[@chadweissert6858]

Thank you very much Teacher Tina for the great tips and tender encouragement to have grace for ourselves. You shine and rock! I recently returned to the US after living and teaching English in Thailand for 8 years. We spoke briefly a couple years ago when I wanted to start with VIPKID but never did. I’m in a tough situation now and really need to get started ASAP, preferably with Outschool because of what I’ve heard from you. Just need to get rolling and decide what to teach. Starting today I’m going to dive into all your content and resources. Thank you again so very much!

[@KristinaGarcia]

Hey, Chad! Just wanted to check in on here and see how you're doing? Still back in the US?

[@WrightIdeaswithSusan]

Thank you Kristina. These are such great ideas and guidance for online teaching. I just found your channel today and I will be sharing this link with Children's Ministry volunteers. So many Sunday School teachers have been thrown in the deep end and having to do online Sunday School and they are exhausted! These simple ideas will be such a help. Can't wait to have a watch through your other tutorials. God bless you!

[@KristinaGarcia]

Hey, Susan! Thank you so much for your kind words. I love that you found the video to be helpful enough to share with your Children's Ministry Volunteers. I would be honored to hear if you have any more video requests that would help them---please feel free to email me if you want to talk about it: [e-mail].

[@KATSKAVERN]

In the TEFL diploma, classroom dynamics are a study topic part of teaching skills - this video deals V much with 'classroom aesthetics' and can be just as important to get as rights as good eloquence, grammar, detail, attitude etc. I don't think surface concerns will EVER take away from a good teacher who is knowledgeable and professional and enables an excellent student but it is SO important to consider these elements. Bit like a tutorial on visuals.

I've never held an online class before, so a reason came for me to do so soon, and I typed on my search button " how to teach a class online." Your video appeared first, then I clicked and voom! It was so exciting. At the middle of the video where you talked about appearance, I paused a d contemplated if I should show my face. Couldn't I just use text and pictures all through 😅? I was partly convinced to show my face, because it would build more credibility for me on my online platform too. So i want to kinda draw some courage from you 😅😅😅😅
