Hey hustlers, it's Precious. Let me share with you a lowkey way to make around $30 per hour teaching English online to students in Japan and China. No degree required, just fluent English and decent internet.
The platform is called Podospeaking ( tutor.podospeaking.com ).
This is not one of those “make $500 a day while sleeping” hype things. It’s a real teaching gig where you get matched with students who want to practice conversational English. You talk with them, correct their pronunciation, help with grammar, and get paid per hour.
I decided to look into it properly because many of us here in Port Harcourt are looking for dollar-paying remote jobs that don’t need crazy skills.
Here’s Exactly What You Need
Be fluent in English (you don’t need to be a native speaker, just very comfortable speaking and writing)
Pass a simple grammar test during application
Internet speed of at least 50 Mbps (this is very important, PH network can be tricky)
A good webcam and quiet place to teach
Extra Setup Most People Need (Especially Nigerians)
Because the students are in Japan and China, the platform sometimes requires you to appear as if you’re teaching from a supported location. Many people use:
An antidetect browser ( https://www.morelogin.com/register/?from=AAByUyTbRWFj )
A virtual phone number
A proxy from Japan or China
How to Apply Step by Step
Go to the website: https://tutor.podospeaking.com
Sign up and complete the application
Take the simple grammar test
If you pass, they’ll schedule a short demo or interview
Set up your teaching profile (photo, short intro video, availability)
Once approved, you get matched with students and start earning.
Realistic Earnings
Around $30 per hour
You choose your own hours (but Japan and China time zones mean some classes might be early morning or late evening for us in Nigeria)
Consistent teachers can make $500 – $1,200+ per month depending on how many hours they put in
It’s not a full-time salary replacement for everyone, but it’s solid extra income you can do from your room in Port Harcourt.
My Honest Thoughts
Pros:
Pays in dollars
Flexible hours once you’re approved
No degree or teaching certificate needed
You’re actually helping people improve their English
Cons / Things to Watch:
Internet must be very stable (50 Mbps+ is non-negotiable)
You need to invest a little time and small money in the antidetect browser + proxy setup
Time zone difference can mean teaching at odd hours
You have to be patient and encouraging with students who are still learning
If you have good English, a quiet space, and reliable internet, this is one of the cleaner remote opportunities I’ve seen lately.
Would you try this?
