Hi do I need a TEFL certificate if I have a teaching degree
Hello Hope, it depends on how you want to teach English online. If you want to get a job with a school, then yes, almost all of them require a TEFL certification. If you want to work online for yourself and get private students, then no it is not necessary to have a TEFL.
I’ve sent you an email with more info.
Hi, how do I get registered if I want to work for myself and get private students?
Hi Siphesihle, for you to get your own students there are 2 options. Either create profiles on freelance platforms that will advertise for students and process payments on your behalf (for a commission based on your earnings) or go totally independent and start your own online business and do the marking and payments on your own. We can help with either and would recommend that you email us here support@eteflonline.com so that we can give you more detailed information.
