AIBU to think I could make a few hundred teaching English online?

[BlueSatsuma]

How would I go about it?

I’m a primary teacher with 12 years experience but for various reasons I just don’t want full time school based work. I’m 3 days! It’s enough.

I’m based in Northern Ireland so I don’t know if it’s easy to get into, though I do have a good pc and speedy internet.

No formal English teaching qualification.

I’d really like to hear from people who’ve done this or am I being U?

It's doable, but there isn't all that many hours, for you it would be 10am -1pm now, 11-2 in the summer months when the clocks change (BJT doesn't have a summer savings time). You would need an ESL qualification but they aren't expensive or hard. Some don't take non Americans so you will have to weed those out. Salary is base $7.50 per 30 minutes. Weekends are busy too.

no idea. But to be honest, if you are desperate for money the last thing you need to do is to go through an agency where they will automatically steal some of your remuneration. The other drawback is that any sort of tutoring requires you to do prep work, which of course you will not be paid for and which you probably do enough of anyway.

If I was in a situation where I needed quick money to top up my salary I would look for cash in hand work like private cleaning, where all you earn in your own time is yours.
