools:<\/b> As many students started learning online during the covid-19 pandemic, language schools now continue to offer online lessons for their students who prefer learning that way. These contracts will mean that you will have fixed hours and teach the same students each week. You would be expected to teach these classes for the term, so there is less flexibility, but it&#8217;s a more unique role than working for a more prominent company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>&#8211; Using platforms to advertise yourself as a teacher:<\/b> There are many platforms where you can promote your classes at the price you want, which is a significant advantage over company classes. This will help you find individual students for one-to-one classes. The platform typically takes a commission from all lessons booked via their page, so make sure you work this out when thinking about how much you might charge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>&#8211; Set up your students:<\/b> Once you&#8217;ve become more established, you might want to take the plunge and set up your own English teaching business. This involves taking an active role in marketing yourself as a teacher and finding your students. You might work with other teachers to teach you if it goes well! This is the most profitable way to teach English online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-80795\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Teach English Online\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Teach_English_Online_View.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><b>First step: get your TEFL qualification!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To teach online, you need a minimum of a <a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/course\/accredited-120-hour-tefl-course\/\">120-hour TEFL qualification<\/a>. If you already have experience teaching and a degree, then 120 hours could be the right course. However, suppose you don&#8217;t have a degree or any experience or are not a native English speaker. In that case, you might want to take a higher level qualification such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/course\/level-5-tefl-course\/\">Level 5 180-hour Diploma<\/a>, which will give you the most extensive training for TEFL online or in the classroom!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on who you want to teach, you might want to consider any extra courses you can do to set your CV apart from the others on the pile. For example, taking our 30-hour Young Learners specialist system is excellent if you want to teach young learners online. Our 60-hour Business English specialist course can help give you that extra knowledge if you&#8217;re thinking about teaching Business English classes online. Whatever the context you want to teach, our 60-hour Teaching Online and One-to-One course will prepare you to deliver the best English lessons online!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Writing your CV and cover letter<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, ensure your CV and a standard cover letter are ready. This can be time-consuming at first but will be worth it and make the application process much smoother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you can prepare your applications, remember that each should be personalised for the company or school you are applying for. If you send a generic cover letter that isn&#8217;t tailored to the job application or doesn&#8217;t even name the company, most employers will discard it. Preparing your cover letter based on the job description shows that you have paid attention to detail and have taken the time to prepare your letter. Check your spelling, grammar and even font size of the letter before you send anything! If you&#8217;re an English teacher with spelling mistakes in their cover letter, this doesn&#8217;t bode well!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s essential that your cover letter addresses the job requirements and why you hold the necessary skills for the role. Remember, you are telling your potential employer why you are the perfect fit for the job! Address what they are looking for directly and explain how your experience and qualities align with these job requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68750\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs.jpeg\" alt=\"Study TEFL\" width=\"992\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs.jpeg 992w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><b>Have the right attitude.\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re newly qualified and have no teaching experience, you must make sure you head into your job search with a cheerful &#8220;can-do&#8221; attitude. It&#8217;s better to make as many applications as possible, but ensure you take the time to do them well! This will increase your chances and give you more offers on the table for employment. The more options you have, the better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any other job field, sometimes you might start in a role that isn&#8217;t your dream job or that might be slightly lower pay than you would like. Everyone has to start somewhere! Remember that working for ESL companies online can be a great way to build up your experience, even if you do this for a year. After this, you will know your CV and be able to aim higher or find a higher-paid job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running your own business and finding your students isn&#8217;t something that will happen immediately, especially if you are new to teaching English online. It takes some experience and know-how. Once you&#8217;ve got a more practical idea of how online classes work and how to get students, you can start building up your student list. It&#8217;s always good to do this alongside more stable teaching for a company or a school until you&#8217;ve enough students to go solo!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Check the requirements\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each teaching company or school will have their requirements for their teaching positions. Make sure you check these thoroughly before you apply, or you might be wasting your time. Some conditions might be &#8220;preferred&#8221; or negotiable, such as speaking another language or having years of experience. If the company asks for three years and you have two years of experience, it might be worth applying anyway and selling yourself well! However, if the company requires a degree to teach and you don&#8217;t have this, then it&#8217;s probably not worth applying.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1184\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1184\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/job-1845954_640-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1184\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/job-1845954_640-2.png\" alt=\"words\" width=\"640\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/job-1845954_640-2.png 640w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/job-1845954_640-2-600x430.png 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/job-1845954_640-2-300x215.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1184\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">words<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>Finding Teaching English Online Jobs in 2025<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might be a long process to troll through all the sites every week looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.teflinstitute.com\/?ref=tie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TEFL jobs.<\/a> However, you need to put the work in to get something out of it. A popular site is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tefl.com\/job-seeker\/search.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TEFL.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are many job sites, so bookmark the ones you think are useful and update regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to find out what it&#8217;s like working for a specific TEFL company, there are lots of blogs available to give you the real low-down from former or current teachers. These can be incredibly useful for finding out things like availability and payment schedules but remember. They can be very biased. If a teacher has had a poor experience with a company, it might be a red flag for you. However, it could also be a one-off situation that shouldn&#8217;t stop you from applying to work for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Create a good impression in your interview.\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your application has impressed the employers and you&#8217;ve been invited to interview them, this is a great sign! Typically the more prominent companies will have already decided to employ you if they ask you to an interview and want to meet you &#8220;face-to-face&#8221; or check your internet speed! Be friendly and approachable, just as if you were meeting your students. Don&#8217;t forget to set up in a quiet space with a good internet connection, camera and microphone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is perfectly normal if you are asked to do a demo lesson or prepare a video! Put effort into this, as it will show your employers what you can do. You can demonstrate to them that you are a great teacher! Use <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jyvaJWb9X4M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube for masterclass demo lessons<\/a> or check online for people who have already been through the process with the company. You will find some good advice!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may seem like a lot of information, and it can be overwhelming to get started. Follow the simple steps, and this will make your job hunt easier. Remember to put effort into finding work; you will gain more out of the search!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Land Your First Online English Teaching Job in 2025 With the new year arriving, it might be time [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34856,"featured_media":85062,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[255,95,127,102],"tags":[65,68,69,52,99],"class_list":["post-89506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-jobs-advice","category-teaching-english","category-teaching-english-online","tag-teachenglish","tag-teflenglishteacher","tag-teflqualification","tag-accredited-tefl-courses","tag-onlinetefl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v24.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Teaching English Online in 2025 - How to land your first teaching job? &#8211; TEFL Institute of Ireland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you interested in teaching English online in 2025?
