In this video I walk you through 5 practical tips to choose the right online ESL company in 2026—because the “best company” isn’t the same for everyone. I’m looking at this from a teacher business angle: you want something that fits your schedule, your goals, and your tolerance for things like cancellations, peak-hour requirements, and how much control you actually have. I also talk about what to pay attention to before you apply so you don’t waste time jumping into a platform that’s a bad match. I also share my recommendation: Polly English. If you’re trying to get into online ESL and you want a clear starting point, I explain why I’m pointing people there and how to apply through my link. And if you’re thinking longer-term—like going independent, building your own student base, or adding digital products—make sure you check out my free webinar and the resources I’ve got linked, because the real win is building something flexible that you control.
