How to get more students on italki

[@xolilesilombo]

I watched your video on the amount you made one month, and it was encouraging for me as a South African. I’ve been working there for about three months now, and to you I say ‘thank you’. Your advice is valuable👌🏾

[@BohoChicSA]

Congratulations on starting sis!

[@thobydee4892]

what did you do to get students

[@xolilesilombo]

@@thobydee4892 I opened my calendar for more hours for about a week. Plus, italki does promote new teachers. I also changed my intro video.

[@kanyisombulawa4157]

@@xolilesilombo why did you change your intro video

[@xolilesilombo]

@@kanyisombulawa4157 I didn’t like it because the lighting was bad, and the sound terrible. Idk, but I’d like to think the quality of the video and sound matters too. Maybe it’s because I’m an actor and I send a lot of self tape auditions (video auditions) and the video and quality can put off casting directors when watching you on tape. That’s the logic I used when I changed my video😁

Great points Trish! 👍🏻

[@AhmadAli-sz2uh]

thank you so much .

[@benitakayy]

Awesome tips. I've been teaching for almost 3 months and they have worked for me so far 🙂

[@AB-kz7nr]

Congratulations on reaching your goal Trish! Also, thank you so much for the helpful video 🥰

[@reneematomana7996]

Hi Bohochic, Thank you so much for the tips. Please advise where can one get teaching material as a new community tutor?

[@terrellencube9423]

thank u so much Trish! I'm so excited, I have a interview with italki this month the 23rd! I'm nervous yet so excited. 😊

[@terrellencube9423]

@Naledi Remotely my bad😅.. man this is me everyday! .. nervous lol but thank you. I look forward to it and btw have u started teaching n how has it been so far?

[@terrellencube9423]

@Naledi Remotely what were ur prices?

[@terrellencube9423]

@Naledi Remotely eish.. yeah u right.. but I see alot of professional teachers prices are extremely highly ($147) so urs is nothing

[@mazvitaaa]

Thanks Trish! This is really helpful by the way! A question I have for you is, apart from the tips you mentioned in the video, are there any other ways in which you can market yourself and find your own students via social media platforms? And then perhaps draw them to your iTalki page for example?

[@BohoChicSA]

Hey, many countries use different social media platforms so you would have to be familier with those. However, I think you could definitely do that. I have not tried that yet.

[@thobydee4892]

girl, I'm so happy I got onto italki but I only have two students and only two lessons a week :(

[@zinhlevilakazi8596]

This was so informative, I just got pre-approved.

[@amogelangmodisathebe2151]

Hi Trish there is a video you uploaded you were teaching a 6year old. Do you mind sharing the app you used for that animated virtual lesson please

[@amogelangmodisathebe2151]

The comments are switched off on that video thats why I posted here

[@lihles.mbuyazi582]

These are actually great tips. I'm going to apply them.

[@gaosaakane]

Hi Trish, thanks for yet another awesome video.

[@gaosaakane]

May I ask, once I've set up my kids english lesson and prices. What resources can I use to ensure that I deliver quality lessons to my students. Could you suggest a kid friendly curriculum I could follow for fun and effective lessons. Something to guide me and give my lessons structure.

[@edukatzen]

Thank you for your tips! God bless! ❤️

Do you mind sharing any material fpr trial lessons and other lessons as well. I'm not sure if the material I have is conducive foe esl

[@shanadinelaipajarillo6346]

This is really helpful! Thank you teacher!

[@juliesnell2570]

I see you doing lessons with children on italki. I didn’t realize that you can children there. Do they have any lesson materials for kids?

[@nomfundondovela442]

How long did it take for Italki to approve your step 2 after your pre approval zoom call? I had mine today but I am still on pre approved

[@lebogangsehume4135]

Does iTalki require you to crate your own lesson plans?

[@BaekHae-In]

hey girl, where do you get your teaching resources

[@BohoChicSA]

Hey! I make most of them.

[@lifewithslicey]

Hey. I discovered your channel yesterday and I really love your content. Where did you do your TEFL? Which institution?

[@BohoChicSA]

I did it with I-to-I but daddy deals has cheaper options. Just type daddy deals and look on their site

[@tshephimakgopa1884]

Hi, in your previous video from 2 years ago, you mentioned palfish. I it still available for SAns and they pay through payoneer. How did you get your funds in payoneer while in South Africa.

[@CarlosMiau]

Thanks for the tips 😊

[@misskelz1977]

Hey thanks for your advice. I wanted to ask does one teach individuals or a class??? I prefer teaching a class then individuals. Thank you. Love your work 💪❤

[@sizakelenkabinde1508]

It's individuals

[@meleesmillennialmoms3210]

I can't lower my prices cause I am a professional tutor, I had a successful 21 days on italki but after that the students started to dissappear

[@BohoChicSA]

Be on the look out for our next video on how to keep students coming back. Maybe that can help

[@sizakelenkabinde1508]

Thank you so much for this coz I got hyped on my first week of approval when students were booking me for trial lessons but I felt like they were just booking me coz my trial was $1 and they just wanted to chat with no intentions to book again.😒😕

[@y-vee4473]

Hi Trisha what internet u using ?

[@tanikejoubert4026]

Hi Trish! Could you tell me what your italki profile name is please, would love to check it out, also thanks for all the great videos!

[@mthokozisiskhumbuzo4273]

Do you offer a mentorship programme??

[@aphiwevava9059]

Amazing video again.

[@BohoChicSA]

Thanks for watching.

[@suzie9616]

Thanks 😊

[@hurainejaz7472]

I am a student. Please guide me how would I pay if I get lesson from italki. Thanks

[@londekazulu6462]

Hey, my name is Tiny and I am a teacher on italki. You can login to your student account, choose your billing country or where you are from. After this stage, you will be able to see different pay methods from PayPal to skrill etc. You choose the one you want

[@znoqamza]

Very helpful thank you

[@ADURASPRESCHOOLCARTOONS]

Can i use my phone for Italki or is it just pc

[@BohoChicSA]

I think your computer is more practical especially if you have slides. We have not used phones to teach unless it was while working specifically on a phone app

[@dr.kurhulanicolleen-jean3309]

you look like such a cute teacher

[@luyandandala5901]

Hey Trish, my application to tutor on italki was recently pre-approved but I am having a hard time downloading the success videos so that I can watch them in full length. I can't register on the Baidu app in order to download them either as it keeps telling me that my phone number is not in the correct order and I can't proceed to taking the quiz unless I download the videos and watch them in full I think. Please help me if uzokhona sis.

[@luyandandala5901]

I have also tried to contact italk to help but I am not getting the help that I need.

[@BohoChicSA]

Hi. You do not need the download the videos. You just watch them online. I have never come across this kind of issue before.
