Early mornings = More freedom during the day. Use your afternoons for personal growth, family time, or even a second income stream.
Flexible hours = Control your schedule. Teach when it suits you, whether it’s early mornings or afternoons (2 PM - 6 PM SAST).
Non-guaranteed hours = No rigid commitments. Perfect for those who value flexibility over a fixed routine.
Why you’ll love this role:
Work from home: No commute, no stress. Teach from the comfort of your own space.
Connect globally: Teach adult students from Vietnam and experience a new culture without leaving your home.
Grow professionally: Access free courses and resources to enhance your teaching skills and career prospects.
Be part of a community: Join a supportive network of educators who share your passion for teaching.

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in online before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.
⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
