In 2021, when this post was written, China had implemented serious limitations on the ESL industry. During that time, online TEFL teachers frantically sought out alternative platforms to maintain their livelihoods. I wrote this post to aid my fellow TEFL teachers in their search. This brief guide offers some options for online ESL companies not based in China.
Not all Chinese Companies were taken out by the new changes. VIPKID continued to operate and is still thriving. In fact, during that time, VIPTeacher set up a global platform for students from around the world.
