Online English Tutor

You set your rate and keep 80% of each session fee, after payment processing.

ImChatty is a language-learning platform. Learners practise with AI conversation partners and guided scenarios (text and audio), then book real human tutors when they're ready.

Our English learners come from many countries and want different things: confident everyday conversation, English for work and interviews, or a stronger result on an exam. AI practice gets them a long way, but they also want a skilled human who can hear what's holding them back and coach them past it.

What you'll do

Run 1-on-1 sessions built around each learner's goal, from conversation practice to English for work.
Give clear feedback on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and how natural the learner sounds.
Set your own availability and per-session rate, and manage your own bookings.
Keep brief notes on recurring students so each session builds on the last.
Optionally use the AI assist panel during sessions (level detection, prompts, suggested corrections). It's a support tool you can switch off.

What we're looking for

No teaching degree is required. A TEFL, TESOL or CELTA certificate helps, but proven proficiency and the ability to coach conversationally matter more to us than a diploma.

Native or near-native English (around CEFR C2), demonstrated during certification.
Experience teaching ESL/EFL, English language arts or conversation classes is a strong plus.
Comfort adapting your English to a learner's level.
Reliable internet, a quiet space and a headset with a working mic.
Professionalism: on time for confirmed bookings, tutoring from a permanent account.

How certification works

Before learners can see your profile, you complete two steps on the platform:

A CEFR placement test in English, where you need to score C2.
A C2 certification scenario: you teach one short mini-lesson to an AI learner, and an AI examiner reviews it.

After certification

A member of our team reviews your profile before your certified badge goes live. The process is free, online and done at your own pace. Certification reflects our assessment of your language proficiency; it doesn't guarantee bookings or income.

Pay and payments

You set your own per-session rate and keep 80% of each session fee after payment-processing fees.
Payments are live: once certified, you connect Stripe or PayPal and booking turns on for your profile.
Your share of each completed session is paid out automatically 48 hours after it ends, with no invoicing.
You work as an independent contractor. You handle your own taxes, you're free to tutor elsewhere, and you never have to accept a booking.
Cancellations more than 24 hours ahead are free for either side. If you miss a confirmed session, the learner is fully refunded.
