You don't have to confine yourself to finding students in the same country you reside in when you're an English teacher online.
Anywhere in the world, you can find TEFL work to find students at a time of day that works for you. This will help you supplement your income.
Be sure to specify your accent when applying for TEFL jobs online; if you say you live in South Africa, they could assume you have a South African accent.
If you have a British, Irish, Canadian, or American accent, typically the most sought-after, don't put yourself at an unnecessary disadvantage because many institutions are unwilling to consider teachers with a South African accent.
