Online English teachers $10-$33/hour

We're looking for teachers with the know-how, personality, and (preferably) experience to turn online group or individual classes into a dynamic, fun learning experience. You can work from home — this is a strictly online-online job!

GREAT HOURS
Don't like teaching in the middle of the night? Great — neither do we!
Our hours are really nice: Most of our classes are in the afternoon and evening, North American time, with a few morning and Saturday slots as well. If you teach at a local school during the day and want to make some extra money teaching online after school or on Saturdays, we can work with you!

PAY STRUCTURE: Earn $10 to $33 / hour
Our base pay is $10 per hour. Nobody earns less than that, but you can definitely earn more, up to $33 an hour. Your pay can increase on the basis of these factors:

• Class size
• English-teaching certifications or degrees
• Your ESL/EFL experience, whether in-person or online
• Ability to speak Spanish (a PLUS, but NOT a requirement)
• Wowing us with your teaching demo
• Your technical savvy
• Positive feedback from your students
• A consistent on-time record
• Bonus opportunities

YOUR SPACE
You need to be able to teach every single time from a quiet place free from distracting sounds, people, and visual clutter. We'd like your background to look like a teaching environment — you can decorate your walls, or, if you're technologically savvy, you can use a green screen to create a virtual classroom environment. We'd be more than happy to help you with that.

Does that mean we always expect you to connect from the same place? Nope. We're digital-nomad friendly. As long as you make sure you're always going to have enough bandwidth, a consistently professional presentation, and a quiet environment, we don't care if you want to teach from the moon (but if you do, please send us a moonrock).

TECHNOLOGY
We use Zoom for the video/audio aspect of our classes. Your internet connection should have enough bandwidth left over for you so that even while your housemates are downloading half of cyberspace, your computer gets 2 megabits upload and 2 megabits download speed. We'll ask you to do a bandwidth test and do a test call with us to make sure. You'll need a webcam that's at least 720p HD, and you get bonus points for having a 1080p/60fps webcam. You need a headset with microphone that sounds really good — but if you don't already have one, we'll help you find one.

If you're not already familiar with Zoom, it has a lot of nice features that make it pretty easy and fun to deal with larger classes.

For consistency of pronunciation and grammar, our teachers must be native speakers of North American English (from the US or Canada).

EDUCATION
You should have completed or be in the process of completing a 4-year college degree in any field of study.

PREFERRED
• English-teaching certifications or degrees
• ESL/EFL experience, whether in-person or online
• Ability to speak Spanish

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
At Platicare, we believe that working with people from a variety of backgrounds, with different perspectives and skills, enriches the learning experience. We want to attract, develop, and help the most talented people succeed regardless of their race, age, gender, disability status, sexual orientation, religion, or any other dimension of diversity.
