Save towards your perfect summer with online TEFL jobs

30 May 2025 • TEFL, Online

Your ideal summer might look very different to that of your friends – perhaps you are eager to explore sunny Europe while your nearest and dearest are more inclined towards long hikes in the Peak District.

But this uniqueness is what makes it just right for you!

No matter if you are looking to live it up this summer or take things a little easy, plans often run smoother if you’ve got funds set aside for your adventures.

UK WFH TEFL jobs are the ideal solution!

What are online TEFL jobs?

As the name suggests, work-from-home TEFL roles offer teaching opportunities right from your spare room, in your spare time!

With an online TEFL job, you can teach students from over 180 countries whenever suits you best.

Plus, whether you want to teach English or have a passion or qualification in anything else, from painting to woodwork, personal training to playing an instrument, you can find learners looking to improve their English skills by trying something new!

Benefits of UK WFH TEFL roles

• You can be approved in as little as 5 business days

Online TEFL jobs are designed to be accessible and quick to access, allowing you to get working and save - building up your summer stockpile as soon as possible.

• Your hourly rate is set by you and can be changed as your experience levels increase

We generally recommend starting at a smaller hourly rate to draw students in, especially if you are new to teaching English online.

Then, as your confidence spikes, you can start to increase your hourly rate and capitalise on your competency and earn a potential $550 per week!

• Teaching timetables are fully flexible

Whether you have a job already and want to boost your take-home pay as the summer approaches, or don’t work currently and can dedicate yourself to a full-time schedule, it’s up to you!

Thanks to this flexibility, you can also work around any children and caring responsibilities easily and simply.

• You don’t need any prior teaching experience

This means you can get started from day one – taking advantage of the support from our team and training webinars to give you some pointers.

Plus, while you don’t need to take them, there are bespoke courses you can complete to boost your experience and confidence:

• Teaching English Online

Completed in just 20 hours, this online course is focused specifically on online teachers and gives you the skills you need to encourage participation and help your students progress.

• Professional TEFL course

Giving unbeatable value, this course gives you the online skills you need for work-from-home TEFL roles while also giving you the confidence to teach in-person if the situation ever arises – making it ideal for TEFL teachers who go on to travel while living and teaching across the world.

No matter which course you choose, both courses come with a lesson planning e-book to support your future plans, too!
