- For the last few months, I (Jia) have been traveling the world as a digital nomad. To make this dream a reality, I have a combination of private ESL and Spanish tutoring clients, as well as a full-time job with one of the best ESL companies.

I did what you’re doing a few years back (English Degree), I’m currently stateside and pursuing my Master’s in Education. Things tanked in 2020 and I had to stop. Thank you for your realistic perspective on what things are currently like. Cheers.
I am an American interested in tutoring Spanish for Americans. How many semesters of college Spanish have you completed?
I completed a degree in Spanish and ESL teaching, so I did 8 semesters in total during university, supplemented by TONS of self study and a few months in Colombia! - Jia
Great video - exactly what I was looking for. I am a fully qualified UK teacher (English Lit) with seven plus years of experience. I'm based at an international school in Central America. I want to explore remote teaching options, but I had the same initial experience that you mentioned. I actually know Apollo well, my first ever post-CELTA ESL teaching position was at their Hanoi school way back 2004. I'll keep following to look for ideas as I work out the best path forward for my family and I .
I'm preparing to teach ESL and have been using the tandem language exchange app for the past month to develop interpersonal and tutoring skills. I've had a bunch of people approach me looking for a English teacher and are ready to jump on board as paying students.
I recommend just diving in and getting a job in a different country (like China, Vietnam, or any other country you might be interested in). Don't pay any attention to thoughts like "such a school would hire anyone that's white and has a pulse" or "ESL isn't a real job" or whatever. You will actually get experience teaching and being in a foreign country. I taught ESL in South Korea and China for the past 20+ years. I don't regret that decision. I don't know if I would want to do it online as it wouldn't give me the same experience, and the pay wouldn't be any better than working at McDonalds.
Hi Jia … do you know how I can find that blog you mentioned that has the huge list of available schools?
first
Thanks for making this, I'm checking out the list now. I've been on a platform fulltime the last year and I've really enjoyed it but now I need to mix it up because when I am not excited about my life forcing myself to talk to people is the worst thing I can do. I lived it Ecuador last year but now I am in Colombia :)
Do you think its possible to be a digital nomad by just teaching private spanish tutoring clients on a pc? That's my dream! Ive created classes and im posting on Facebook now trying to find clients. My spanish is Castellano tho. I was born in Spain went to spanish schools but my parents are english.
Yes, absolutely. That's what Jia does now. Being a native speaker will help you as well.
