I really love how informative your content is, and I love the way you concluded the video.. I'm hoping to watch more Preply contents from you :)

Thank you Kara, greetings from Brazil. Excellent tips, you deserve much success!

Facts…I do sometimes feel like maybe I’m just not teaching them well…but it’s ok

[@keralethiba]

Exactly that! Sometimes they too have other commitments and not ready to commit to their English learning journey. Many factors need to be considered🤍

[@veronicalizekamemani8673]

Wow thank you very informative. Yes It's my first time. I am interested. I am not a teacher by profession but have a degree and I was an assistant lecturer for 1st years

[@keralethiba]

Hi Veronica. I'm glad you found this helpful :)

[@Ruendran]

Thank you for the introductory video. I'm South African too... your video is very informative... Subscribe!

You’re welcome 😇

[@colourinmyrainbow]

You are a winner! So impressed... still going strong in spite of what we are going through at the moment. 💗

[@keralethiba]

Thank you so much !!! I just find other ways to make it work 😂! At times I’d be using my phone as the camera source and my laptop for just the lessons because WOW !!

Morning dear the problem is the one of getting inside. I thought maybe it's bec I was not headphones please help me I be able to use the tools, library etc

[@karinalouw6480]

Hi Kera. Thanks for your informative video. my profile is life on Preply, but no trials yet. About 90 interest reads so far. Now, I'm a fellow Christian South African who has many years experience working with young children in a classroom setting. I'm nearing retirement but still feel able to contribute to society in a positive way and therefore I'm trying the online teaching forum.. Do you think I limit my profile by just wanting to work with young children or should I make myself available to teach adults too?

[@keralethiba]

Hi Karina 😊 I hope you’re well. Often times it’s due to our availability or price . I’d suggest you give it some time then maybe after that see what happens

[@rachidbaraka8933]

Thank you from morocco!

[@keralethiba]

@@rachidbaraka8933 my pleasure. All the best

[@zohraleona4342]

I signed up a month ago but no one is booking me . I have a Tefl and never thought before. I have full availability for the slots that are green. I am not sure what is the problem I’m getting frustrated . 😢

[@keralethiba]

Hi there, at times it takes time. I totally understand the frustration. Maybe , the acceptance process from the platforms side is taking a bit longer. At times, they do take longer to accept or try other platforms too… hope this helps

[@sandrangulube3772]

This is helpful 🎉

[@prudencemashiyane6253]

I just got approved for teaching English on Preply. This is so helpful. Thank you so much. How many lessons do you get to teach per day?

[@keralethiba]

Hi Prudence, congratulations 🥳. You’re most welcome . The amount of hours your teach it’s up to the tutor. I teach roughly 7-9 per day

[@prudencemashiyane6253]

Okay, thank you. I am getting messages that some students are trying to book a lesson with me but haven’t finalised payment. I sent them a direct message, motivating them to take a lesson with me. I hope it work. I took your advice of lowering my price to attract more students. For now I charge $3. I hope it works. Thank you so much 😊

[@listenmbanyele44]

Hi Kera. My profile went live 5 days ago. Starting at $3. But I have zero profile views zero bookings, my profile score is 95% position 3... what could be there problem because it is saying my profile is live and visible. I submitted my I D for profile verification..Is that why students can't see my profile? Thank you

[@prudencemashiyane6253]

@@listenmbanyele44 hello, I also went through a similar situation until I attended their training and made changes according to their recommendations. What I did was, I changed my profile picture and rewrote my description according to the suggestions in the training. I hope this helps

[@listenmbanyele44]

Thank you I will try to do the same

[@TheonlyPsyPsy]

@@keralethiba i just started doing lessons and I'm kinda having difficulty making proper lesson plans, do u have any tips ?

[@keralethiba]

@@TheonlyPsyPsy to be honest , I’ve only been using what the preply platform offered ( which are structured lesson plans) and other sites .However, I’m planning on implementing lesson plans this year . As soon as I get like a solid plan I’ll most def share. But, what you can do is use for instance , present simple activity on preply & then find like more present simple activities ( for extra practice) and then also find present simple discussion questions so that the student can implement what they’ve learned , you know what I mean

Hi Kera,I would just like to quickly ask how can we remove unnecessary comments when people comment on your profiles..and how can it be improved

[@keralethiba]

@@ReneeDeckford Hi Renee, Oooh , I am not really sure. Try contact customer support , they very responsive and helpful

[@ReneeDeckford]

@@keralethiba It's just soo frustrating because it due to a sick family member that I was taking to hospital and the student just sent that out which was so frustrating

[@keralethiba]

@@ReneeDeckford I am sorry to hear that. I know how some students can be. Try what I suggested above , and let me know if you got assisted :)

Hey Kera,thanks alot for the amazing content it's very helpful. A quick 1, is there a monthly limit on wirhdrawing funds from Preply. Not the amount but rather the frequency? TIA

[@keralethiba]

Hey Portia🤗. no not at all, I haven’t heard of that

[@jessicamofokeng9466]

Hello Kera. Can you please explain what the thumbnail video is all about, because the support didn't answer me and kept sending me to different people. I don't understand that I hope you know something about it

[@keralethiba]

Hi Jessica, In my understanding the thumbnail video could be your introduction video. When people see your profile your video is one of the first things they see .

[@jessicamofokeng9466]

@@keralethiba Thank you. So it is different from the video you submitted when you applied correct?

[@homestylingbyportia1105]

Hey, this could be an answer for someone else . As this question was asked 4 months ago. The Thumbnail preply is talking about is the cover for your video. So it needs to be eye-catching . You can check KZbin for examples on how to create a thumbnail. I hope this was helpful.

[@boyar1978]

when i set prices i would first determine what my expenses are and then how much salary i would need to live comfortably where I am. I am a native English speaker and I live in Cambodia so I can easily survive on 9.00 an hour if I were to have 40 hours a week. As for scheduling, I make a point not to make times i am available that I know I am likely to cancel. I like to see my girlfriend and her family on the weekends so I do not teach on weekends. I also like to have a few days off so i can be lazy or work on personal projects. Many times it allows me to have an interesting conversation topic for my students as they are always asking about what it is like living in Cambodia. I have a lot of experience with teaching students and know that many students like hearing about foreign countries and the unique things they do there. Preply is mainly a side hustle for me when I am in between schools and/or simply need spending money.

[@keralethiba]

Thank you , I’m his was informative

[@gloriamolapo7589]

Is it possible for you to help me?

[@gloriamolapo7589]

Your presentation is so informative and you speak the truth. I would like you to guide into Preply classroom. But I think it's my fault because gI didn't have headphones and I m using a phone. Now I think these are the reasons. But I would like to know where do you stay? May be you are here at Polokwane. Otherwise you r presentation is impressive.

[@keralethiba]

@@gloriamolapo7589 Hello Gloria, I hope you are well. Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I'm able to assist you and hopefully answer you as clear and precise as I can, however at this point , I'm still unsure what your question is, would you like me to explain how to use the preply space?
