“So, can you make money from Italki?” asks Dave Trotter, who wrote about his experience making money on italki. Languages like English and Spanish are hot in demand, but the sky is the limit-people even teach rare languages like Basque, Esperanto and sign language. Unlike teaching at a school, there’s a ton of freedom-you can choose which students you want to work with, create customized lessons, plan your classes around your schedule and teach from wherever you want. You set your prices, and the more good reviews you get, the more money you can make.

Using a marketplace similar to Airbnb, teachers showcase their services on italki, from language lessons to conversation sessions. You don’t need to be a trained teacher to make money with italki, a platform where millions of users pay native speakers around the world in order to learn a foreign language.
