Teaching English online as an ESL teacher is one of the most flourishing job markets. Online ESL companies are hiring teachers to teach English to non-English speakers and the pandemic has boosted the prevalence of online education of English to a great extent.

Teacher training courses in Singapore provide an authentic and extremely beneficial TEFL certificate to aspirants and professionals who want to become ESL teachers. The lesson planning is absolutely crisp that contains a scientific-based curriculum, real-life case studies, and upgraded knowledge on technology.

Thus, people who aim to start teaching English as online teachers must go for this certification course as it is a mandatory criterion. Besides, there are plenty of schools that hire people for English language teaching having a Bachelor's degree. However, most of the Middle Eastern and Asian countries offer TEFL jobs to teachers who are having prior teaching experience.

Now, the question arises as that if a single online TEFL job is easy to sustain or not. Well, being an independent contractor you can definitely work with more than one ESL company if it is not affecting your health or mind. We all are aware of the situation when China announced its eradication from the Chinese Ministry of education and that changed the scenario of online ESL companies drastically.

Since then it has been extremely important to find stability in terms of finance. Thus, you being an independent contractor should always look for more options. Therefore, working for more than one ESL company is totally realistic.

YOU WILL WORK IN MORE THAN ONE ESL COMPANY BECAUSE:
 

  • Being an independent ESL teacher you have the right to work for more than one ESL company. Let say there is no problem from the financial angle but the batch you have received is not what you like the most. If you're keener towards a batch having adult learners and business professionals while your current batch is of young learners, you can definitely look out for the niche market of your preference.
     
  • We all love independence and if given a chance, we all must grab it keeping in mind that our deeds should never disrespect or disturb others. Similarly, you being an independent contractor can fix the schedule as per your own choice. Before setting the schedule, observe the peak hours when students come online and make a plan accordingly.
     
  • Non-English speaking students from Asia, e.g., the Japanese students will always prefer online English teachers having prior teaching experience. Suppose, you're a fresher and have cracked a job in a school of Latin America (as those schools do not have such preferences on prior teaching experience). Now, once you start working for that school, you can add that as a part of your experience and can find better-paid schools.
     
  • Sometimes, diversification is required because working with the same students on the same platform can cause fatigue. Thus, if you teach more students on different online ESL companies, you will get a more diverse audience.
     
  • Teaching with more than one ESL company will enhance your teaching skills and especially your classroom management talent. Not every batch is the same as culture varies from one place to another. A batch of Spanish students is definitely different from that of a Japanese student. Thus, your management skill will be more productive and with every passing day, they will be enhanced.

Thus, it is always advisable to try different batches via multiple online ESL companies. Teaching English online is a fantastic job because it encourages a cross-cultural form of education that is bi-directional. Teachers get to learn the foreign language, their cultures, habits, and so on while students get awesome quality of knowledge on the English language.
