EnglishTeacherHub exists because finding a genuinely qualified English teacher online is harder than it should be. We set out to fix that — with a rigorous verification process no other marketplace applies.
Our mission
The online English tutoring market is flooded with unverified listings and unchecked credentials. For learners preparing for high-stakes exams — a UK visa test, a university entrance requirement, a professional certification — the quality of their teacher can determine life outcomes.
EnglishTeacherHub verifies every teacher manually before their profile goes live. CELTA, DELTA, PGCE, or QTS — we check the certificate and confirm it with the awarding institution.
From the founder
I've been teaching English for over 30 years. In that time I've seen the market change radically — and not always for the better. Platforms have sprung up that allow anyone to call themselves an English teacher without any qualification at all.
For a student trying to pass a SELT exam for their UK visa, or achieve the IELTS band score required for their nursing registration, an unqualified teacher is worse than no teacher — because they waste months of time and, sometimes, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
EnglishTeacherHub applies the same standard I apply at Elite Language Solutions — one of the UK's UKVI-approved SELT examination centres. If a teacher's certificate doesn't check out, they don't get listed. It's that simple.
What we stand for
Every teacher is manually checked before going live. CELTA, DELTA, PGCE, or QTS. No exceptions, no self-certification.
Teacher profiles show real qualifications, real reviews, and real hourly rates. We don't sell placement to the highest bidder.
We were built by a teacher, for teachers. Decisions about the platform are made with teacher wellbeing and learner outcomes at the centre.
Our founding organisation
EnglishTeacherHub is built on the foundation of Elite Language Solutions (ELS), a Southampton-based English language school and one of the UK Home Office's approved SELT examination centres. ELS has trained corporate clients including Sony, Nike, DXC Technology, and Mercadona, and has been delivering IELTS, Cambridge, and Business English programmes since the early 1990s.
