[@amythomasteaches1346]

Such a helpful video, Catherine! My first Outschool class is next week so this video helps a lot!

[@ninjasa1]

What a WONDERFUL video. You are very articulate, and to the point on this topic. I appreciate you posting this as I am looking into getting hired by Outschool. I currently teach for VIPKid, but will need to acquaint myself with Zoom first. I will certainly check out your other videos for additional tips. Thanks so much!

[@brit2b]

Good job, Catherine. I plan to watch your "How to Use Zoom" tutorial. Also, I plan on looking at your record keeping excel sheet.

[@maryamnateghi5650]

Hi Catherine, I've learned alot, thank you!! I have emailed you 3 times to see if your still mentoring new teachers, have not yet heard back. Just checking one last time!

[@catherinewestbrooks]

Maryam Nateghi Hi, Maryam! I respond to emails daily and have not come across your name. So strange! Are you emailing [e-mail]? Yes, I’m definitely still helping new teachers and would love to help you!

[@catherinewestbrooks]

Hi, Emily! Thank you! I teach mostly elementary math classes, trivia classes, a sight word bingo class, and I'm working on a few others :)

Thanks for these tips!

[@laurarisdallminnesotateach4914]

@Stacie Haneline YES! Started in July. I am enjoying it. Actually just posted a video of FAQ about outschool for some potential applicants!

[@sabrinakeller5661]

Would you ever be interested in buying a journal/record book to record your lessons, student information and weekly schedule? I am wanting to teach and your tips have helped so much! Any tips for keeping organized?

[@MayraHoy]

Great tips! Do we also have to take into consideration the fee PayPal takes as well?

[@catherinewestbrooks]

PayPal gives you the option to set up a bank account to deposit your payments into and there is no fee for that option 😊

[@MonikaSouder]

Thank you so much! I've just signed up under your referral link. I will send you an email so you have my info. :)

[@jenniferharper7283]

How do I make a practice room that looks just like an outschool class will look like ? Do I go through the outschool website or just open zoom as a host ?

[@brendasprayue6001]

Thank you for the info! I have a question about Canva. I think I can figure out how to use it, but could you tell me how you utilize it in classes or whatever? I still haven't found a YT tutorial on the ways to bring in other media while teaching, and this is new to me. New as in...I haven't applied to Outschool yet. But I am working like crazy to be ready to actually teach when the time comes.

[@catherinewestbrooks]

Hi Brenda! Sure! Please email me: [e-mail]

[@shan57skinandmore45]

Hi! Where do I find the place on Outschool to put the referral code in? Can I add it once I’ve applied?

[@catherinewestbrooks]

Great question! Yes! You can email Outschool at [e-mail] and give the name of your referring teacher and they will add you manually to their tracking system. Thanks for asking! 😊

[@maryamnateghi5650]

Could the quality of my camera effect me getting hired? At the moment I'm just using my laptop, but I wondering if this should be a concern? Not really wanting to spend money until I make some!!🤑

[@gurkaur9099]

Hey! I reside in canada and want to teach graphic design. VIPkid rejected me because i am not a native speaker for English although I have studied English more than 16 years. Anyway will outschool too have a system like this ? Where in I stay in canada but not a canadian so can they reject me ? I am sure they aren’t racist. But the other way is there a possibility?

[@catherinewestbrooks]

Hi! According to Outschool's teacher requirements, teachers need to be "residing full-time in any of the 50 United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom." Here is the link to their full article for more information: support.outschool.com/en/articles/1638033-becoming-a-teacher-on-outschool

[@gurkaur9099]

I am full time resident in Canada but an Indian by birth. Therefore concerned. You think my application would be a problem?

[@trynagee5650]

Thanks this was my concern about zoom do you have to use it on a computer ? I never have

[@catherinewestbrooks]

Yes, I recommend using it on a computer as a teacher. As a student, a phone is just fine :)

[@trynagee5650]

Thanks may I ask why the phones ok for student but computer for teacher
