Any online English teachers?

Has anybody found a good agency please? My step daughter has a TEFL and 6 months teaching experience from her gap year, plus a BA in English. She wants to teach English online while she looks for a more permanent role and perhaps studies something more vocational. However, alll the agencies seem to be impersonal, only teach Chinese children, and have poor reviews by ex-teachers.

I would be really grateful for recommendations for decent ones.

There is a Facebook group called Hired ESL teachers Online which has all the big companies actively recruiting.The problem with many of them is they are literally recruiting native speakers with no qualifications who read the pre-prepared lesson from a cheat sheet. If you read around that group for a while, a few decent ones stick out.
I looked into it, (I've been EFL teaching for 25 years) but couldn't fit the times in as the market is Far East.
Whales English has a good rep. I was contacted by them for a chat but by then I'd got too busy at work to pursue it.

Whales, I'm going to contact you if that's OK as my Italian school is closed at the moment so things are a bit drastic!
