Based on the findings and related studies, the following conclusions were derived: Firstly, Online ESL Teaching provides vast opportunities for teachers for personal, professional, and financial growth.

Thirdly, the leadership competencies of Online ESL teachers can be enhanced through mentorship and coaching.
