Teach at Nao Now

Nao Now is an online ESL platform focused on helping children around the world build confidence and strengthen their English speaking skills through personalized, mentor-led lessons. Our approach centers on engaging, tailored learning experiences that empower students to communicate effectively and access global opportunities.

We emphasize not just language fluency, but confidence, cultural awareness, and real-world communication. Lessons are interactive and built around unique, meaningful topics—like the science behind Stephen Curry’s basketball shot—so students stay curious and motivated.

A core part of the Nao Now experience is our teachers, whom we call mentors. They work consistently with the same students each week, building strong, long-term relationships that support deeper learning, trust, and continuous growth.

Mentors are compensated at a rate of $20 USD per teaching hour. Compensation is based solely on live instructional time, with lessons conducted in 25-minute increments. Mentors are paid only for time spent actively teaching students and are not compensated for work performed outside of lessons, including lesson feedback, reports, preparation, administrative tasks, or other non-instructional activities.
