Online ESL Companies Not Based In China

With new regulations limiting the ESL industry in China, more and more companies are looking for teachers from other countries to fill positions remotely. If you’re interested in finding a job teaching English as a second language online, this guide will provide you with options of online ESL companies not based in China.

With the new Chinese regulations on online tutoring, many online teachers have been left scrambling to find new online jobs. At the moment, it’s pretty risky to apply to another China-based company, so what are the alternatives? I’m going to give you a list of some online ESL companies not based in China. Some of the companies offer courses in more than just English, so there’s potential to teach multiple subjects if you have the qualifications.

Not all Chinese Companies were taken out by the new changes. VIPKID is still in operation and has set up a global platform with students from around the world.
