Already in Colombia? Teach with us.
Daily live classes. Groups of max 5 students. Colombian professionals who take their English seriously.
Why teach with us?
We're not a corporation. We're a small school with a clear structure, planned lessons, and students who show up motivated.
Max 5 per class
You're never teaching to a packed room. Every student talks, and you see your impact.
Motivated students
Engineers, managers, entrepreneurs. They pay to learn, show up ready, and have real goals.
Planned lessons
It's not just free chat. Every class has a planned lesson by CEFR level, professional scenarios and clear progression. You lead it and correct in the moment.
Online or in-person in Bogotá
Online classes from any city in Colombia. In-person in Bogotá only. You choose.
Clear pay, paid monthly
From $60,000 COP per class hour online, $70,000 COP in person in Bogotá. Lessons are already planned, so you're paid to teach, not to prep. After 3 months, we review your rate together.
What is the team like?
A diverse team of native and fluent English speakers already living in Colombia, sharing one goal: making students actually speak.
Is this you?
We're not looking for a perfect CV. We're looking for native English speakers already living in Colombia who genuinely enjoy teaching.
You live in Colombia
Bogotá, Medellín, Cali or anywhere. Online classes from wherever you are. In-person, Bogotá only.
Native English speaker
For now we only hire teachers whose first language is English. We don't judge accent — we look for clarity and the ability to connect with adults.
You can lead a structured class
Planned lessons, levels and a clear goal per session — not free conversation. Lead with purpose, correct in real time, keep the group's pace.
Mornings, evenings, or both
Morning groups Monday to Friday, evening groups Monday to Thursday. One or both. No fixed minimum hours.
What do teachers ask us?
Do I need a teaching certificate?
Not required, but a plus. What we value most is the ability to connect with adult professionals, lead a structured class, and help the student genuinely progress.
How much do you pay teachers?
Our starting rate is $60,000 COP per class hour for online classes and $70,000 COP per class hour for in-person classes in Bogotá. Every lesson is already planned by our team, so there's no unpaid prep: you show up and teach. Teachers work with us as freelancers and are paid monthly. After your first 3 months, we review your rate together based on student feedback, attendance and how many students keep coming back. Strong teachers move up.
Are classes online or in-person?
Both. Online classes are live, from anywhere in Colombia. In-person classes are Bogotá only. Online pays $60,000 COP per class hour; in-person pays $70,000 COP.
When are the classes?
We have morning groups Monday to Friday and evening groups Monday to Thursday; exact times depend on the level groups. You can teach mornings, evenings or both. There's no fixed minimum — we fill your schedule based on your availability.
What are the students like?
Max 5 per class, grouped by CEFR level. Working adults — engineers, managers, entrepreneurs — who pay to improve and show up motivated every session.
What's the selection process?
You fill the form, we reply within 48 hours. If there's a good fit, we do a trial class together — no pressure. No endless process.
Do you hire non-native English teachers?
Not for now. At the moment we only hire native English speakers, meaning English is your first language. If that changes, we'll say so on this page.
Modo Inglés is an online English school based in Bogotá, Colombia, hiring native English teachers across the country — including Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena and beyond. Whether you're an expat, a digital nomad or a long-term resident, if you already live in Colombia and English is your first language, we want to hear from you. Teaching happens online from wherever you are — in-person classes are Bogotá only.
