I was recently chatting with a friend who has been teaching adult ESL students for years. A lot of these teaching positions are temporary, seasonal and part-time.

He is passionate about helping people learn English…the exact kind of person global English learners would be lucky to have.

Do you want to travel and make an impact, but maybe not sing nursery rhymes? No worries! Adults all over the world want to learn English to advance their education or career, and there are exciting English teaching jobs for adult students waiting for you to apply. We all have our thing, right? Every student is different, even when you teach ESL to adults. But, adults will likely come in far more focused, with an end goal in mind for the class. Maybe they want to learn English for work, maybe to get into a certain degree program, perhaps for an upcoming trip.
But when you think of teaching ESL online, you probably picture teaching kids, which is, in fact, the age group most online tutoring jobs involve. Yet, working with young learners is not for every teacher. Learn where you can teach English without a college degree. Teaching experience is not always required to teach adults online—though having some greatly improves your prospects of being hired by the online tutoring company of your choice.
