Teaching English online allows teachers to have….
- A flexible online teaching schedule

What is required to teach English online?
- Most companies require teachers to have a bachelors degree, not necessarily in English or Education, but just a bachelor degree of some kind.
- Native English Speaker (Citizens of Canada or United States are very sought after).
- TEFL Certification. Sometimes this is not necessary for certain companies if you already hold a bachelors degree.
- Enthusiasm!
- **Some companies will require ONLY a TEFL certification, or ONLY a bachelors degree whereas as others will require BOTH. It entirely depends on the individual company!
