Invoice templates for ESL and English language teachers billing students for English lessons, IELTS prep, and conversation practice.
An ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher invoice is issued by a qualified English language tutor to an adult learner, student, or business client for private or small-group English language teaching. ESL teachers work with non-native English speakers on grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking, listening, and specific examination preparation such as IELTS, TOEFL, B2 First (Cambridge), or CELPIP. ESL teachers in the UK typically hold CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) from Cambridge, Trinity CertTESOL, or a full DELTA or TESOL diploma. These qualifications are internationally recognised and expected by most employers and discerning clients. The ESL market in the UK serves the large population of international students, workers, and residents who need English language support for professional, academic, or immigration purposes. IELTS preparation is a major market, with significant numbers of people needing specific band scores for visa or university applications.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| General English lesson (60 min) | 38 | hour |
| IELTS preparation (per hour) | 50 | hour |
| Business English (per hour) | 55 | hour |
| Conversation practice (45 min) | 28 | session |
| Written work correction (per piece) | 25 | piece |
| Mock IELTS test and feedback | 75 | session |
For regular weekly students, monthly invoicing is efficient. For intensive IELTS preparation students (who may have short, fixed study periods before an exam date), invoice per block of sessions at booking. For corporate English training clients, invoice monthly with a summary of sessions and objectives covered. Businesses paying for employee English training often have L&D budget codes and formal approval processes. For international students, some may prefer to pay in blocks of 10 sessions to budget effectively. This gives you income certainty and the student a commitment mechanism. For online teaching, which is increasingly common, maintain the same rates as in-person. Your preparation time and expertise have the same value regardless of the platform.
