Become an online tutor

Teach what you know, without running a business around it

Learniv handles scheduling, payments, curriculum and progress tracking so the hour you are paid for is the hour you spend teaching. You keep control of your rate, your hours and your method.

Why teach here

Your rate, your money

You set your hourly rate and can change it whenever. Platform commission is a fixed percentage stated before you join, not a sliding scale that quietly grows.

Your hours

Publish only the availability you actually want. No minimum weekly commitment and no penalty for taking a month off.

Verified profiles

Every tutor is checked before going live. It is more work up front and it is the reason learners book without haggling over credentials.

Teaching, not admin

Scheduling, reminders, payment, invoices, homework distribution and progress tracking are handled. You prepare and teach.

What we look for

Being a native speaker is not a qualification, and we do not treat it as one.

The bar is evidence that you can teach: a recognised teaching qualification, a relevant degree, or documented experience with learners at the level you want to take. Examiner experience for any of the major exams is the strongest single signal on an application.

We also look for a specific answer to who you teach best. Tutors who name their learner β€” a nervous intermediate, a professional preparing for interviews, a candidate who needs half a band in six weeks β€” do markedly better than those who list every level from A1 to C2.

You will need a reliable connection, a quiet space, a working camera and a decent microphone. Audio quality affects lesson outcomes more than video does.

How applying works

  1. 1

    Apply

    Tell us which languages you teach, your qualifications, and the learners you are best with. Ten minutes, and no video required at this stage.

  2. 2

    Verification

    We check qualifications and identity. Usually a few working days. If something is missing you are told exactly what, rather than just rejected.

  3. 3

    Build your profile

    Set your rate, your availability and your cancellation window, then record a short introduction. The video matters more than anything else on the page.

  4. 4

    Take your first booking

    New profiles are surfaced to learners searching your language and level. Most tutors see their first trial booking within the first fortnight.
