TEO Academy is a specialist learning platform for adults who want practical, relevant and high-quality teaching. We welcome tutors with professional, academic, linguistic or sector-specific expertise who can turn knowledge into meaningful learning.
TEO Academy specialises in adult education, professional communication and subject-specific learning. Our learners are looking for tutors who understand their goals and can connect lessons to real situations, careers, qualifications and personal development.
Experience teaching children does not prevent you from applying, but your proposed TEO Academy teaching practice must be clearly suited to adults.
We are not currently recruiting tutors whose teaching practice is focused primarily on young children.
Build a profile around your expertise, choose what you teach and decide when you are available.
The same commission rate applies across the platform, without punishing tutors for teaching fewer hours.
Choose a rate that reflects your qualifications, experience, specialism and the value of your teaching.
Offer times that fit your schedule and keep your calendar accurate so learners can book with confidence.
Trial lessons are paid teaching sessions. Your expertise and preparation should be valued from the first lesson.
Strong TEO Academy tutors combine knowledge with a clear, supportive and professional teaching style.
You understand how adults learn and can adapt lessons to their goals, experience and confidence.
You can support workplace language, presentations, interviews, meetings, writing or intercultural communication.
You offer academic, vocational, creative or professional knowledge that learners can apply in the real world.
You understand a recognised examination, admission route, professional standard or specialist assessment.
TEO Academy is not presently designed as a children’s tutoring marketplace. Applications should demonstrate a clear ability and intention to teach adults.
TEO Academy gives tutors tools and flexibility while maintaining a professional learner experience.
Your qualifications, niche, teaching experience and preparation matter. You choose the lesson price shown on your profile.
Set your own availability and update it as your commitments change. Google Calendar integration can help prevent clashes.
Present your background, teaching approach and subject expertise so suitable learners can understand what makes you different.
A strong introduction video gives learners a sense of your communication style, personality and professional presence.
Tutor Updates emails share platform guidance, practical reminders and opportunities to improve your visibility.
Tutors are encouraged to share their profiles and expertise through their own professional and social networks.
TEO Academy charges tutors a flat 14% platform commission on lesson earnings. The rate does not increase because you teach fewer lessons, and it does not depend on how long you have been on the platform.
Tutors remain responsible for any withdrawal, bank-transfer, currency-conversion or payment-provider fees that may apply to their chosen payment method.
A thoughtful application helps us understand your expertise and whether your teaching is a strong match for TEO Academy learners.

Specific, confident and learner-focused applications are much more useful than generic descriptions.

Include relevant qualifications, industry experience, teaching results, publications or specialist knowledge.
Tell learners what a lesson with you feels like and how you adapt teaching to individual goals.
Use good lighting and sound, speak naturally and focus on how you can help the learner.
Learner trust depends on accurate information, good communication and consistent professional standards.
Update your calendar promptly and avoid displaying times that you cannot genuinely teach.
Communicate clearly with learners and respond to important messages within a reasonable period.
Lessons should reflect the learner’s goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all routine.
