you’ll get paid about the same, so trial and error and find out which one is the easiest platform for you to use and provides the greatest compensation.
I’d suggest one of the apps where you can talk to people on the phone conversationally so you get used to acting and sounding like a teacher before you jump into one-on-one tutoring or group teaching kids on the laptop, which might pay a little more but might be more work.
Go through the lists and see which ones sound good to you, they all function a little bit differently but fundamentally the same so you might find one that suits you better.
I love talking about this stuff all the time, but especially while I’m traveling and see a meme like this that posits a lack of alternatives to the struggle of surviving in the United States specifically, I feel it necessary to just let people know that there are ready, low-barrier alternatives.
yes.
College degrees are nice but not necessary, I would suggest getting TEFL certificate, teaching English as a Foreign Language.
It’s an online PDF course, that lasts the rest of your life it is greatly influential and how much you get paid for teaching English.
you have to make sure the tefl course is internationally accredited.
Full circle is internationally accredited and is almost perpetually on sale on groupon.
right now it’s $30 for the course on Groupon.

it took me 4 days of a few hours a day reading at PDF and taking the tests on the full circle website.
It’s the program I recommend to anyone interested in teaching English.
it might take a few weeks if you have less free time
as for teaching english, there are so many websites, Just find whichever one looks the least burdensome that has high reviews from teachers.
If you have a laptop, these ones:

If you only have a phone, these ones:
