Unfortunately nobody can afford it in the UK because of our corrupt government. I would have an online teacher immediately because of the state of our schools, Unfortunately we cannot.

I make over 2200 euros month already and don't teach kids.

Great!

Hi do you have any more tips to pass the interview??

[@leviniadarnelnaidoo7544]

Thank u but u use very high language please keep it simple using words where we don't have to go to a dictionary

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Sorry about that but I am not able to do that. I just speak at a normal native level :) My channel is not about learning English. This video is about a company that hires native English speakers to teach.

So, a former 27-year-career professional ESOL teacher with licenses, certifications, and a master's degree gets rejected? Synthesis is nothing more than utilizing the Socratic Method Pedagogy in the classroom where the instructor's role is rooted in mentoring and facilitating. With that being said, what in the hell is Synthesis really looking for in a candidate? Absolutely ridiculous.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Sorry that it didn't work out Joe. I think they are really picky about who they hire based on their very high hourly rate. I wouldn't take it personally. I don't think 27 years as ESOL teacher has any bearing since it's not ESL teaching. Don't take it personally. They just have to be super specific in the skills they want to see in the interview game.

[@joem.2561]

@@onlineteacherdude1284 No offence, my friend. However, ESOL and ESL are exactly the same field. However, I appreciate the response. Have a good one.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

​@@joem.2561 Im very aware they are the same :) Been in this industry for ages. But Synthesis is not ESOL / ESL which is what my comment was about - having ESOL / ESL experience has no bearing on getting hired because it's not an ESOL / ESL company. I hope that makes sense.

completely outdated video. No jobs available

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Yes this video is very old and I don't think they are hiring, but you can always inquire in the future.

I hate being from California!

I'm sorry :(

[@mr.robsoft802]

This is a huge waste of time. You need to get back to sharing "real esl job" information that actually "benefits" online esl teachers.

[@mr.robsoft802]

@J Whatever that means!

[@mr.robsoft802]

@J Somebody is off their medication? I am not sure how Canada even got into this converation. I am not from Canada.

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Thanks for your suggestion Rob! However, this is a real online teaching job that many ESL teachers are working for. I made it very clear who this is for in the beginning of the video. Next time, just skip it, not every video will be suited for you. The time it takes you to write negative comments on people's video could be better spent, don't you think?

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Yes I am a Maritimer! Actually, I was born in bermuda but I lived in NB for about 9 years - mainly in Sackville, NB!

[@mr.robsoft802]

@@onlineteacherdude1284 I am just keeping it real. You used to post videos that were very beneficial to online ESL teachers. Anyway, I was just giving my honest opinion and if it is viewed as negative, then my bad.
