Online teaching work for Kenyan teachers
Eduace is recruiting trained Kenyan teachers to teach online, live, for learners who live outside Kenya. You teach the subjects you already teach, from home, over a video call, at hours agreed before each lesson. Applying is free, and Eduace will never ask you for money at any stage.
In short
Eduace is a recruitment brand. It looks for trained Kenyan teachers and puts them in front of learners who live in other countries, for lessons taught live over a video call. It teaches no learners inside Kenya, it sells nothing to families here, and it charges an applicant nothing at any point.
Who this is for
Kenya trains many more teachers than the Teachers Service Commission has posts for, and the gap is counted in hundreds of thousands. If you are somewhere inside that number, this page is addressed to you.
Julius Ogamba, Cabinet Secretary for Education, before the Senate in April 2025, citing an analysis of the teacher register.
Your last classroom may have been upper primary, junior school, or a secondary class such as Form Two (Grade 10). The training counts the same whether the learner is in Nairobi or in another country.
An internship runs to a fixed term and then closes. Your registration stays with you afterwards, and so does everything you learned standing in front of a class.
Hours that nobody has claimed are hours you can teach. Lessons are agreed one at a time, so the week is built around what you already carry.
Regulation 28(d) of the Teachers Service Commission Code of Conduct and Ethics for Teachers 2015 restricts a teacher who is serving on a full-time basis from taking other gainful work. Read that regulation against your own contract before you apply, and apply once you are free to.
The clock
Kenya keeps East African Time, three hours ahead of UTC, and it never moves its clocks for summer. A teacher sitting in Nairobi can reach an after-school hour in South East Asia during the late morning, the same hour in the Gulf during the afternoon, and the same hour in Britain at night. It is the most useful fact on this page.
How applying works
The whole of it is written out here, so nothing arrives as a surprise later.
About you first. Then your teaching: the curricula, subjects and learners you have taught, your years of teaching, your Teachers Service Commission (TSC) number if you hold one, and evidence of your English. Then the hours you can teach and a link to a recording of about five minutes of you teaching. With the recording ready, it takes about fifteen minutes.
Every application is read by a person, alongside what you have told us about your teaching.
We email everyone who applies with the next step: setting up a teacher account on the partner teaching platform Eduace works through, signing in with Google using the same email address, and completing your profile and documents there.
When a learner matches your subject, your level and your hours, that lesson is offered to you, with the terms written down before you accept it.
Everyone who applies receives the email with the next step. After that, only shortlisted applicants are contacted about teaching.
There is no application fee, no joining fee, no charge for training and no charge for equipment. Nobody at Eduace will ask you to send money, to buy an account, or to pay for a place with a learner. The Teachers Service Commission and the Public Service Commission both print a warning of this kind on their own adverts, and it belongs on this one.
If anyone asks you to pay for an Eduace application, tell us. Report it through the contact page.
Questions
No. Applying is free of charge and it stays free: no application fee, no joining fee, no charge for training, no charge for equipment. Eduace will never ask an applicant for money at any stage. If a message claiming to come from Eduace asks you to pay something, it did not come from us.
Trained Kenyan teachers who are free to take on teaching hours of their own. That covers a registered teacher waiting on a posting, a teacher whose internship has ended, and a teacher working part time or on a short contract. A teacher who is serving on a full-time basis should first read Regulation 28(d) of the Teachers Service Commission Code of Conduct and Ethics for Teachers 2015 against their own contract.
Eduace is looking for trained teachers, and a certificate of registration from the Teachers Service Commission is the clearest proof of training a Kenyan teacher holds. The application form asks for your TSC number if you hold one, and your documents go on the teacher account you set up after applying.
Outside Kenya. Eduace teaches no learners inside Kenya and sells nothing to families here. Lessons run live over a video call, and the learner is in another country, usually in their own afternoon or evening.
Hours agreed before each lesson, inside the windows the clock allows. Kenya keeps East African Time all year, so a learner’s after-school hour in South East Asia falls in your late morning, the same hour in the Gulf falls in your afternoon, and the same hour in Britain falls in your night.
Eduace quotes pay per hour taught, in Kenya shillings. The rate is not published on this site yet. The rate, and the way it reaches you, are put in front of you in writing before you teach a single lesson, and nobody is asked to commit to anything before that.
Because it is new. Eduace has hired nobody yet, taught nobody yet, and has no reviews, ratings or results to show you. Everything on this page is either a plain description of the work or a fact with its source attached. A page that told you more than that would be telling you something invented.
The contact page carries the ways to reach us, and a person answers.
The form takes about fifteen minutes with your recording ready, applying costs nothing at any stage, and after the next-step email only shortlisted applicants are contacted about teaching.
