My story of becoming an online tutor

Fiona C.

MY STORY

Since 2019, I’ve been traveling the world while working remotely. What I do isn’t extraordinary: I teach online—just by chatting with people.

When I left Hong Kong in 2019 with my savings, I had no idea how I’d make it work.

A year later, I was broke.

But I didn’t want to go back. I loved this lifestyle and was determined to keep it.

The challenge?

I didn’t have a teaching diploma, and I wasn't confident in the languages I was fluent in.

Then one day, I discovered I could earn money by helping people practice the languages they're learning. No teaching certificate required—just conversation, guidance, and enthusiasm.

That discovery changed everything.

And the best part? I can share this story not only in English, but also in the other languages I’m fluent in—so I can connect with even more people around the world.
