Congratulations! Did you get hired as an ESL mentor or trial mentor? Also, I have a question not sure if it applies to you or if you can help answer. I’m an American citizen living in Turkey. Should I put my U.S. address or Turkish address on the application? And..is it ok that my intro video is about 1 min long?

@@sarah_nary1123 Thank you! I got hired as an ESL mentor. I think you should put your U.S. address, but just be honest in the interview that you are living abroad. As long as you are available during the peak hours for students in Korea it shouldn't be an issue. I tried so hard to keep the video at the time they requested. I think I was one second over the time. I wouldn't stress about it, but if you can get it as close to the requested time it should be fine.

I like it! I will apply using your link! I have been struggling to get into Outschool but they don't hire teachers who live in U.S. territories.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Good luck!

[@steve9473]

Outschool is picky about who they hire in general regardless of where they live. I got rejected by them then applied for Booknook and was accepted in the first try. I have been with Booknook two years now. In other words, if you first you don't success try someone else.

[@TeachersPocketbook]

Interesting. As a former VIPkid/TutorABC/51talk teacher who also teach in Korea and has a US based teaching license i'd say this might be worth looking into. Especially the trials. I shifted to tutoring mostly American students online and i need more morning hours filled. I might have to curb myself from using any Korean, though 😅

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Good idea - best of luck getting hired!

[@AlexTighe]

Hey Tim! Great to see you talking about Nao Now. We spoke wayyyyy back about some other companies that are no longer around! I've been with Nao Now for over two years and can't say more good things about them. I absolutely adore my students. My favorite part about Nao Now is the flexiblity to bring your own personality to the lessons. There is no pressure to go click crazy and finish lessons. Each class is adapted to your student and you can bring in your own supplementary materials or games via screenshare. There are WAY more than 30 lessons per level. I just check and our Level 3 (for A2 students has 80+ lessons). Most of my students spend 1.5 or 2 25 minute sessions to complete a topic with me, so there is PLENTY of material to work with!! This is an amazing option for teachers who want freedom but don't want the fuss of marketing when acquiring private students. Nao Now is growing every single day and is continously making improvements to their own Dashboard. Being flexible and adaptable to change are important skills, but totally with it! Happy to answer other teachers' questions too :)

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

So glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing and yes, I do remember talking with you before.

[@mikef445]

Tim, I don't know if you'll read this message, but please be advised that the on-line application process requires you to do your own video with a G:Drive link. There is no built in video platform. Also, it appears that the job of ESL tutor I believe is only available in Texas. Again, if you see this posting can you give me any clue about your own video with a G:Drive link???? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Hi Mike, that just means you record a video, upload it to your Google Drive and give them the link. Naonow hires teachers from the US and Canada and other native English speaking countries (I explain exactly who in the video). Hope that helps! They can also help you with the video link - you can reach out to them directly.

[@prepub1]

Thanks for the very informative video. Would you happen to know the available hours? I didn’t see that anywhere on their website and would need to know before applying. Thanks very much.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

I mention in the video that the best bookings are between 6-9:30pm KST - because thats when the kids are home. Also I mentioned weekends , mornings EST, they are partnered with a US high school. They are open 24/7.

[@prepub1]

Thanks, sorry missed that. I applied for the mentor post and trying to apply for the trial as well but it won't allow me to submit. Are you sure you can apply for both?@@onlineteacherdude1284

When applying I noticed education - Texas (remote)

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Not sure, but follow the link and apply! - good luck.

Do they have incentive pay after so many classes taught or showing up to class? Thanks Tim!

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

At this point, no.

[@danielvillarreal6610]

Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan! Do they want a classroom-type background like VIPKID did (that rhymes! VIPKID--did!)? Will they accept a virtual background since it's Zoom?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

No worries about a background.

[@heyteacherapril]

Can they guarantee a trial tutor will stay 80% booked or would it depend on the hours you agree to work? Also, if they're working with a high school, can tutors teach during the students' school day or would it be after school tutoring?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

I don't know if they can guarantee anything but they want you to be booked and trial tutors see a lot of students. The high school part, I am not sure, but I would imagine during the school day.

Hi Tim, Do you know approx. how long it takes to hear back from Nao Now once you submit an application regarding setting up an interview? Also any tips/videos on how to do a successful demo lesson?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

I am not sure it matters - did I mention that part in the video? I can't remember.

[@TheOriginalNiceGuy]

How should I present the elevator pitch? It’s literally as if I’m talking to a potential student for the first time? What type of student exactly, a Korean child student? How old? And what’s the purpose? Fun? A specific test score? I’ve been the co-owner of the school in Japan for the last 20 years, teaching mostly kids. I’ve also taught university classes, high school, corporate classes, and special purposes classes, both in Japan and Canada.. The way I would dress, act, and present myself is completely different for all of these. Are they only looking for a friendly, energetic, presentable teacher for Korean children? I really need to know the specific target and purpose before I can put together my application.

[@TheOriginalNiceGuy]

Or is the video purpose to impress the interviewer? List off my qualifications etc.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

If you apply, you will have it all explained. Its not to a student :) Its a 30 second introduction of yourself so they get to know you. You're overthinking it :) Just apply and go for it!

[@kristenalmonte1110]

So 6pm in Korea is 5am or after here in the U.S. on the East Coast..New York.

[@yflores867]

HI Tim! Do they hire teachers living in California?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Good question. I will try to find out the answer.

[@chunkychunks17]

It says on the site United states (remote) and United states Texas? How are they hiring all native English speakers if they are only looking for tutors from the United States? I'm from South Africa and I have a neutral accent, do you think they would accept a tutor like myself?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Thats not right. Did you watch the video? I said they are hiring Native English Speakers with a neutral accent - yes, go ahead and apply!

[@danielvillarreal6610]

Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼! Do you remember when VIPKID required something like 6 hours minimum per week? Does Nao Now require that? I didn’t notice in your presentation. 😊

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

VIPKid never required any minimum and neither does Naonow I don't believe.

[@teachergoran]

Are there any students outside the peak hours? Also, do you happen to know minimum weekly hours? Thx!

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Yes, as I said in the video there are adults and they are partnered with an American high school. No min. hours.

[@oladapodamilola5191]

Hello Tim, just coming across this video. Do they hire native speakers from Africa?

Native English speakers yes, but not sure from Africa - are you from SA? Can you apply and find out. or reach out to them?

Hi, Do you know if there is an age limit for online teaching?

I don't see why there would be but some companies in China used to limit based on laws but now that most of us are going independent, age doesn't matter!

[@Isabella-zn6lp]

Hello there Tim, I have one doubt, why does having an unrelated Bachelor's Degree overcome experience and a TEFL? What do they need the Bachelor's Degree for? It doesn't make any sense, I find this to be so frustrating, is there a way around this if I have TEFL + teaching experience?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

If they require a bachelors degree, there is no way around it unfortunately. I agree, doesn't really make sense!

[@AM-jz7zn]

I applied and did everything- props, cards, child friendly background and have five years of experience online esl with masters degree and I was just rejected. Do they accept reapplications in the future? If so how soon can one reapply?

[@AM-jz7zn]

I get the sense that this company does judge and discriminate based on the way you look or what you wear whether you have a native accent and good experience or not

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Sorry to hear this but I don't think they discriminate at all - did you reach out to them?

Nice, give it a try or try going on your own to teach students independently of a company if you're having a hard time.

[@stardusts7342]

If this school discriminates against non-native English-speaking teachers, then it's just shameful to shed light on them !

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Sorry you feel that way. Personally, I wouldn't say something is shameful to share because it targets a particular group of people. I do also share companies in previous videos that hire non-native speakers too. If a company hires only those with a Bachelor's degree, is that shameful to? Where is the line on what is shareable and what isn't? Anyway, there are companies that hire non-native speakers too.

[@user-yk4hp2zv7t]

Why? Students deserve a native speaker. I was hoping this was a Chinese company.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

@@user-yk4hp2zv7t Well, I think non-natives can be just as good. - often its a matter of preference and a company has the right to produce a product that their customers want.

[@nicolelorenzoni4720]

​@@user-yk4hp2zv7t Students deserve a competent teacher. I quit the ESL industry two years ago, and I am astonished that this native speaker preconception is still going on--a philosophy that actively undermines non-native speakers and skilled teachers alike. I have encountered a concerning number of students who have bought this "conversation with a native is the way to go" philosophy and it shows, especially in language certification exams. And the problem there extends beyond just grammar (the alleged "weak spot" of native speakers), but also includes vocabulary range and overall oral proficiency. As for the "if a company hires people with a Bacherlor's degree, is that shameful?" point, it wouldn't. Companies have the rights to outline their preferred requirements for applicants and employees. However, there is a significant distinction between differentiating candidates based on degrees and qualifications, which are earned through effort and dedication, and doing so based on where the applicant is born-an inherent and unalterable characteristic. Nativity is not something people get to control or choose, and selecting candidates on this basis denies opportunities to qualified individuals who have refined their skills through education and experience. Having said that, thank you OnlineTeacherDure for your services. You have helped me massively in my teaching days.

[@uberglamazon]

Why do you think you can tell a company who they can hire? They get to decide their minimum requirements. If you do not like this job move on, get over it. So tired of this entitled attitude, maybe teach your first language to get an advantage?
