Language Tutor & Teacher Jobs
in Los Angeles & online worldwide

Language teaching is a very rewarding career. For many students, learning a foreign language is a lifelong goal. At Strømmen you set your own rate and schedule, and have many opportunities to earn more than a standard hourly rate by leveraging our extensive marketing email list and offering a group class. As the teaching environment changes, it’s important to align yourself with a great agency to be more competitive. We look forward to being your partner in your language teaching career.

If you have experience teaching, you can become an international language teacher by listing your services on tutoring websites. Some have thousands of tutors and you have to compete with all of them. At Strømmen we look for quality over quantity, which helps you as a tutor and helps our students.

Yes, foreign language teaching jobs are in very high demand. Besides being a great language teacher, you also have to be professional and self-motivated. It may seem like you’re swimming in an ocean of language teachers, but if you’re a great, qualified teacher then you’re always in high demand at Strømmen.

The more qualifications the better. For some companies you don’t need any. Ideally you should have a college degree (in the subject you’re teaching is a plus), experience teaching by yourself or at other agencies or language schools, and above all a great personality.

We deliberately maintain a smaller roster of tutors, so you don’t get lost in a sea of competitors or feel the need to constantly undercut your prices. This lets us focus on quality over quantity and provide a platform where your skills are genuinely valued. You won’t be just another tutor competing on price — you’ll be part of a select group of professionals sought after for their teaching and personal approach.

• Expertise in their language — native speakers or high fluency, with a deep understanding of grammar, nuance, and cultural context.
• Educational background in languages, linguistics, or education is highly regarded, though not always required.
• Teaching & tutoring experience — a proven track record. For CA and other US states, you must have tutored professionally for yourself or another agency.
• Passion for teaching and genuine interest in students’ learning journey.
• Interpersonal skills — patient, empathetic, able to build rapport and adapt.
• Professionalism — reliability, punctuality, and clear communication.

Yes, creating a profile on Strømmen is free for tutors. We provide a platform that connects skilled language educators with students looking for high-quality, personalized lessons — so you can focus on what you do best: teaching and inspiring students.
