Enjoy Lessons boasts over 50,000 members on its landing page and over 9,000 teachers, marking it as a heavyweight in the freelance teaching business. According to the site, in addition to English, it has also helped connect students looking to learn Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Turkish, Javanese, Vietnamese, Burmese, Thai, Hindi, Arabic and Persian. So being multilingual can broaden your chances to find consistent students!

Eigo Pass is aimed specifically at students seeking to learn English, which separates it from other sites offering their services in a variety of languages. However, what makes the site remarkable is that a staff member will be present to introduce you to prospective students. This eases tension on all sides and ensures a safe, friendly first meeting.

Orangutan Japan is another popular site to connect language students and teachers, offering the option to teach English or other languages such as French or Spanish. This site also features an especially clever way to promote its teachers, giving them the opportunity to post a two-minute video lesson. While the site offers a scant ¥1,000 per video posted, the publicity created by uploading a sample video can help attract prospective students.

Registration for teachers is totally free; all you need to do is add your details and wait for students to contact you.
