In other words, a marketplace mediates between supply (teachers) and demand (students).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Platforms don\u2019t do this for free. They take a commission for each lesson you complete via the platform. This is usually around 20 \u2013 30% of your hourly rate. Still, as an <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/what-is-freelance-english-teacher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">independent English teacher<\/a>, you\u2019ll choose your own hours and rates and often use your own lesson plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the most recognized platforms in this space include <a href=\"https:\/\/preply.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preply<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italki.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">italki<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/heylangu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Langu<\/a>, though many others exist for specific regions or age groups. Each one works a little differently, but the underlying model is the same: teachers apply, build a profile, and compete for the attention of students who are browsing on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a different relationship than teaching for a language school or online academy, where the company assigns you students and, often, a curriculum. On a marketplace, you&#8217;re running a small, independent teaching business \u2013 and like any other independent business, you must stand out to get more clients and be careful about <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/avoid-common-pitfalls-freelance-online-english-teacher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common pitfalls to avoid<\/a>. The platform brings students to the site, but converting visitors into returning clients is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Do you need a certification to teach TEFL\/TESOL\/ELT for marketplaces?

They see a list of teachers\u2019 profiles and choose the one that is the most attractive to them based on their wants and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/make-online-teacher-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online teacher profile<\/a> gives you the best chance of getting students on a platform. Keep it short and simple by talking about your experience, any <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TEFL certifications<\/a> you have, and your hobbies or interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rachel offered the following advice: \u201cIf you try to appeal to everyone, you appeal to no one.\u201d You should be honest about your interests, whether they\u2019re video games, traveling, or 19th-century Russian literature (okay, maybe not that specific).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can end your profile with something like, \u201cCome chat with me about your favorite series\u201d or \u201cLet\u2019s have a conversation about your last trip.\u201d A friendly tone goes a long way toward finding students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clear, friendly profile photo matters just as much as your bio. Choose a well-lit photo where your face is visible, and you&#8217;re looking at the camera, ideally smiling. Avoid group photos, heavy filters, or images where you&#8217;re too far away to make out your expression. Students often decide whether to click into a profile before they read a single word, and the photo is what makes that first decision.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"\"><div class=\"content-advertisements template4\"><div class=\"thumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/ebooks-teach-english-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-to-Teach-English-Online-Cover.png\" class=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"txt\"><h5>Kickstart your online teaching career with this free eBook <\/h5><h3>How to Teach English Online<\/h3><p><\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/ebooks-teach-english-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn-ads\">Download<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-2-record-and-edit-a-good-intro-video\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Record and edit a good intro video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More and more platforms let you upload an intro video. This is a great way to show off your personality and make students feel at ease. A smartphone makes it easy to <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/introduction-video-teaching-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">record and edit a good intro video<\/a> and stand out on English teaching platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, write a script. Talk about why you love teaching and what your students will gain from your classes. Remember to tell them something about yourself, maybe about your family or hobbies and passions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, find a clean and well-lit place to shoot your video. Natural lighting is always best, but if you don\u2019t have a good spot by a window, just record in the corner of a room where the light hits your face evenly from the front, rather than with a shadow on one side or a spotlight coming straight from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, practice and record. After recording, you might want to edit. Editing your video can make it much more attractive, but you might need some help, depending on your skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/krzl-self-intro-video-blog-image.jpg\" alt=\"Creating a self intro video to teach English online\" class=\"wp-image-8645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/krzl-self-intro-video-blog-image.jpg 560w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/krzl-self-intro-video-blog-image-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 560px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bridge grad and independent online English teacher Krzl records her introduction video. <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/how-teaching-english-online-has-saved-me-during-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read her story here.<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-3-offer-free-trial-classes-and-get-student-reviews\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Free trial classes also help students feel comfortable around you and earn you a good review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reviews show potential students that you\u2019re an experienced teacher who can keep students happy. You can also ask students to be specific in their reviews. Asking, \u201cHow did I help you?\u201d or \u201cWhat is your favorite part of our classes?\u201d can help get reviews to be more specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A review like \u201cHe\u2019s a great teacher\u201d might not help students choose you, but \u201cHe helped me pass my IELTS exam\u201d or \u201cNow I have the confidence to travel with my English\u201d shows that you get results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/companies-seeking-online-english-teachers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Not sure where to go?

Specialize or find your niche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often, students are looking for English for specific purposes (ESP), like <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/specialized\/teaching-business-english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business English<\/a> or medical English. Tutor marketplaces allow prospective students to filter through teachers by their specializations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/teach-business-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teaching Business English<\/a> puts your profile in a smaller group than offering general English classes does. Specializing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/finding-your-niche-freelance-online-english-teacher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TEFL\/TESOL niche<\/a> not only helps your profile show up for students but also allows you to charge more for your classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suchismita Dutta, a Bridge grad, teaches on <a href=\"https:\/\/preply.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preply<\/a>. She\u2019s developed an IELTS exam preparation course to stand out on English teaching platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suchismita said, \u201cI show them mock videos, make them practice mock IELTS tests, and [review] all their skills \u2013 pronunciation, writing, listening, and reading.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business English and <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/micro\/teaching-ielts-exam-prep\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/micro\/teaching-ielts-exam-prep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IELTS prep<\/a> are only two examples. Other popular niches include young learners, conversation practice for working professionals, and pronunciation coaching. Even within exam preparation, <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/micro\/teaching-ielts-exam-prep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IELTS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/micro\/teaching-toefl-test-prep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TOEFL<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/micro\/teaching-pte-test-prep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PTE<\/a> each draw different students with different needs and timelines, so exam prep itself offers room to specialize even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1044\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Suchismita.jpg\" alt=\"Tecahewr Suchismita working online on her laptop\" class=\"wp-image-42877\" style=\"width:549px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Suchismita.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Suchismita-980x650.jpg 980w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Suchismita-480x318.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1044px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bridge grad Suchismita, from India, delivers an online class from her laptop. <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/suchismita-from-india-freelance-online-esl-teacher-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read her story here.<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-5-set-the-right-rate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Network and find a community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This advice comes from Alyse Bukoski, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/3416516978437925\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ESL Diversified<\/a>, a Facebook group for independent teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt can be very isolating teaching without [other] people,\u201d Alyse said. \u201cUse social media or Reddit to connect with people similar to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Networking not only helps with your mental health but also with your business. You\u2019re probably not the only one having trouble on a platform. Other teachers likely face similar issues and might have a solution for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/bridge.teo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bridge&#8217;s Teaching English Online Facebook group<\/a> is also a great place to get informed about news and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Networking can also bring in new students directly. Fellow teachers sometimes refer students who are a better fit for your niche or schedule than theirs, and a student who has a good experience with you is often willing to recommend you to a friend or colleague. Referrals like these cost you nothing beyond the relationships you&#8217;ve already built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting noticed on a tutor marketplace and getting booked are two different challenges, and each tip above works toward one or the other. A strong photo, a clear bio, and a defined niche help learners find you in the first place. A genuine intro video, reviews, and a fair rate are what convince them to book that first lesson instead of moving on to the next profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Profiles that keep earning bookings months later are usually the ones their owners keep revisiting: updating the video, adding new reviews, refining the niche as it becomes clearer what students actually want. The demand for online English teachers isn&#8217;t slowing down, and teachers who treat their profile as an ongoing project tend to be the ones with full schedules year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"8-ready-to-take-control-of-your-career-bridges-teacherpreneur-academy-gives-you-the-business-and-marketing-skills-to-build-your-own-independent-english-teaching-business-from-scratch-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Ready to take control of your career? <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/teacherpreneur-academy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bridge&#8217;s Teacherpreneur Academy gives you the business and marketing skills to build your own independent English teaching business from scratch.<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tutor marketplaces can be scary places for both veteran and new teachers.
