OUTSCHOOL. 10 HARD TRUTHS about teaching on Outschool.

[@nitahudson343]

I really like that you touched on competitive classes potentially helping your classes. Outschool has been running FB ads for another class like mine (it’s about puberty for girls). At first when I saw the ads, I was pretty down, but then things changed for me. Those ads have actually increased MY class sizes and increased demand for my class.

[@Azeminad]

As a parent Outschool is by far the best resource I have during covid lockdowns for socializing. I’ve never had a bad experience and my kids have a class pretty much every day.

[@TheGhilliesniper88]

You made some really great points. I love teaching on Outschool. The 30% does not bother me now. I used to teach for VIPKID and now I basically feel like VIPKID was robbing teachers blind with how high there cut is.

[@TeacherKellyTag]

I like the fact that we can talk to parents. Good point about the competition.

[@teacherdanielonline]

Coming from VIPKid, it was a big shift in that parent communication department.

Thank you for being so honest and helpful. "My friend" wants to apply because he's looking for something with a little more control. Wow, that was pretty impressive earnings for five months! Was glad to hear that full-time income is possible. The hard truths are very helpful indeed. Thanks!

[@climateteacherjohnj7763]

Thank you for your honesty about the struggle because these other videos, "how I made $1,000's my first month!" are absolute hype and all about recruiting from people who go on to sell make-up or friggin' lifestyle videos! The reality is, after six months of hit and miss, disappointment, constant revisions that contradict each other (oh, yeah, they're bureaucrats), and 40+ "canceled for lack of enrollment" notices... um, I'm living off the food bank handouts and digging in dumpsters. It's not all that they make it out to be. At. All.

[@teacherdanielonline]

Outschool does not work out for everybody. Thanks for your comment.

[@cartercottage4758]

I would love for someone to look at my schedule and classes and see what I can do better. I'm going to put my face in my thumbnails right now and change most of my classes to one-time classes. I really hope this helps. I currently have five classes scheduled every day at all different times so I can see when the best times are to offer classes, and usually if I'm lucky, I will get one student, total, for the day. It's getting discouraging, but I'm going to keep trying! Thanks for your video.

[@readwithDavid]

Great video Daniel. Thank you for taking the time to create this content.

[@thewfhmommy]

I agree with what you said about competition. There are classes on OS similar to mine, but not exactly like mine. If students like my niche, having them take other classes keeps them interested in the niche and coming back for my unique style and perspective. awesome video!

[@teacherdanielonline]

Exactly! And when they scroll down on the other class listing, they will see a section of "Classes like this". Often times, your class will show up there and lead to more eyes on your classes.

[@EnglishwithJulie]

Thank you! I got rejected the first go round. Applying again and preparing much more this time.

[@teacherdanielonline]

That happens to most people! Stick with it.

[@karencarleen8523]

I was so nervous, starting out watching this because I’m just starting out but I love that you brought something positive to each con. You’re awesome! I already started my application and I wish I found you sooner because I would love your help!!!

[@teacherdanielonline]

Thanks so much. Outschool is not perfect but it’s still the best. Good luck on your application!

[@rhondacooley455]

Sage advice Daniel, thanks for sharing!

[@teacherdanielonline]

No problem! Thanks.

[@melvingrayson6272]

Thanks very much Daniel for that informational Heads Up!! I'm very interested!

[@samcanada1000]

Very well presented and produced. Thank you Daniel.

[@jackieotto8522]

Thanks for the video and I clicked the link for help with the application process.

Hello Daniel! First of all, I wanted to let you know that you are absolutely amazing! Second... I plan on teaching Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. What are my chances of getting hired?

[@teacherdanielonline]

Thanks! I think those classes could do great on Outschool. There is always a need for tech-based classes.

Thinking about teaching

[@Laurendoesflips]

Hi! I would love some pointers on how to get more students! I just taught my first class today. I had one awesome student! She was awesome but I just had one student a thirteen year old who signed up to learn about chemical reactions. I have a learning about the periodic table with coloring class up with no takers yet :( Do you have any advice on how to be successful as a high school chemistry teacher? I have taught math I (typically freshman math), taught chemistry and AP chem. I am thinking I am going to need to create different content for different types of students. I also coached competitive gymnastics for ten years so I was thinking of making something for kids who love gymnastics. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks!! :)

[@teacherdanielonline]

Ongoing classes are the most popular right now. I would suggest opening up some of those if it fits your material.

[@reetskayongo7365]

hello Lauren , what class do you teach? Am looking for a lead to a grade 2 teacher probably with a well designed program for a spanish speaking kid.

[@williamdavis5482]

Thank you for posting. Have you any suggestions since I have just passes my TEFL certification?

[@teacherdanielonline]

I would recommend trying to teach more than just ESL. Yes, ESL classes can succeed on Outschool, but most of the students are fluent English speakers already.

[@reynoam4798]

Hard truth number 2 is a basic thing for teachers. How is that a hard truth??

[@joyricherson4570]

I just hears of this 2 months ago

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

I like your “outlook" on Outschool. Do you see what I did?! 😜 I'm considering signing up, but I don't see the link.

[@teacherdanielonline]

It should be working now :)

[@pedroluishernandezencarnac5087]

Great video do you have to live in the USA to teach in this platform because I'm currently living in Mexico

[@teacherdanielonline]

There are a few countries you can live in, but unfortunately Mexico is not one of them.

[@experiencespanishwithisabe5302]

just came across your video, im a spanish native speaker and im interested in teaching online but my only experience teaching is with my kids (both are bilingual, ages 19 and 6) and some friends that asked me to teach them. would you mind giving me suggestions how to prepare a class for outschool?

[@teacherdanielonline]

I would check out some sample classes on KZbin (I have some, but there are a lot of great ones from other KZbinrs). This will give you an idea of what a class looks like in action.

[@burrob78]

Shelly Duncan had a good small stint as a Yankee lol. Good ole days unlike our current state of ineptitude

[@teacherdanielonline]

Tell me about it!

[@a.hirschman1024]

I do have a bachelor degree and experience with mentor and tutoring beginner through adolescent students. I've taught faith/ethics & health but I'm in my fifties with a full beard. Should I still try to apply to these schools? Ty4 now!

[@teacherdanielonline]

Beards are cool. Classes can’t be taught from a religious perspective.

[@gailmariage5318]

If I want to teach piano and use the same book series as another teacher, is that a problem?

[@teacherdanielonline]

That should not be a problem.

[@kittyrivas8670]

Hi Daniel, I have been in out school without a referral link, is it too late to put someones referral code?

[@teacherdanielonline]

Hi Kitty, if you are already hired by Outschool, yes it’s too late.

[@stephaniewoodworth1505]

Is your 44000 just your teaching time? Or does it include your mentoring/referral bonuses?

[@teacherdanielonline]

Just teaching time.

[@Iris.2024]

How can I learn to prepare classes?

[@adriannaalba2649]

So the amount You posted on screen is not including referrals correct?

[@teacherdanielonline]

Correct. This is strictly teaching income.

[@bizzyfit2128]

Seems like you are full-time. Could I do this part-time while still doing my full-time job?

[@karlaramsey6382]

Yes, you are on your own schedule

[@teacherdanielonline]

With my prep and teaching time, it comes out to full-time hours. Yes, many people choose to do Outschool part-time and stick with their full-time job.

[@teacherdanid7657]

Yep as a sports person you know competition is good! :) I’ve been teaching with them for 13 weeks. Finally finding my groove and steady schedule. It’s been great.

[@teacherdanielonline]

Good stuff! What are you teaching?

[@HappyFarmsLa]

@@teacherdanielonline I started out with bees and Hawaiian language believe it or not and that was busy during the summer but it dropped off so I started teaching PE and beginner reading and math. K-2 ish.

Hello to you. Does outschool hire teachers who live in the Caribbean?

[@teacherdanielonline]

Outschool requires teachers to reside full-time in in any of the 50 United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England, or Wales.

Hi which countries can apply. Is it for International Teachers 🤔

[@DessertArcadia]

Do they seek a Native or ESL certificate?

There are some ESL teachers on Outschool, but it is not the biggest market.

That's strange. I haven't had this issue before.

That 44,000 is that before they take 30%?

That’s after.
