Online English Teacher - Young Learners | Remote

(South Africa, *)

Fields of Expertise: ESL/EFL,  Elementary,  ESL to Children,  Kindergarten,  High School,   
Salary: Negotiable

Details: Introduction:
You did the work. The diploma, the TEFL, the real hours in front of real learners. So why does teaching still mean long commutes, overcrowded classrooms, and a paycheck that never quite reflects the effort?
Here’s a different version of the job. Same skills, same passion — but now from your own home, on a schedule you build yourself, earning in US dollars.
The Really Great Teacher Company is looking for qualified, South Africa-based English teachers to teach young learners online. If you’re energetic, love working with young learners, and want your qualifications to finally count for something — keep reading.

What’s In It For You:
US$6.50 per hour, paid in USD — real earning power against the rand
100% remote — no commute, no classroom chaos, just you and your laptop
Regular students — your learners stay with you over time, so you build genuine relationships and actually get to watch them grow
You own your schedule — distribute your hours however suits your life
Short, punchy 25-minute classes that keep both you and your young learners switched on
Free professional development via Inspire Academy, our e-learning platform stacked with certified and non-certified courses for online educators
Real onboarding and real support — you’ll never be thrown in the deep end
A genuine community through our Evolve Program, built around teacher wellness and connection

Position Details:
Start Date: Immediate, upon completion of recruitment and onboarding
Location: 100% remote — must be based in South Africa
Students: Young learners aged 4–16, based in China, proficiency A1–C1
Class Type: One-on-one and one-on-two (max two learners per class)
Language of Instruction: English
Platform: ClassIn
Rate: US$6.50 per hour
Class Duration: 25 minutes (regular); 21–25 minutes (demo)
Contract Type: Independent Contractor (remote)
Hours: Minimum 14 hours per week, within the teaching window of 12:00–15:30 SAST (18:00–21:30 BJT), Monday to Sunday. You decide how to spread your hours — up to a maximum of six days a week.
Bookings: Hours run on student bookings rather than fixed guaranteed hours. Reliable teachers with regular students tend to build steady, recurring schedules.

Minimum Qualifications:
Completed tertiary qualification in any field
Accredited 120-hour TEFL, TESOL, CELTA or equivalent certification
Minimum 1 year of teaching experience
Clear, effective spoken English
A consistent weekly availability you can genuinely commit to — this client values a stable schedule, not week-to-week chopping and changing
The Teacher Who Thrives Here:
High-energy, interactive, and brings lessons to life for young learners
Warm, friendly, and encouraging with a naturally positive attitude
Patient and empathetic, especially with younger and beginner learners
A clear communicator who’s organised and manages time well
Adaptable, calm under pressure, and a confident problem-solver

Tech Requirements:
Computer: Intel® Core™ i5 or higher, 8GB RAM minimum
Internet: Fibre connection, 20 Mbps upload/30 Mbps download via LAN cable
Backup Power: UPS with 4–5 hours battery life
Audio/Video: Noise-cancelling headset and HD webcam
