ESL Smartphone Apps: Teach and Earn
Earning is no longer exclusive for employees working in an office and/or workers carrying out services for customers/clienteles. Earning is already possible by the internet and creative entrepreneurs outside of these typical scenarios.
What made these entrepreneurs creative? What are these untypical scenarios?
Entrepreneurs create teaching experience more convenient for both teachers and students.
How is it convenient?
- Fish out your phone
- Access the internet
- Download the App
- Register
- Comply with their requirements
- Activate
- Teach
Easy enough?
Well, it gets easier.
You earn by going online/available.
Wait for calls and be paid by the minute!
In this blog, I will be naming these online schools that I have come across and have read over the internet. I have seen a lot that hires teachers of different nationalities, but I will be only mentioning the apps that accept Filipino applicants since most of them accept English native speakers.
Most of these apps don’t really require teaching experiences.
They prefer native English speakers or at least have a native-like accent.
See the table below for some information about these apps and check whether you’re fit in their qualifications or your preference.
