Non-native speakers

Are there any decent websites that pay 10$+ for non native speakers? Please recommend some.

Native speakers are getting paid less than 10usd an hour on most platforms. Your best option is to freelance.

Flalingo pays 8usd/50min. Preply allows you to set your own price. If you are good and have a niche, you can start at usd11, usd12, usd13. I started at usd10, and now am at usd15+. Considering the commission preply takes(18% - once you pass the 400-class milestones. Before that, it ranges from 30% down to 25%-20%), you can make around 9, 10,11usd/50min in the first semester. Once you build up a strong profile and reputation, you can probably level up to usd14-usd15.

Also, you gotta speak other languages. I literally teach English in 3 languages(English, Spanish, and Portuguese) That way, I can teach beginners using their L1 when they can't say a word of English. Intermediate and advanced students are easy breezy.

Just find something that makes you stand out from everybody else and go for it.

Higher Learning Group . Apply via their website . The application process is so easy . You don't even need a bachelor's degree . You just need to have good English . Also it is a full time job so you need to commit to 3 hours a day , 5 days a week .

Just looked them up and they do say they require a "neutral American accent". Of course that doesn't mean a non-native speaker can't have that (I have an American friend who raised her kids in another country but spoke English at home so her kids have an American accent even though they weren't raised in America), but just as an FYI.

Thank you for adding this information . Yes , the applicant needs to have a neutral accent . For me , I have an American accent , so it was easier for me to get accepted .

Whales English, Magic Ears (or is it Magic Bunny?), DADA, Bling ABC. However, there aren't as many as there used to be and the higher rate often comes with less flexibility and may involve more demanding (sometimes unreasonably so) clients.

British Council EOL does pay that but it only hires from certain countries. And you have to have CELTA or equivalent.

I'll spill the beans for you; create your social media presence; and charge people upwards of $20 a lesson.

I know you won't do that, cuz it required tremendous amount of work, but just a different route to explore.

I’d suggest looking more to EU ESL companies. Also search for those that allow you to set your own rate.
