Nattive

Teach your language. Fund a classroom.

We’re selecting 5 teachers for each language who see education the way we do.

You teach independently: you set your price and your hours, and every paid lesson helps fund free group English courses for learners in developing countries.

Is Nattive for you?

  • You can teach.

    You have a teaching certificate or degree and can deliver great 1:1 lessons.

  • You see education the way we do.

    You believe more people should have access to language education, and you’ve shown it: mentoring, community work, volunteering, or using your skills to help others.

    We’re looking for shared values, not volunteers. Every lesson you teach on Nattive is paid.

  • Your teaching matches what learners need.

    We’re choosing a small group of teachers to start, and we’ll open more places as learners join.

If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.

Your teaching goes further.

Every paid lesson on Nattive helps fund free group English courses for learners in developing countries.

English can help someone prepare for a job interview, study at university, or feel at home in a new country. We want more people to have those chances, even when private lessons are out of reach.

Teach paid 1:1 lessons through Nattive. Eligible teachers may also apply to lead separately funded group English courses through the Nattive Classroom.
