[@maggiekleppinger6198]

your link does not match your video. It doesn't bring me to the application page.

[@MrssangeT]

Helpful tips, can I use ur referal, I applied already, but only short with referal

[@teachwithalejandra]

@@MrssangeT of course!

[@KerryAnnDaley]

Thank you so so much! The first time I did my application it was rejected, then today I did everything you said and it was approved in a few hours! Thank you God and thank you Alejandra. You are a blessing :)

[@teachwithalejandra]

Congratulations!!!

[@ShaiShaiLaBam]

Thank you! I used your tips and was accepted the same day!

[@teachwithalejandra]

Yay! I am so happy for you :)

[@carlinhadlock5812]

I used your helpful information for my application and was approved to teach shortly after submitting it. Thank you so much! Now, I'm working on completing the profile.

[@teachwithalejandra]

That is so exciting!! Congratulations!!

[@tanyas.9688]

Omg!! I was enjoying that class so much, and I was sooo sucked in, that I was actually startled when you stopped! Hahahaha. You're an AWESOME teacher!

[@teachwithalejandra]

Too funny! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@bl4wright]

Thank you so much for your advice. It took the stress out of completing the application. I got accepted. 😭 I used your link. Thank you!!

[@teachwithalejandra]

How exciting!! Congratulations 🎉 If you have any questions let me know 😊

[@hedmang]

Just added you as a referral because your video helped me get in! Thanks!

[@shonatheartist6171]

I am so thankful I found your channel!! Omgosh you are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this info! I’m excited to do this! I’ve been on YT trying to understand more about OS because I want to teach art. I already teach art at my daughter’s homeschool co-op, but I want something more. This sounds perfect! I must say I am very nervous & I’m praying I just step out on faith even when I’m scared. I believe I will enjoy teaching on OS. I would love to get your help with starting. I ordered a cute art backdrop (something simple) & I just need a small desk to place in my room. 😊

[@teachwithalejandra]

I’m so glad my channel has been helpful! ❤️Excited for you to start on Outschool 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@cozy_adventures_gaming]

girl your channel is amazing. Im in the process of applying and your channel is so resourceful.

[@teachwithalejandra]

I’m so glad it’s helpful ❤️

[@berkchellesfriends6371]

Hi Alejandra! I used all your hints and I got hired in an hour!! Thank you so much!!🤩

[@teachwithalejandra]

So exciting!!! Congratulations!! 🎉

[@wahoofamily]

Very beneficial - especially the zoom recording bit!

[@teachwithalejandra]

Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@workoutworship-_mary]

Thank you very much Alejandra for this video. I am really thankful that I stumbled upon this. It is very clear, informative and thorough.

[@teachwithalejandra]

I’m so glad it was helpful! 🙌🏼

[@rachelle_banks]

Thank you for this. I did not know that I could use bullet points but I will do that. And I have been teaching classes independently on Zoom for the last couple of years. I think that out school will help me reach more children and create a heightened social experience for the children who are usually in my classes. I plan to go home and submit my application today. I have been almost doing it for over a year and it's just time.

[@teachwithalejandra]

Yes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 If you have any questions let me know. I’m cheering you on ❤️

[@KassieCrouse]

Hi! Your video was super helpful! I am applying for a second time and I didn't know if there was a way to add your Referral code so you can see my application and look over it and help me.Thank you!

[@EmilyShelton23]

Hi Alejandra! I love your video and it's so helpful and your lesson about llamas is so adorable!

[@teachwithalejandra]

of course! Send me an email

[@lynnicecarter1210]

This is awesome!!! I’m so excited! How do you provide coloring sheets?

[@teachwithalejandra]

I create my own coloring sheets using Canva, I save it as a PDF, and I upload it to the classroom

[@prepub1]

Just wondering if once you’re teaching on OS and you travel outside the US, do you have to suspend classes while traveling?

[@teachwithalejandra]

I believe it depends on how long you plan on traveling and where your "residence" is located. It should be in the FAQ on Outschool

[@yanouckacadet6567]

once you submit a video you can teach anything you want.

[@elizabethmeals2016]

Hi Alejandra! Your videos are great and your are such a great teacher! Question- If I want to to teach ESL on the platform (former VIPKID teacher), would you recommend catering the video to ESL learners or just doing a "normal" video as if addressing native English speakers.? ESL seems to be a growing demand on the platform, but I've seen other KZbinrs say you should NOT record a class that is ESL oriented since the Outschool staff are native English speakers... What do you recommend? BTW, I am currently working as a kindergarten tutor and was a previous Middle School and High School English teacher.

[@teachwithalejandra]

Hi, I am so happy you are finding my videos helpful! Personally I would recommend creating a video on a topic you have the most experience with. So I know you mentioned you were a VIPKID teacher & a kindergarten tutor. Both of those subjects would work great! Possibly create a sample video of you teaching a kindergarten based skill (since some of those same skills are also taught to ESL students) I understand what others are saying about not recoding a class "ESL" style. So it might not be best to record your lesson similar to what you did for the VIPKID demo video but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't teach a sample ESL class. Hope that makes sense. If you have any other questions let me know! Cheering you on!!!

[@elizabethmeals2016]

@@teachwithalejandra Thanks Alejandra! Yes, I think I will create a Kindergarten type class that would also work for ESL, and just teach it as though addressing native speakers. Thank you for the input! Just fyi, I would use you as a referring teacher, but I had already created an account a while back and I don't think you can retroactivate a referral (If you know differently, let me know). But I did just purchase your board games bundle from TpT to use with my Kindergarteners! :) Thank you for all your hard work! :)

[@teachwithalejandra]

That sounds like a good idea! Aww you’re too kind. If you didn’t use someone’s referral link you should be able to enter my code (ZOkROTAk) but if not that’s okay too. Thanks for the support! ❤️ Can’t wait for you to start with Outschool!!!

[@amnestyalston8953]

Thank you so much for the valuable info. I've been on the fence for a while but now I think I'm ready to try it out. For some reason, I couldn't sign up with your code. Can you help me with this because I would love to have your affiliate extras! Thanks again.

[@teachwithalejandra]

Hi! I’m so glad you found this helpful! There should be a spot in your Outschool account where you can add the code (if you are still in the application process) If you need further help email me at [e-mail]

[@miaballard599]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make spaces between paragraphs (or to move to the next line to make a list) in the application boxes; for some reason they all combine into one big text block as soon as I click out of the box. Any recommendations for this? It seems so small and technical but really makes a difference in the organization of my answers!

[@teachwithalejandra]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! Sorry I didn’t see your question earlier, I hope you were able to figure it out.

[@anugandulasricharan3735]

Hi Alejandra, Seen your video .Really impressed with the way you are teaching. I am an Indian citizen. Am I eligible ? Is US Nationanlity Mandatory

[@teachwithalejandra]

Hi, it depends on where you live. If you check the Outschool website they will let you know which countries are currently eligible.

[@a.caicedo7552]

how did you give them the coloring page? Did you put a link in your google slide?

[@teachwithalejandra]

I uploaded it to the online classroom

[@terrencesaffonjr5265]

I no that outschool use zoom for there class how do you use zoom for longer then 30 minutes on the free account or do i have to pay for a zoom subscription ?

[@teachwithalejandra]

When you teach on Outschool you do not have a time limit on Zoom. The fee is covered for your classes

[@treegee3143]

Thanks, I want to apply this week. I plan to use your referral and I want your help. Once you track your referrals what do you do next.

[@teachwithalejandra]

The first step is to start the written portion of your application. You can start filling it out and then send it to me at [e-mail] & I can share any tips/feedback to make it better.

[@treegee3143]

@@teachwithalejandra Thanks so much. So I can save progress without having the video part done ? I would like to have it submitted by Saturday or Sunday if not before. The video is what's slowing me down.

[@teachwithalejandra]

You can save your typed answers in a document & then send it to me so I can review it. The video portion isn’t too bad. You can do it 🙌🏼

[@joykbrown10]

I’d like to include your referral but I have already signed up and started my application. Is there a way to add a referral without using a link at the beginning?

[@teachwithalejandra]

You should be able to add my code “ZOkROTAk” Otherwise you would have to sign up again with a new email using my link in the description box. If you have any questions as you’re going through the application process let me know! 🤗

[@konchadachandini9418]

Hi I am applying for teacher. Would you be able to provide referral code for my Outschool application?

[@teachwithalejandra]

Hi, of course here is my referral code (ZOkROTAk) Let me know if you have any questions!

[@konchadachandini9418]

@@teachwithalejandra Thank you so much . Does this code helps in approval for teacher application or ?

[@aliazahiree9283]

Do I have to have my camera on if I am teaching.

[@teachwithalejandra]

yes!

[@lynnicecarter1210]

Could my class be like a reading circle?

[@teachwithalejandra]

It could be!

[@jmartinez7308]

So can you use bullets or it has to be paragraph form?

[@teachwithalejandra]

You can use bullet points, I just recommend using complete sentences

[@Icydragongaming]

We have enough teachers on Outschool. It is not a get rich quick platform. Teachers have to be ready to provide excellent customer service, and to focus on the needs of the families and children.
