Online English tutoring is booming. Here’s how to build your own business:
1. Choose Your Teaching Niche
Focus on business English, test prep (IELTS/TOEFL), kids, or conversational fluency.
2. Get Certified (Optional but Helpful)
TEFL or CELTA builds credibility and gives you tools to teach confidently.
3. Pick a Teaching Platform or Go Freelance
Use Preply or Cambly to start fast. Long-term, build your own brand with Zoom + a website.
4. Set Your Rates and Packages
Start competitive ($15-$25/hr) and offer package deals to retain students.
5. Market Yourself
Use LinkedIn, Facebook groups, and your own blog to attract students.
6. Automate & Grow
Use scheduling tools like Calendly, and build passive income with digital products.
