Who we're looking for

English has the largest learner demand on CharlieTalk, from professionals who need it at work to students preparing for exams. You don't need a teaching certificate to apply.

Native or fully fluent English

You speak English naturally and can explain how it works.

Experience or qualifications help

A certificate is welcome but not required. Teaching experience, or a qualification such as TEFL, TESOL or CELTA, makes your application stronger.

The right setup

A webcam, a microphone and a stable internet connection. Lessons run in the browser, so there's nothing to install.

How it works

1. Apply in about 10 minutes

Create your tutor profile, add your languages and tell us about your teaching.

2. Get reviewed in 3–5 days

We review every application during launch. We may ask for a short interview and a demo lesson. If you're not approved, you can re-apply.

3. Propose your price and start teaching

Set your availability, propose your lesson and trial prices, and welcome your first English students.

How you'll get students

We're new, and we say so. We're investing in search, social and partnerships to bring English learners to CharlieTalk, and founding tutors get top placement in results while student demand grows.

What English learners come for

Business English

Meetings, presentations and emails for learners who use English at work.

Exam preparation

IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge practice, where a structured tutor makes the difference.

Everyday conversation

Confidence and fluency for learners who understand English but freeze when they speak.
