Hey y'all

Which companies allow teachers to teach from mobile devices and tablets?

I know preply is one of them but can't recall others. Any input is highly appreciated.

Thanks

So I have a Preply account, my account is visible and I have set up my availability.

It’s been a few days and I haven’t received any interests, notifications or anything.

How long would you say it will take me to get my first bite/lead?

I was just at a gym class and really appreciated that the teacher methodically ordered activites to activate muscle groups before using them (i.e. squats before one-legged balance).

It got me thinking...

Listening for one word or one piece of information in a spoken dialog before doing oral comprehension.

Using some type of vowel chart to practice sounds before tackling pronunciation. My fav https://www.colorvowel.com/interactive-chart

Hmm.Maybe forcooldown, I could have the student repeat the meeting time in a rhyme: See you next Monday at four; No need to shut the door.

My mom has been teaching Spanish online for a while. She loves it.

But she kept complaining about how time-consuming (and boring) it is to schedule classes and keep track of payments.

All existing solutions were bad, old, and expensive.

So I build Waterlesson to help her out.

Now she spends all that time reading, writing, and sunbathing. And funny enough, gets more classes booked.

You can use it too at waterlesson.com.

As a Filipino teacher, the common dumb question is “Why can you speak English?” Japanese living in the countryside can be very insular. They ask questions like “Do you eat McDonald’s burgers/ or drink coffee at Starbucks?Do you know?” It is even funnier when they think KFC is a Japanese invention. Some students don’t really know how to do small talk.. A teen started a conversation with “What’s your favorite color?”

Today, I was asked if the Philippines had a royal family. There are days when it can be annoying and other days amusing..

Hi, Tweachers! May I know your working schedule in Twenix? Are you always fully booked? And to those who have been working in Twenix for more than a year, may I know how's your schedule throughout the year? Which months have low bookings and for how long? Thank you. :)

Hi! I received an email from Tutlo a couple of days ago to schedule an interview with them. Tomorrow is the day of the interview, so I would like to know whether someone can tell me anything related to the interview process.

I would really appreciate it.

I'm just wondering what are your monthly net profit from websites like preply and italki?

Can you depend on profits from these websites or do you consider them as an extra way to get more income?

Do people in countries that have high expenses like us and canada earn more or all teacher roughly earn the same?

Edit: i know it depends on many factors such as how many students you currently have or your hourly rate, I'm just asking to get some ideas about the earnings for teachers who have many students and teachers who are still trying to get more students.

Are there any companies hiring for weekend hours ONLY? With a low minimum for weekly set hours? I already have a Monday-Friday job with a Korean company.

I have a BA in ESL and an MA in Ed Tech, 15 years of teaching experience, 10 years of online teaching experience. Bilingual English/Spanish.

Not interested in Cambly, but instead a company which supplies lessons and plenty of students.

Hello everyone I'm a 21 year old guy living in a third world country and I see teaching English online as a good way of making a decent amount of money for where I live The problem is though that I'm not a native speaker, although I am fluent in English (I think, I hope). How do I get started teaching English and making some money even if the rate is really low, I don't mind that. What certificates and courses should I aim for to follow this carrier path I'm currently a student but I'm still 2+ years away from finishing the university and the degree has nothing to do with English. Thanks for your help : )

Hey everyone!

So, I just got hired by LingoAce without the usual interview or orientation process. It's a bit unusual, but hey, let's roll with it!

From what I remember, LingoAce was founded by folks who split from Magic Ears (I think) to pursue their own venture. It seems pretty similar.

If you've been part of Lingo, I'd love to hear about your experience getting started and how things have been going for you so far. Drop a comment and share your story!

Hello and thank you for reading. I am a certified special education teacher from the USA and living in Paris. My work options are fairly limited. I have taught some ESL classes online but not for the last couple of years. I had an online interview with an online school IMMI or 51menke but can find nothing about them online. Has anyone heard of this platform before? Thank you again

Hello, I’m a breadwinner, I am currently looking for any online part-time job. Since my father passed away, things are difficult. I am willing to work during night time, and even weekends. Please!

Thank you in advance.

I work for Engoo.

A student is coming to the Phils.

I'm very much aware of what's written in the contract.

However, I've been talking to this guy enough to build a pretty solid friendship.

And he's been insisting that we meet each other.

I've said no, but are we really going to be chased down to pay the 10,000 dollar fine?

Quite scary actually. Thanks for replies. Please be lenient.

Hello fellow teachers!

I hope you are all doing well!

I have recently started a new project and would love your support and feedback. I have created an English Channel to support my students’ at home learning and I wanted to make English accessible to more people. The videos i create are short, interactive and informative. I will be covering grammar rules, vocabulary, listening, reading and much more through these videos. The channel went live today and this week i will be covering the present tenses. I will be posting 4x a week. Please feel free to make suggestions, comments, feedback and share with any students you think might find it useful. Please feel free to use it within your own teaching as well.

Thank you all in advance! Have a wonderful week!

Help a teacher out, I simply cannot deal with the extremely low rates on these platforms nowadays.

Hello, I’ve received a job offer from language master and I wondered if anyone has any knowledge/experience with this company. From what I can tell so far the app seems quite chaotic?

i’ll go first. Students who show up literal SECODS before a no show.

My question is in the title. I'm asking because I've been on in his group on Facebook and saw his website . I'm in the starting stage for my busines and could use a guide. However, I'm not 100 percent convinved if I should reach out to him or not. So I would like to know others' experiences. Thanks in advance!

How long have they been paying this horror pay to non natives?

They were hoping you wouldn’t notice, but yeah. Some fat peri menopausal office worker having a bad day once again has the once in a lifetime opportunity to destroy your earning potential for no reason other than her own hyena nature gratification. Awooooo 🐺

I've been using a Chromebook to teach however it doesn't support the screen recording feature(in Classin), so my employer has requested I get a new device. It's not in my budget at the moment to shell out for a high end laptop though. As much as I would like to.

I'm not much of a techie and would only use the device for Classin/Zoom/Netflix.

What are you all using to teach? I'm really at a loss here as to what device to get. It can't be a tablet, it needs to be something with a keyboard, that fully supports the Classin app. It's not even a very good application, but my options are limited at the moment.

Hi there!

I have been doing online classes on Engoo for the past couple of years. The low pay didn't matter much since it was just something to busy myself with at the time.

But these last couple of months, I have been feeling the financial pressure. Can you recommend some online platforms that pay better than Engoo and where I don't have to prepare my own lessons?

(I used to work in an office for a small company. My boss was a tyrant who made my life a living hell. I fell into depression, and it was my sister who turned in my resignation letter. My parents are currently supporting me financially.)

I had applied for LingoAce in the early winter, did a couple of mock classes, but didn't pass them even though I have been teaching with VIPKid since 2020.

I received an email yesterday asking me to now submit a video of a pre-recorded mock class for 5 minutes just like VIPKid used to do as the first step in their mock test. I'm confused how I'm supposed to be recording these though? How can I make a digital background for myself? They've given a Powerpoint but want us to record ourselves and is there a fake kid on the other side that we're supposed to pretend we hear?
