  • Excellent communication skills to engage and teach students

  • High-Speed Internet, Modern Laptop / PC with a microphone and camera

  • Must comply with local freelance/contractor regulations

What are the terms of this freelance role?

  • $14 paid per lesson taught

  • Access to Busuu Premium, to continue your own language learning

  • Opportunity to interact with and teach students from around the world

  • Valuable teaching experience with one of the industry’s leading companies

What happens next?

We aim to have a simple and speedy hiring process and want to make sure that we are right for you as much as the other way around. The hiring process for the freelance online role are the following 3 steps:

  1. CV application review - We will review it as quickly as possible and update on the next steps

  2. Let’s chat - Quick interview with the teacher operations manager about your experience and the role

  3. Short onboarding course

Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. We pride ourselves on embracing our differences, whether they're cultural, racial, religious, or otherwise. This means each one of us comes to work knowing that we have a voice – and a safe, judgment-free zone to speak freely.

If you like the sound of that, join us. We'd love to hear what you have to say.
