What is an online English tutor job?

An online English tutor job at Edutara is part-time teaching of school and entrance English to one learner at a time over a live video call. You hear the learner read, take apart an unseen passage with them, return their letters, notices and articles with comments on format and organisation, and prepare the prescribed literature for reference-to-context and long answers. Every lesson follows the learner's own board syllabus and textbook, and you teach from wherever you live in India.

  • Boards covered: CBSE 184 and 301, ICSE Paper 1 and Paper 2, ISC 801, plus CUET-UG English
  • Writing tasks are marked in a shared document the learner can redraft in front of you
  • Reading aloud on the call builds the fluency and pronunciation the speaking assessments mark
  • Literature work runs from the learner's own NCERT or prescribed board books

What a strong online English tutor brings

Command of the language matters first, then a working knowledge of how each board marks it, and a setup that lets a learner hear you read and watch you correct.

Command of English

  1. Clear spoken English you can model line by line when a learner reads a poem or a play aloud
  2. Sure grammar across tenses, modals, subject-verb concord and reported speech
  3. Comfort explaining tone, theme and character in a short story or a poem
  4. Range to coach formal letters, articles, speeches, debates and reports

Board and exam awareness

  1. Knowing the CBSE Class 10 split: Reading 20, Writing with Grammar 20, Literature 40
  2. Familiarity with First Flight and Footprints without Feet, or Flamingo and Vistas for Class 12
  3. Readiness to learn the new NCERT books, Kaveri for Class 9 and Poorvi for Classes 6 to 8
  4. For ICSE learners, the composition, letter, notice and email tasks of Paper 1

Patience with a draft

  1. Willingness to let a learner rewrite the same letter three times until the format holds
  2. A calm ear for a shy reader who stumbles over unfamiliar words on camera
  3. Honest, specific comments on content, organisation and accuracy in place of a bare tick

Your online setup

  1. A laptop or tablet with camera and microphone, and a connection that holds a video call
  2. Ease with a shared document for live comments, plus a screen you can share for passages
  3. A quiet room, so a learner can hear every syllable when you read aloud

Unsure about a point? Apply anyway, and we will read your application before any match is made.

What You Gain

Why English tutors teach online with Edutara

English suits a video call well: a text on a shared screen, a voice reading it, and a document that both of you can mark at once.

  1. Teach the books you love

    Spend lessons on poems, plays and short stories from First Flight, Flamingo, Hornbill or the ICSE Treasure Chest anthology, with a learner who has to understand them deeply.

  2. No travel between lessons

    Lessons run from your own desk. India keeps a single clock, IST, so a learner in another state shares your time and the slot needs no conversion.

  3. Short, focused sessions on one skill

    One evening can go to an analytical paragraph on a chart, the next to a reference-to-context extract, each fitted into the hours you keep free.

  4. Learners from Class 6 to CUET

    Edutara brings you learners across CBSE, ICSE, ISC and state boards, plus CUET-UG aspirants working on comprehension and verbal ability.

  5. Watch writing improve draft by draft

    Every comment stays in the shared document, so you and the learner can see a notice or an article tighten across a term.

FAQ

Questions English tutors ask before applying

Straight answers on syllabuses, marking written work online, the new NCERT books and how payment reaches you.

Mostly CBSE English Language and Literature (code 184) for Classes 9 and 10, CBSE English Core (code 301) for Classes 11 and 12, ICSE English with its Language paper and its Literature paper, and ISC English (801). Edutara also sends CUET-UG aspirants preparing for English, whose paper tests reading comprehension on factual, narrative and literary passages up to 300 words, along with rearranging parts, matching, word choice, synonyms and antonyms.

Most English tutors open a shared document: the learner writes, and you comment beside each line while you talk it through. CBSE marks Class 12 writing on format, organisation, content, spelling and grammar, so your comments can follow those headings. Word limits matter on every paper, from 100 to 120 words for a Class 10 formal letter to 300 to 350 for an ICSE composition, so timed drafting to the limit is a lesson in itself.

Yes, it helps. NCERT's Kaveri replaces Beehive and Moments for Class 9 as a single book of 16 texts, and Poorvi is now the English textbook for Classes 6 to 8. During a changeover some learners still hold the older books, so a tutor who knows both sets of texts can teach whichever edition the learner's school uses.

It works well, because a headset puts the learner's voice right in your ear. CBSE Classes 9 and 10 assess listening and speaking for 5 marks on fluency, pronunciation, interactive competence and language. ISC learners give a three-minute presentation followed by a short discussion, and the listening task plays an unseen passage of about 500 words twice. You can rehearse all of this live on the call.

Usually the 40-mark literature section and the writing tasks. Literature asks for extracts with reference to context, short answers of 40 to 50 words from First Flight and Footprints without Feet, and long answers of about 100 to 120 words. Writing pairs a formal letter with an analytical paragraph built on a chart, graph or map, which many learners find new.

When a learner asks for English help, they state the class or exam, the board and the area that needs work. Edutara puts you in touch with a learner whose need fits what you teach, and the first lesson is a regular lesson, paid like every other, where you find out what the learner needs most. The learner keeps going while the lessons work and can ask Edutara for another tutor free of charge at any stage.

Yes. College students are welcome to apply, and online English lessons need only your desk and a connection, so evenings and weekends between classes work well. You agree regular slots with your learner, and because all of India keeps the same clock, a slot means the same hour on both ends of the call.

Your English learner settles lesson fees with Edutara, and Edutara pays you for each confirmed lesson you teach on the call. Every class offer shows its rate before you say yes. Money never passes from a learner to your hands, and joining Edutara or receiving an English learner costs you nothing.
