Our instructor, Michelle Benson, did a wonderful job of instructing the 10hrs Classroom Teaching Methodologies virtual course over two... days. Not only did the students learn essential teaching skills, we also had the opportunity to put it into practice by teaching lessons we had prepared ourselves.read more

I chose Premier TEFL after a months-long search, and I am happy with my choice. Professional, not oppressive with a thousand emails like... many of the most famous providers ( and this was decisive for me). The contents of the modules are good and offer a lot of hints and materials to continue studying and dealing with the English language. I did the 180-hour Diploma and it required serious commitment that was taken into consideration. I always received prompt and attentive responses. I thank Laura, Emily, Olivia and Jacob. I recommend it to anyone who wants to try to become an English as a Second Language teacher and who is aware of the work it then entails. Thank you to allread more

Questions and Answers

How much can I earn as a Business English teacher?

Generally speaking, Business English teachers make between $30 – $50 per hour. This depends on experience and expertise.

Some freelance Business English teachers charge upwards of $100 per hour for very niche or specialist lessons.

While it might seem like a lot at first, it often means the difference between winning an international contract with a new client or getting a promotion. Which, in context, is a small investment considering the opportunity.
