TEACH & EARN
How much can you earn teaching a language online?
Short answer: it depends on how many lessons you teach and how many students you bring — and nothing is guaranteed. Here is the honest math, with no inflated promises.
Frequently asked
What share of each lesson do you keep?
On Star Lab you keep all of your first lesson with each student, and 75% of every lesson after — and you set your own price. Elsewhere, platforms can keep 100% of a first lesson and take 50% or more afterward.
Can you earn without teaching every hour?
Yes. Bring a student and half of their monthly subscription reaches you every month they stay, on top of any lessons. And content you write once keeps bringing students from search, so income is not capped by your hours alone.
Is any income guaranteed?
No. Your total depends on lessons taught and students brought. Treat any "earn $X per month" promise as a warning sign — real numbers vary with your activity and market.
The most honest way to see your own number is to move the sliders yourself in the earnings estimator.
