Teacher stories
Straight from our teachers
“I left 51Talk after 3 months because the pay was embarrassing. At Ohayo English I earned $1,160 last month working 5 hours a day. My students from Japan are so dedicated — it makes every class genuinely fun.”
$1,160/month
“I'm a full-time mom and teach 3 hours a day while my kids are at school. The flexible schedule is real — nobody enforces minimum hours. Getting paid the same day I teach? Life-changing.”
Full-time mum ✨
“I specialise in IELTS prep for teens. Because I niche down, I charge the higher rate and I rarely have an empty slot. My profile ranks first when parents search 'IELTS junior prep.'”
