#CompanyPay / Key
Details
Why it stands out / what to watch
1Twenix (Spain / Italy)26-minute one-to-one conversation classes for adults; flexible schedule; minimal prep; no degree or TEFL required.
€13-15/hr for UK teachers as example
Great low-barrier entry (good if you don’t have teaching credentials). Watch: the pay rate varies by country; adult learners only.
2AirClass (UK, global 1-to-1 for 4-18yr olds)Classes 50 min long, students aged 4-18; pay around US$14-24/hr depending on ability. Strong pay / long class time. Watch: kids + young teens, so you’ll want to be comfortable with that age range and perhaps evening hours in certain time zones.
3Learnlight (Barcelona-based, business English)Part-time possible; pay rates in euros: ~€10 for individual, ~€12 for group. Business English and European students = maybe more “mature” class content. Watch: pay is modest and might require specific availability/hours.
4All Right (Kids 4-12, multi-country)Based in USA but students across ~30 countries (Poland, Spain, Italy, Romania, etc). Good mix of kids in Europe. If you’re in Europe this might align with “reasonable” hours. Watch: kids require different teaching skills than adults.
5Ringle (South Korea – adults/discussion)Starts at ~US$17/hr, up to US$22/hr. 40- or 55-minute lessons, discussion or interview style. Good pay and adult learners. Watch: likely stricter requirements (top-university degree from US/UK mentioned) and possibly time-zones aligning with Asia.
6UASK Education (Canada-based, Chinese students)Pay CA$18-30/hour; small groups (1-5 students); degree + TEFL certificate + 1 year teaching experience preferred. Good pay. Watch: you need experience + credentials; and student time-zones may affect your schedule.
7Interlingua (Bosnia, business & ESP English)For ESP/business English; 1-to-1 or small groups (max 4); pay ~$12 for 60-minute class (depending on region/students). More specialised (business/ESP). Watch: may require more qualifications (experience, references) and student base may be smaller/less predictable.
8HelloKid (Chinese market, kids)Pays a base rate ~$15 USD/hour; 30-minute classes Mondays-Fridays evenings (Beijing time) + weekends. Good rate. Watch: evening time zone may be Asia-heavy so schedule may be later for you in Europe; and kids classes.
9Speexx (Germany, business English)€6 per 25-min unit (~€12-15/hr); requires TESOL/TEFL + another language B2.Flexible schedule is a plus. Watch: stricter requirements for teachers
10Lingostar (Singapore / China market)1-to-1 classes with Chinese children; pay starts at US$7 per 30-min for native speakers, can go up to US$20/hr after more regular students. Offers growth potential. Watch: base pay is low; you may need to build regular students to improve rate; and peak hours may be Asian time zone.
