A lot of people think that working as an online English teacher is difficult and boring. I would like to disagree. In reality, this is one of the most fulfilling jobs. Here are some of the top reasons why you should start considering to be an online English teacher.
Teaching English online can be a part time job or a big career move. I have listed a few reasons why you should consider it and how is it different from the traditional teaching.
English has become the world’s common language. About a quarter of the world’s population speaks English and it is forecasted that by 2020, two billion people will be speaking or learning it.
Working and living, it has always been a battle. Time, energy and money, these are the three basic things you have in life and it seems like you can’t have them all. You can’t help but wonder, when will I ever enjoy life to the fullest?
We are living in a generation exposed in an increasingly online and socially-networked world - and yes, we are the so called “millennials”. Isn’t it nice to know that you actually have a choice to stay at home, open our laptop, work, and earn more?
"I was training for a BPO company when my doctor advised me to stop working since I just gave birth and the work could put me in a critical condition. The dilemma of prioritizing my health for my baby and the need to earn money for our family made me decide to apply as a home-based online English teacher.
After a year of teaching in Bibo, I was able to have my own apartment business. The flexible schedule allows me to travel with my family and spend some quality time with them.
It’s somehow challenging to work at home as an online English teacher. I need to provide quality teaching service to my students and at the same time be a full time mother to my child. It’s a good thing that in Bibo, there are regular coaching sessions with skillful teachers’ support."

"I worked at a fast-food chain to sustain my education. I worked 30 hours per week and earn P3,000 a month. After I graduated from college, I aimed for a job in BPO companies but, fortunately, I came across Bibo Global Opportunity’s ad on Facebook and applied as a home-based online English teacher.
I thought the offer was too good to be true, but I pursued it anyway and got trained. After only two years of teaching, I was able to buy my own house. Right now, I’m saving to buy a new car.
Online teaching takes hard work, good quality equipment, and excellent communication skills for you to be successful. Knowing how to build rapport is also important to get your students’ trust and for you to always be fully booked."
Teacher LJ
"I am not really comfortable being in a huge crowd, that’s why when I had the choice to work at home, I grabbed it. I have been working in ESL companies for 8 years now, but I enjoy teaching in Bibo. There are more students to teach because it operates globally. I love the fact that I am working at home with a flexible time and my salary is on time.
The flexible time enabled me to have more time to do household chores, cook and do the “housewife” stuff. I am happy, my husband is also happy.
It is an advantage that Bibo operates globally. There are plenty of students and greater opportunities to be booked, teach and earn money. Unlike other ESL companies that only have fixed time and the same students."
Teacher Lyanne
"Online English teaching is not new to me since I once worked in an ESL company. However, I didn’t have much students like here in Bibo. In my previous company, I’d open 20 hours a week with only 8 to 10 students. I left that company because of an incident that I really find unfair and unjust.
But my bad experience didn’t stop me from doing online teaching. I decided to apply in Bibo when I saw great potentials and opportunities. I really love that I have a flexible time in Bibo, I can pursue my music, my fashion, and my business. I love the fact that my hard work is well compensated that I can invest and save for a better future.
I really appreciate how our Teachers’ Support in Bibo guide us to be more effective teachers and how they value us as a teacher as much as they value their students."
