Become an online tutor with MyIT and teach students outside the Philippines. You tell us your subject and the hourly rate you want to earn. We find the student, handle the admin, and take no commission.
No sign-up fee. No commission. You never pay MyIT a peso.
Train The Teacher has been training and managing teachers since 2008, and it quality assures every MyIT tutor. Your contract is with MyIT Global.
Most platforms set your rate for you, then take a share of it. We don’t. You tell us your subject and the hourly rate you want to earn, and that is the rate we work with. You set what you earn, and your rate is never reduced.
You name your price
Tell us your subject, your experience and your hourly rate. We will advise you on what a good range is, but the final decision is yours.
No commission, ever
Some online tutoring companies take up to 33% and only improve after hundreds of lessons. Others pay a fixed four to seven US dollars an hour however long you stay. We take nothing from your lesson fee, on your first lesson or your five hundredth.
We bring you the student, and we do the admin
Marketing, enquiries, matching, scheduling and invoicing are managed by MyIT. You will not chase a payment, market yourself, negotiate with a parent or lose an evening to scheduling messages. You prepare, you teach, you write the report. That’s it.
How the money reaches you matters as much as the rate. Most international platforms pay Filipino tutors in dollars, and by the time a payment has crossed PayPal a meaningful slice of it is gone. We pay you in pesos, through Airwallex, into your Philippine bank account.
On the 1st, we total your lessons and the portal writes your invoice for you. You check it, query anything that looks wrong, and approve it. You never build an invoice from scratch or reconcile a dashboard against your own notes.
On the 10th, you’re paid. Or the last working day before it, if the 10th falls on a weekend or a public holiday. In pesos, into your Philippine bank account.
You’re an independent contractor, not an employee, so the invoice is yours. We just do the arithmetic.
A major concern for online tutors is not the pay. It is not knowing where they stand. This is where you stand with us:
Your rate is your rate
You set it. We take no commission from it, and we do not change the deal on you later. You work as an independent contractor: no exclusivity clause, no minimum number of hours, and nothing stopping you tutoring elsewhere as well.
You are one of three, not one of three thousand
Our matching system reads the student’s request and presents them with three tutors to choose from. They choose on rate, experience and fit. Where there is no clean match in the pool, we do it by hand.
If anything changes, a person tells you why
We will not close your account or stop sending you students without a conversation first. You will always know where you stand and who to ask.
Your trial lessons are paid
A MyIT trial is fifteen minutes, and you are paid for it every time, whether or not the student goes on to book. It is free for the student and paid for by us. On other platforms a trial means a free hour, repeated with every student who fancies a look. That is not how this works.
If a lesson is cancelled, we try to move it
Cancelled lessons are rescheduled where possible, and your planning carries over to the new slot, so you don’t need to prepare the same lesson twice.
No penalty treadmill
You will not be fined for a cancellation you could not help, and you will not re-audition every few months to keep your rate. We rank tutors on lesson quality and reliability, which includes your attendance and what students say afterwards. If there is a serious issue, we will talk to you about it.
We will never ask you to pay us. Not to join, not for training, not to be listed, not for a “processing fee”, a “placement fee” or a training bond. No money ever flows from you to MyIT.
There is one cost you may meet along the way, and it is paid to the payment network rather than to us: roughly one per cent to move your monthly payment into your account. We take no part of it.
If any tutoring company asks you to pay them in order to work, stop and walk away. And if anyone contacts you claiming to be from MyIT and asks for a payment, it is not us.
MyIT was built by teacher trainers and tutors, not by software people. Everything below exists because we have experienced these difficulties ourselves, both as tutors and as managers of online teaching platforms.
We market for students globally, and new markets open as we grow. You are not teaching into one country’s timetable, and you are not competing for the same small pool of local learners.
We find out what the student’s academic and personal needs are before you meet them. The real assessment is an ongoing one, built from what we learn about your student in your lesson reports.
We are part of Train The Teacher, which has been training teachers since 2008. If you want to add a Cambridge CELTA or a Trinity CertTESOL, talk to us before you enrol anywhere. We have trained thousands of teachers and we will tell you honestly which course suits you.
MyIT uses AI to support tutors, never to replace them. It does the matching and the admin. It does not do the teaching, and it never will.
Many of the best tutors we contract are licensed teachers already working in public schools. You are allowed to tutor privately, but there are rules, and we would rather help you stay inside them than pretend they do not exist.
Under Civil Service rules, no government employee may engage in private practice without written permission from the head of department. For DepEd personnel that request goes to your Schools Division Superintendent, endorsed by your principal, and should be submitted at least fifteen calendar days before you start. Regional office personnel apply to the Regional Director.
Private teaching by government personnel is capped at twelve hours a week, and no more than three hours on a regular working day. We will never ask you for more than that, and your availability in the portal is yours to set.
There is no teaching by government employees during office hours, and taking leave does not create an exception. When you set your availability with us, keep it outside your official hours.
A copy of your approved permit before we match you with students, and your honest availability. If your permit is refused or withdrawn, tell us and we will pause your matching rather than let you carry on at risk.
None of this applies if you teach in a private school or do not hold a government post. Check your own contract, because private schools set their own terms.
We build our tutor pool around what students are asking for, worldwide. These are the areas with demand today.

Don’t see your subject? Tell us anyway. We build supply around demand, and a subject with no tutor is a subject we cannot sell.
We would rather be straight with you now than waste your time in an interview. Here is what you need to work from home as a MyIT tutor.
The Philippines has been under a declared national energy emergency since March 2026, and rotating brownouts have hit the Luzon and Visayas grids, typically for two to three hours at a time. Plan for it and set your availability accordingly. Keep a tested UPS or power station and mobile data as a backup, and avoid offering hours you cannot reliably cover. We would far rather know in advance than have a student sitting in an empty lesson. Needing a backup is not a reason we will turn you down. Having no plan is.
You are an independent contractor, not an employee, so your tax is yours to handle. Most Filipino freelancers register with the BIR as self-employed and many use the 8% income tax option. We do not deduct or withhold anything, and we do not give tax advice, but the income you invoice to us is yours to declare.
Every MyIT student follows the same five-step cycle. Here is where you come into it.
Before you meet them, we find out what the student’s academic and personal needs are, and you receive that before your first lesson. The real assessment is an ongoing one, from what we learn about your student in your lesson reports.
The student is shown three tutors and chooses on subject, level, availability and price. Where there is no clean match in the pool, a person makes it by hand. If a match is not working for either of you, tell us and we will change it.
You plan and deliver the lesson, one to one online. How you teach it is in line with the MyIT Resource Nexus and your professional judgement.
You complete a lesson report after every lesson. As an ongoing guide for you and the student, this is the data that drives improvement.
We reassess every student regularly and produce a four-monthly progress report. Your impact is visible, in writing, to the student and to us.
Parents and adult learners choose MyIT because they see exactly what happened in every lesson. Writing these reports is part of the job, and it is why our students stay. Every report covers four things.
We have a highly efficient method for completing these reports. We will share that with you, along with great samples as models.
Most platforms give you a login, a calendar and not much else. We give you the same training material our tutors work from, written by Train The Teacher.
Train The Teacher was established in 2008 and is an independent teacher training organisation working internationally. It has run hundreds of training events and trained many thousands of teachers, in schools and for the British Council Hong Kong among other leading educational institutions. Its trainers teach model lessons, author educational books and deliver conference papers. It is the exclusive training partner for MyIT tutors, and it wrote the Resource Nexus.
Four parts. Getting started, covering your contract and what to expect. Teaching strategies, seventeen of them, from error correction and cognitive load to lesson timing and teachable moments. Lesson planning, including designing for different learners. Progress and reports, covering feedback, writing useful lesson reports and the scheduling platform.
This is a sample: the contents page and one section, Insightful Error Correction. The full MyIT Tutor Resource Nexus is considerably longer, and you get all of it when you join.
Cambridge CELTA and DELTA
Get advice from someone who has trained many thousands of teachers and holds both a CELTA and a DELTA. Before you enrol anywhere, talk to us and we will help you choose well among our respected partners.
Trinity CertTESOL
Get advice from someone who was a course director and trainer on the Trinity CertTESOL for many years. We know the course inside out, and we will tell you honestly whether it is the right one for you.
We have arrangements with some course providers, and we will tell you when that is the case.

Applying takes five minutes. What comes after asks a good deal more of you, and that is deliberate.
Send Us Your Details
Your name, your subject, your rate, and a CV if you have one to hand. It takes about five minutes. A CV makes it faster, but it is not essential.
We Reply Within 48 Hours
By WhatsApp or by email, whichever you prefer. A real person reads every application.
We Send You the Pack
Five documents to your email, and we ask you to read them carefully. The list is below. Most of it matters, and one of them matters a great deal.
Your Personal Interview
At least thirty minutes, online, built around what you have read. This is the stage that decides it, and it is not a formality.
We Match You With Your First Trial Students
We only take on tutors in subjects where we already have demand. We would rather turn you down than sign you up and leave you waiting. If your subject is not open yet, we keep your application on file and come back to you first when it is.
| Document | What it covers |
|---|---|
| MyIT Tutor Resource Nexus | The most important document in the pack. Our guide to teaching strategies, lesson planning, student progress and reporting. Read it thoroughly. |
| Lesson report samples | So you can see the standard and the format we expect. |
| Completing your lesson report | A step by step guide to our platform: logging attendance, writing your report and submitting it. |
| MyIT communication protocols | How and when to communicate with students, including the rules on fee discussions, schedule changes and personal support channels. |
| Your contract | Duties, period of agreement, remuneration, sickness, discipline, breaks, termination and dispute resolution. |
We watch supply and demand closely and try hard not to take on more tutors in a subject than we have students for. If we are not recruiting in your subject right now, we will tell you, rather than adding you to a list and hoping.
What we cannot do is promise you students on day one, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that if tutors in a subject are underused, that is our problem to solve, not yours to wait out. We adjust our marketing to bring students to them.
Tell us your subject and the rate you want to earn. Fill in the form, or reach us on whichever channel suits you. We reply within 48 hours.
