IELTS & TOEFL Tutor: English Exam Prep

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.

Many English learners have a deadline and a target score: IELTS or TOEFL for university admission, work or immigration. We're expanding our exam preparation to these tests and are looking for tutors who know them well and can coach learners through the speaking and writing tasks until they feel natural.

What you'll do

Run 1-on-1 sessions focused on IELTS (Academic and General Training) and TOEFL iBT preparation, especially the speaking and writing tasks.
Run realistic mock speaking tasks and give clear feedback on fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
Help learners understand each exam's format, timing and what examiners reward.
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 exam know-how and the ability to coach conversationally matter more to us than a diploma.

Native or near-native English (around CEFR C2), demonstrated during certification.
Solid knowledge of IELTS and/or TOEFL: task types, timing and how answers are scored. Experience preparing candidates, or a high score of your own, 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.
