As with any job, there are a few requirements for teaching English online.
You must be a native speaker of English or have a level of English equivalent to C1 according to the CEFR.

You must have the right tools to be able to teach English, such as a computer, headphones and a microphone (or headset), and a stable internet connection.
In order to teach effectively, you also need a quiet space to teach in, good lesson plans and appropriate lesson materials.
