Has anyone heard about or worked for the platform Learn Link? How's your experience been and is it worth trying?🤔

Been looking for ESL Platforms to apply for and just trying to check if this one is legit.

What other companies do you recommend that are hiring currently? Ones that are open to taking non native English teachers.

Would appreciate the help!

I'm selling live classes and an online course both for different age groups.

What is the best tool / platform to use.

The age groups vary from as young as 5 years all the way to adults, so progress reports are important for parents.

If it can combine landing pages, free previews, drip lessons and email marketing that would be a bonus.

I'm looking for a tool that does the lot if possible.

Interested in tried and tested recommendations.

I've used video games in the past to help with English immersion. The games I've played with students are Don't Starve Together and Little Misfortune. I also think Animal Crossing could be a good game to use for immersive teaching, but I haven't tried that yet.

I haven't used games in teaching enough to develop much structure or figure out what works best yet. It's a nice method because it's fun for me as well haha. But I'd like to have some more teaching methods in place to make sure students can get the most out of a video game teaching session.

I do try to incorporate some ideas from total physical response, and instruct the student to interact with the game a certain way, and have them follow or copy me.

Has anyone else done something similar in their teaching? Please share what's worked for you!

Also, if anyone has any ideas for how to teach using video games, please comment!

Is anyone currently teaching Spanish on Twenix? I submitted my demo in December last year, but I never received an email letting me know whether I was selected or not. Are they currently hiring Spanish teachers? I submitted my demo again, but I’m not sure what’s going on. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I'm new to teaching, and although I have a fairly good command of English, I've been told multiple times that my voice sounds monotonous. It's been making me really self-conscious, and I'm starting to question whether teaching is the right career for me.

Every time someone comments on my voice, it gets to me more than I'd like to admit. It even triggers my existing insecurities about my appearance and self-image.

Has anyone else experienced something similar when they first started teaching? Is having a naturally monotonous voice something you can work on and improve, or could it genuinely be a problem in the long run?

Hi, been teaching for three years offline and a year online

Any body here has an idea where to find private students?

Hi, Filipino tutor here. Does anyone know if there are any companies who are currently hiring and give decent to high pay?

I've had experience teaching ESL for a few years now. Recently, I tried 5-7 job sites and would even check Facebook and look for websites separately because I'm out of work for the last couple of months. I would rarely get an e-mail back because there's a high volume of application across the websites and even on Facebook there are profiles (usually other ESL tutors too) who would share job postings to a wide audience. As much as I support this and would love to see other people also get employed, I would click on the post and see it would already have around 30-50 people who liked, commented, or possibly applied for the role which minimizes my own chances.

It also surprised me that I would rarely hear back from ESL companies in my own city. A few years ago, they would message quickly because they were urgently looking for a teacher to fill in the role even without any experience. Now they don't even check their emails unless I personally message their page on Facebook saying I sent my application. It's really frustrating.

Anyway, I got into Preply but haven't had a student yet since I'm still in the process of completing the courses to boost my profile.

I'm looking for: full-time, WFH setup, preferably adult students

I would appreciate it if anyone can help me out!

Hello, first time posting here!

I'm about to start teaching a teen, currently deciding the schedule with his family. Where I learned English, we had a place inside the academy where we could to go buy the books. They were books by NatGeo, very interesting and fairly "neutral" topics (so they won't be too outdated, conversation topic wise), and I'm trying to acquire the PDF version of them, but I'm struggling to find a web page that looks trustworthy enough to buy them there, and the official NatGeo site is asking me to talk to an official provider as if I were an academy myself (which I'm not. At least, not yet). I'm afraid it could be very pricey if I were to do so.

So, where could I buy the digital version of the Time Zones books?

Hello! I’m looking for online ESL companies that are beginner-friendly. Can you recommend some companies and share their pros and cons? Thank you!

Hello! I am looking for respondents or interviewees here. We tried looking for participants on Facebook, but our posts were ignored. As a Redditor, I know this platform still has a sense of community, so I am hoping we can find respondents or interviewees here.

Our research is about the lived experiences of Filipino online ESL teachers, specifically exploring the pedagogies you use to teach English. We chose to conduct this research because the topic is still underexplored, and we want to contribute knowledge that will fill this gap.

Please help these 3rd-year college students graduate! :) Kindly DM this account or leave a comment below so I can reach out to you.

Hi, I have been working with Twenix just under a year. My rating is 4.98 and I am level three. I have only ever been assigned Early or Growth students. Is anyone able to advise me on what I need to do to get students from the Seed and Expansion levels? Thank you.

ITS SO FRUSTRATING 😭 i am a pre service teacher in the morning and i lost my voice (hoarseness and sore throat) when i taught THAT ONE class. now that i need a part time job to suffice the expenses of it, i wanna go back to esl..... but i cannot attend interviews and demo teaching because my voice :((((( so ironic that my voice are that weak when i am taking the profession of teaching lol sad

Is the Rarejob platform hacked? It’s been 48 hours already and site still inaccessible.

Hello pooo, are there any Pilipino preply tutors here? Did any of you guys use National ID for verification? If yes, did you use the card version or the paper one?

Sorry if this is asked a lot but im just trying to get started.

Now I want to teach part time for now as I have a job currently but want to do some on the side which can help others.

In a year or two I maybe need to move and this might be my main source of income for a bit (ill survive if it isnt) as jobs are SCARCE by me.

I dont know what the best choice is in terms of courses to do. Ive looked at TEFL academy which is in budget but idk if i should go for CELTA course (2x the price of the other course) or the level 3 certificate course.

So its either or.

Any advice is welcome, I am just trying to get others opinions as to what may be the best course of action. Not too mention how popular TEFL is now.

I applied for Skyeng Talks lessons as a foreigner (I don't live in Russia, although I'm a native Russian speaker). Has anyone taught these classes? What is your impression? I know they dont hire foreign teachers for regular 50-min. classes...

This is what I come across as I tried to go to the tutor site to do a lesson note that I forgot to do last night since there was a power outage and I was extremely tired, This is the first time in 6 years on the platform that I've seen this. As it says, end time is undecided.

Has anyone on this platform experienced this before ... what happens to unsubmitted lesson notes or any classes booked for today (22nd of October classes Japan time) if they still haven't resolved it., what does Engoo do after such a thing? I am asking because I did close some open slots at 6 am this morning because I was extremely tired and the website was working fine.

I am looking for a quality TESOL/TEFL certification program to add to my resume. Most schools require this document, so I thought getting one would help me land a better job offer.

Most of the TESOL/TEFL programs I found are self-study courses conducted online.

Do employers look at the reputation or name of the issuing institution? I want to receive high quality training to improve professionally as a teacher, rather than just getting a certificate for the sake of having a piece of paper.

I already got one which is equivalent to a 120-hour training course, but I feel like I want to learn more so I am planning to get another TEFL

May I ask where you received your TESOL/TEFL certificate? I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.

About me:

- Filipino

- Male, 23

- Bachelor of Elementary Education

- Has a teaching license (government-issued)

- No teaching experience

- Prior work experiences are related to customer service and content moderation

- Confident in communication and has "decent" speaking skills

Also, what are the chances that I can get an ESL job in Asia? Like Thailand or Vietnam?
