If you’re a travel lover, you’ve more than likely dreamt about ditching your job and its limited PTO policy. The ability to pick up and go whenever you feel like, is a luxury not everyone is afforded.

Now, however, more and more companies are offering opportunities for employees to work remotely. Teaching English online is one of the few jobs that allows the freedom and flexibility to choose your own schedule, and to work when you want from wherever you want.

There are many companies hiring for online English teachers. Some of them have certain educational requirements, but for others, the only requirements are English fluency, a reliable internet connection, and the appropriate equipment (laptop, headset, etc.). Since these are English immersion programs, there is no need to have any knowledge of students’ native language.

If this sounds like your dream career, here are some companies hiring for remote English-teaching jobs.
