Online English language teaching courses are a relatively recent and growing area of the English language teaching industry.

For beginner teachers, the best option would be to apply for online English language teaching courses position at an online learning service like Inglesissimo. The service sets a curriculum for you and you can work full- or part-time.

What you do need to teach English as a second language online is an understanding of how students learn and a solid understanding of grammar. If you have those, then you can teach successfully online. As with teaching in a traditional classroom, you need to prepare lessons in advance. If you are prepared, your students are engaged, and you can retain your students and make a good living.
