I've been teaching for Twenix for about a week now. I love that the students are fairly high level and are very willing speakers and are professionals. It's enjoyable. Unfortunately, because I live in Thailand, the pay is only six euros per hour, and after the first 100 classes they will only raise it .10 euros. So, sad trombone. But I'm going to keep doing it probably for a few more months until I can find another income stream.

@@ELTExperiences I think it was your video that alerted me to this opportunity so thank YOU. From applying to being fully onboarded took just over a month. I'm impressed by the interface. The way they have teachers handle corrections is particularly smart. Of course, the ChatGPT-generated questions are not always the best, but in those cases I do a bit of googling in advance and keep relevant tabs open for easy access during the lesson. One students seemed to be in a less than good mood. The lesson was about hobbies and she gave very short answers and I ran out of material and didn't have any backup ready. She gave me a 3. Lesson learned: always be prepared. Every other student has given me a 5.

Hi Martin. It's so great to see how well you're doing in your new life in Korea. Twenix seems a fantastic platform. Its policy of non discrimination between native and non native English teachers is a breath of fresh air. It was about time! I recently got a Delta and currently teach part-time at an Italian university, so I've got some spare time and would love to apply. Could you please tell me more about the demo lesson? Will I have to introduce myself or just teach? Will I have someone to teach to or just pretend someone is there? Will I use their platform and material or prepare mine? How did you structure a very short lesson? They seem to prefer a conversation-based approach, so did you adopt this approach for your demo lesson? Sorry about all the questions 🙂 Thank you!
@ELTExperiences
@ELTExperiences 2 ай бұрын
There is very little time to introduce yourself but you have to pretend you have completed the ‘get to know you tasks’ and just teaching the main point. It is your chance to shine and show how well you carry yourself during the recorded lesson. It seems a little odd speaking to yourself but imagine you are chatting to a friend and give it a few takes until you are happy with the brief video. I hope this helps. 😊

That's definitely not a competitive rate, so I'm a little surprised to hear you say that especially knowing how much your profile is (or was?) listed at on set-your-own-rate sites. It's barely scraping UK living wage. A little annoying that you don't mention any solid numbers in the "rate of pay" section itself either... Is there a reason you moved to Twenix? Issues with iTalki/Preply?
@ELTExperiences
@ELTExperiences 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. Twenix offer those a potential opportunity for those that hold no degree or people who speak English as a second language a chance to gain experience with online tutoring. The rate of pay is determined by location, so I don’t have specific information about individual rates based on countries.

@@ELTExperiences I am currently going through the onboarding, it is quite comprehensive and well-written (and will take time!) If you aren't able to access the platform after doing onboarding, it is worth checking if there is a section that you have not completed (marked as 'done'), as that would prevent the system from verifying that onboarding is completed. As I'm doing the onboarding in stages, I am checking all the bits are done in one part of the onboarding module before proceeding to the next.

Thank you for your questions. I assume that there are lessons available during the day but I’m not totally sure to be honest. To record your demo lesson, you can just use your laptop’s webcam, but if you want to make it a little more professional then you can then use a microphone and good headphones. The demo lesson needs to demonstrate your actual setup.

@@ELTExperiences Thank you for responding. I understand the rates of pay vary, but commonly in these situations you would at least say what you're making teaching from Korea so that people could gauge accordingly. I also found it click-baity to have a whole "Rate of Pay" chapter which you could have imagined people clicked because they wanted a number. I respect that you couldn't provide that number, but I object to your implicit promise of it.
