They sure do. There are many online English teaching websites which accept South African teachers. Your instructor Rebecca is South African and primarily used Verbling which accepts all nationalities. There are, however, some websites which do not accept South African teachers based on the fact that only 7% of South Africans are native English speakers. We are working on advocating against such websites as we believe that it is discriminatory to not accept applications for work based on their nationality. Regardless, there are many fantastic websites which accept South African teachers. This course will point you in the right direction regarding the highest-paying sites for South African teachers. We do not encourage teachers to sign up on websites which pay teachers less than $12 per hour and believe this is exploitation.
