Magic Ears

Magic Ears is an online English learning platform for students in China aged 4-12. It hires native English speakers from the US, Canada, UK, and other countries to deliver fun, interactive lessons. The classes are 1-on-4, meaning one teacher manages a small group of up to four students at once.

The platform provides the curriculum, so there is no lesson planning required. Magic Ears is known for its high energy requirements and higher-than-average pay rates compared to competitors. It is a legitimate and structured gig for energetic teachers who want to work from home during Beijing peak hours.
