Hi Sandi. I think its important to make your own judgement. Don't be discouraged by the negative comments. Besides if you need the money, then you have nothing to lose. Also, they are reliable when it comes to payment.

Hi. Thank you for your great tips in your video. A question regarding the picture book when applying. It's in chinese. What do you need to do there? Can you teach from a computer or only your phone? How do you set up your class with a phone? You do need both hands to teach. I don't quite understand how to teach from a phone. Kind regards. Sandra

[@lifeeditwithprecious768]

Listen Sandra, the picture book is really just for your extra benefit but it doesn’t affect your work opportunities too much. No you cannot really use your computer, although they have a site but most of the filters don’t work and they highly prefer you use a phone or tablet.

No, you need an ESL certificate eg TESOL or TEFL On google play store or apple app store type palfish tutor and you should find the right app.

Do I need a Monkey toy specifically for my interview?

No, use whatever u have, but make sure it looks appropriate

[@nombusonqobile7196]

Are they hiring now ?

[@lifeeditwithprecious768]

Nombuso the best way is to apply and see. As far as I know, they are. Try your luck. They have been actively recruiting.

@@lifeeditwithprecious768 thank you so much. Quick question this might sound weird🙈 l realised that most teachers have English names😂 can I use my real name or I must have an English name

[@lifeeditwithprecious768]

@@nombusonqobile7196 Nombuso use your real name when applying and you can use your real name it's not a big deal. Children hardly even say your name. If you want, you can simplify it, but its not really necessary.

I was just checking out your video, and I really like most of what you have to say. I am one that posted videos months back advising teachers not to apply there for a number of reasons, but also telling each teacher to consider the pay and current circumstances to decide whether it is still worth their time and effort to give it a go. (I have continued to help any teachers who come asking for assistance to apply.) But as you are accusing some of us of giving false information based on rumors, keep in mind that you are new on the platform (January of this year, correct?) and there is much that you may still not know about what was happening and is happening at this time. After the law changes started being implemented in China, pay was cut dramatically (it is not about half of what is was this time last year), and it was done so suddenly and after we were all told that pay would not be reduced. Teachers started being released/fired for things that were not previously grounds for removal. We were told (it was not a rumor) that students would not be able to repurchase packages with foreign teachers once they finished their already purchased packages. Thousands of teachers left or were removed from the program (we could see the concrete numbers of teachers on the platform before and after these changes based on our teacher ratings by comparing them). They stopped hiring teachers for an extended period (confirmed by my admin) but they never announced this publicly. The numbers continued to drop. Admin from the company were removed and all teachers were grouped under one or two admin (when they were previously divided among a number of admin who would provide support). Talking to the parents of our students now, we understand why the company is continuing...because PalFish and the parents have found a way to break the law. They are using foreign numbers to purchase new class packages. This is not rumor. This information is directly from admin and parents. If they are caught or stopped at any point, all foreign teachers and their jobs will still be at risk. And as for rude treatment of teachers, much of this is regards to concrete policies that PalFish has in place. They will excuse no cancelations or absences for emergencies unless it is something like a heart attack or stroke and is "life or death". They usually do not excuse other emergencies such as early childbirth (I was told this by my admin), death of family members (even with proof), natural disasters (hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, etc.), and you suffer financial penalties for these things. So, yes! Look into the information yourself and decide whether or not this is worth it is you! But be careful about accusing those who provide warnings! Because these things are real, confirmed by PF admin and many, many teacher testimonies, and it is important that each person can be informed when making the decision that is right for them!

Brittney, I am sorry but I was not referring to you, but was talking about general advise about esl teaching advise that many people in South Africa hear of. I am sorry if you feel offended. The videos that I make are mainly for people who have no income at all. As you may know, many people are struggling. South africa for instance, has got high unemployment rates and getting paid once or twice is better than nothing. Please dont feel offended, as you have a right to your opinion. In the end, we are all trying to do good for people. Many people are poverty stricken, and as you know the rand is weak when compared to the dollar. The money on Palfish would not be too low in South Africa. It could afford other people a way to get food and stuff like that. I do know that the pay was cut, but still, half a loaf is better than nothing for some people. That is why i specifically mentioned that everyone try it out ad see how far it takes them. If it ends, then at least they would have earned a little bit of money. People are struggling, most esl companies are not hiring, so Palfish is a good option for others. I am sorry about your bad experiences on the platform. I have not worked for long on there but I have gained a whole lot of experience that will help me in the future and other people may feel the same. So far, I have not had negative experiences and have gotten my payment on time each month. I have been absent and have cancelled lessons, but did not receive bad treatment except a fine for being late once or twice. Maybe in the future and when I do, I will provide honest opinion. My opinion though does not mean that others would have to accept it even when they want to give it a go. So lets give our opinions and have people make their own decisions. Again, sorry Brittney if the message offended you.

[@brittneycheray5204]

@@lifeeditwithprecious768 oh, I was not offended! 🤗 Like I said, I really loved most of what you had to say! I just thought that it made it sound as if the warnings and concerns expressed were not based in reality, and they absolutely are! And I tell every teacher that comes to me that I want them to have an accurate understanding of what is going on so that they can make an informed decision. And I absolutely understand that this amount of money would still be very helpful to many! (I live in Guatemala, and the same is true here!) I just know that there ARE other opportunities available (even to SA teachers!), and so I want teachers to be aware of that also, because they may have opportunities to be paid their worth elsewhere! (and if PF has carried out pay cuts multiple times without sufficient warning, who is to say it will not happen again?) At the same, I know that if teaching experience is limited or success has not been found elsewhere, this really could be a great opportunity, so I continue to encourage and advise those that choose this company once they are informed! I love that you are successfully helping other teachers (especially South African teachers who struggle to be given the teaching opportunities they deserve) to find success here. I am cheering you on! 🥳

[@lifeeditwithprecious768]

Thank you Brittney, it would be great if you shared those sites as well. I will visit your channel and have a look at what else is available. I have tried alot of other companies but most said they were not hiring. Maybe you have better options. That would be really helpful. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate that you send out your honest opinion. Things are difficult for many people out there and it really pains to see people losing hope and not knowing how to get by. Thanks alot for your comments. Take care.

[@brittneycheray5204]

@@lifeeditwithprecious768 I work for AmazingTalker right now, and there are South African teachers who are succeeding there. (It’s more difficult when English is not the native language though). The nice thing is that it is very easy to be accepted onto the platform; you just have to work hard and present yourself well to thrive there. And there is no doubt that it is more difficult to get people to come to your profile if you are from some countries, but there is good opportunity there! It’s worth at least being familiar with!
