As a remote ESL teacher, you teach a class of students in a virtual classroom, often incorporating live video and chat feeds to help interact with students. In this role, you may also create lesson plans, help students overcome their unique challenges, and otherwise support students who have varying educational needs. Remote ESL jobs often focus on international students who want to learn English, especially in China and other parts of Asia, but some people in this field also help domestic students as needed. Depending on the nature of the class, this job may involve working unusual hours to help sync with the time zones in which the students reside.
