How much I made in a year teaching online | italki

Hi guys. In December I hit the one year mark. I wanted to reflect on how much I made throughout the year just to show the kind of money you can make doing teaching online as a side job.
Keep in touch.

Hi, congratulations. Making more than one hundred forty-four rands per year is a moment for celebration, girl. I feel proud of you. I have been living in London and my dream is to become an amazing teacher whether online or in the classroom. This video gave me the courage to continue to improve my English and reach my goal. My first language is Portuguese but I am determined to boost my knowledge of English and get a degree. Thank you for your video.

Honestly I don't believe you. I teach on preply and without considering the high fees, students tend to spend the less. Even having 8 hours a day (and you said it was part time) and you showed you teach not so much on the day, with 1h=10 dollars is very rare to find students. They want aproximately a 5dollar lesson for 1 hour and so. English, then, is too common to find teachers and community tutors. Maybe you teach african Languages and I apologize to my errors but I don't believe in this amount raised as part time teaching English, sorry

[@BohoChicSA]

You don’t have to believe anything. I am not a community teacher, I showed my profile and my withdrawals straight from the teaching website. I did not make up the numbers. Just because you were not able to reach my numbers doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t so please do not project your feelings.
