Teach English

Teach English online, on your own terms

Set your rates, choose your hours, and let the platform handle scheduling, payments, homework and progress tracking — so your lesson time goes on teaching English.

Who is learning English

English is the largest market on Learniv by a wide margin, and the one with the clearest deadlines attached — most learners are working toward IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or CELPIP for a visa, a university place or a job.

Exam candidates who need a specific band by a specific date, and professionals who can read and write competently but freeze in a meeting. Both want correction, not encouragement.

What the platform does for you

The administrative half of tutoring, removed.

You set the rate

Your hourly rate is yours to choose and change. We never discount your lessons to run a promotion without asking you first.

Scheduling handled

Availability in your own timezone, automatic reminders for both sides, and a cancellation window you control.

Learners who already know their level

Most arrive having taken a placement check, so the first lesson starts with teaching rather than assessment.

Verification that means something

Qualifications are checked before your profile goes live. That is why learners trust the profiles, and why yours is worth having.

What strengthens a profile

CELTA, DELTA, TESOL or TEFL, plus examiner experience if you have it — IELTS or TOEFL examiner background is the single strongest signal on an English profile.

Beyond paper qualifications, the two things learners respond to most are a short introduction video where you actually speak, and a specific description of who you teach best. “Experienced tutor, all levels” converts far worse than naming the learner you are right for.

Getting started

  1. Apply with your qualifications and teaching experience.
  2. Verification, usually within a few working days.
  3. Set your rate, availability and cancellation window.
  4. Record a short introduction and publish your profile.
