By using TeachEnglishOnline.org ("the Site") you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
1. About the Site
TeachEnglishOnline.org is an independent educational publication. The content is general guidance for adults interested in online ESL/EFL teaching. We are not a teaching platform, employer, recruiter, certification body or financial advisor.
2. Use of content
All articles, guides, illustrations and code on the Site are protected by copyright and remain the property of TeachEnglishOnline.org. You may:
- Read and share links to our pages.
- Quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back.
- Print pages for personal, non-commercial use.
You may not republish substantial portions of our content (including translation, paraphrase or AI rewriting) on another website without prior written permission.
3. Accuracy disclaimer
We do our best to keep information current — pay rates, platform policies, course prices, and visa rules change frequently. Always verify critical decisions (signing up for a course, accepting a job, moving abroad) with the source provider before committing money or time.
4. Affiliate disclosure
Some outbound links to courses, platforms or tools may be affiliate links. If you sign up through these links, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences which products we recommend — we only recommend things we'd suggest to a friend. Any recommendation tagged as "sponsored" is paid placement and labelled as such.
5. No professional advice
Content about tax, immigration, business registration, contracts and pricing is general information, not professional advice. Consult a qualified accountant or lawyer in your jurisdiction before acting on it.
6. Third-party links
The Site links to external services (TEFL providers, teaching platforms, software tools). We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of those services. Read their terms and privacy policies separately.
7. Acceptable use
Do not use the Site to:
- Scrape content for republication or for training AI models without permission.
- Attempt to disrupt, overload or compromise the Site or its hosting infrastructure.
- Send abusive, threatening or unlawful messages through our contact forms.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TeachEnglishOnline.org and its contributors are not liable for any loss, damage or cost — including lost income — arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content. The Site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind.
9. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms occasionally. The "Last updated" date above always shows the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the new terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the country where the Site is registered. Any dispute should first be raised by contacting us — we'll try to resolve it informally before any formal action.
