Non-Natives: italki’s language proficiency requirements for teaching ESL online are:

italki requires that teachers have native proficiency or the most advanced (C2) level in order to teach a target language. italki uses the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) for reporting language proficiency.

To demonstrate your native or advanced (C2) language level, both to italki staff and to potential students, they require that teachers:

• Speak in the language during your introduction video. Don’t just say a few words – say at least a short paragraph. It adds a lot of credibility to your profile. Students are looking to your video to understand what their language sessions with you will be like (and how they will speak after learning from you)!
• Upload any language proficiency certification you have earned to your italki profile. italki staff must approve this modification. Your certificate will not be published, but your profile will show that italki has verified your certification.
• Use the target language in your written introduction. Be sure to use proper spelling and grammar so that your profile will look professional.

Hours: Teach as much or as little as you want! Students schedule lessons for times that you are available to teach.
