Where we're going
That English Accent may be a startup but we have big plans for the future.
We are aiming to spread across the European market with our online lessons and host live events for students and teachers to connect in the real world.
Remodelling the hiring process
At TEA we hire the person and not the degree, which is why our teachers do not need any previous work experience or qualifications. That English Accent provides free training to all new teachers, allowing them to enhance their skills and use them in a way that will benefit our students. We want to provide younger people with job opportunities that will enhance their CV’s. We aim to be the best starting point for aspiring young teachers who want the relevant work experience to kickstart their future careers.
Bending the rules of language learning
Moving beyond the classroom
That English Accent is an online language centre based on genuine human connections. We acknowledge the importance of real-life interactions, which is why we plan on hosting events in different countries, allowing students and teachers to interact in the real word and share their experiences. It is the best way for students to boost their language skills and for teachers to connect with people on a deeper level.

Questions? We have answers!
Once you become a TEA teacher you will choose how much your lessons will cost, (teachers usually charge an average of 12 EUR for a 30-minute lesson). We take a small fee from each lesson and pay you on a monthly basis. Our fees vary depending on your previous experience and availability. Usually we will charge anything between 20% and 40% per lesson.
The premise is simple, the more lessons you have, the smaller our percentage gets!
Yes!
At That English Accent we hire the person, not the CV! No matter if you have had teaching experience or not, providing you have the right mindset and skills, we will show you how to teach effectively with our TEA method.
One-to-one Lessons:
If your student has not cancelled/rescheduled, and has not shown up, the lesson will be classified as complete and you will therefore be paid as usual.
You must wait a minimum of 7 minutes from the designated start time for the late student to join the lesson, after which you may leave the classroom.
Group Lessons:
We will always be paid for the amount of booked seats regardless if the students show up or not.
If no one shows up, you must wait a minimum of 7 minutes from the designated start time for the students to join the lesson, after which you may leave the classroom.
Some of our teachers teach in the evenings in addition to their regular job and some are self-employed. We can provide informal advice on what’s best for you.
One of the many benefits of being a TEA teacher is that you are in complete control of your schedule. You can choose to work every day or just one day a week. You can choose to work in the mornings, in the evenings or throughout the whole day. It is entirely up to you. To provide an example, Kasia (the founder of That English Accent) currently has around 40 lessons per week and is available to teach all day from Monday to Friday. Bear in mind that most students want to have lessons in the afternoons/evenings after returning from school or work.
If you choose to teach with That English Accent’s method you will be provided with a set of easy-to-follow lesson plans as well as articles that you will send out to students before each lesson. Each teacher will be given appropriate training on how to teach with the TEA method.
Here is some basic information about the TEA lesson method:
- 30-minute one-to-one lessons online.
- Ideally you will teach adults and teenagers (usually 15+).
- Conversational lessons with a high emphasis on speaking and reading in a relaxed, stress-free environment. Lessons are intended to be friendly chat sessions.
You will choose what platforms to teach on. We can give you a run-down on the most popular platforms including Skype, Zoom, Whatsapp, Google Meet and Messenger.
We will help you with advertising and promotion. If you wish to teach full-time, we can connect you with some of our corporate clients.
