Hello Anna I'm a non- native teacher of English and I have just started my TEFL Can you guide me how to start looking for a job abroad as a full time teacher of English ?

[@rickypartridge230]

Mate! That's awesome. Having watched this update video I'm 99% gonna go for it. Thanks very much. Your kitchen is nice by the way🤘🏼

[@pandabossanna]

[@MillennialsWithMoney]

Really detailed video Anna, thanks for sharing your experience! Definitely a good side hustle to have :)

[@pandabossanna]

How are you getting on with yours? :)

[@ChaiiMadrid]

This is such an interesting idea ,love it! awesome.

[@melissaphoto23]

This is a great video! the Best one I've seen. So informative and clear, thanks also for the tips. Thanks!

[@pandabossanna]

You’re welcome lovely :)

[@YG-en9od]

Thanks for the video, really insightful. Does preply do all lesson plans for you? And if you didn't want to use preply, does TEFL give you lesson plans or tell you how to make them? Thanks!

You’re very welcome:)

[@CuzItsVegan]

Thank you for this video! I made the decision that I want to teach English to foreign students and thought I would need to go back to school in order to do so (I graduated with an AA only). But I am happy to know that there are opportunities available without a Bachelor's degree.

[@andrewe.7907]

Good info!

Hello I am full time government employee I have been looking for a good way to supplement my income and have always wanted to teach English. I have, in fact, attained a TEFL qualification to do so. Your video has inspired me to use this as suggests I can work it around my shift patterns. I would love you advice on how to get started further if you have time. Thank you for the video!

[@stefanvanvliet719]

Nice video!

[@pandabossanna]

Thank you :)

[@moneytalkwithj3324]

That’s really interesting! Definitely a nice side hustle to help people and make some extra cash 💰

[@pandabossanna]

Thank you :)

[@SeeDoTravel]

Hi, you mentioned other platforms to try, could you tell me what those platforms are please.

[@ladymallowyt]

Really informative video. I signed up to the app lingbe to practice speaking urdu fluently but the app has a lot of people looking to improve their english speaking, so I also signed up to be an english teacher. It was very interesting and I'm thinking about one day giving english lessons like this

[@pandabossanna]

That's awesome, best of luck :)

[@sophiachiovitti8621]

Hi Anna - could we connect on this subject matter? I would like to know more about your experience, thanks!

[@lorenanovoaYTT]

Thank you for a great video. I'm about to purchase that same course. Just wondering if most students want classes after business hours? Or is there a good mix of both?

[@pandabossanna]

I had mostly outside of business hours personally, but that was my "set" availability so I imagine you can get other hours too, especially if they are based in places like China!

[@lorenanovoaYTT]

@@pandabossanna Thank you for replying! Continued success.

[@LookingAfterYourPennies]

I taught maths online (ex maths teacher) and I can totally recommend online tutoring as a great side hustle, there is so much flexibility.

[@pandabossanna]

How did you find clients?

[@LookingAfterYourPennies]

@@pandabossanna Through a local FB group, word of mouth and through a site offering tutoring that isn't running anymore. I ended up with regular work from a family that were travelling but wanted their kids to receive UK curriculum.

[@nochannelfoundhere]

Thanks a lot for this video. One question though is how long does Preply take to approve your profile? I've been waiting since 3 weeks and it still says that my application is under review. I'm kinda losing hope :-/ I want to do this as a Full time job but right now the chances of making it seem dim. Any guidance is much appreciated!

[@pandabossanna]

I think it took me about 4 weeks :) fingers crossed! X

[@nochannelfoundhere]

@@pandabossanna okay! 🤞

[@blackbeardteach2382]

Hello Anna, Great video, as always! You mention in the video that you got a certificate in teaching English, where and how do I get one of those? How long does it take to qualify for it?

[@pandabossanna]

This was mine: www.tefl.org/courses/online/120-hour-premier-online-tefl-course/ It's a 120 hour course, but it took me less than that :)

[@blackbeardteach2382]

@@pandabossanna Thanks! I will have a look at that!

[@NGT-eb2oy]

Hello, Anna. I'm about to apply to Preply as a tutor. Like yourself, I specialise in conversational English. Is it correct that Preply already have conversational English lesson plans ready for a new tutor? I just wanted to check this with you. Thanks.

[@pandabossanna]

Yep that’s right:) good luck!

[@NGT-eb2oy]

Hi, Anna. Did you use Lesson Plans on Preply when teaching English conversation? I'd like to teach conversation too, and I'd prefer not to use Lesson Plans. is this possible?

[@pandabossanna]

Yeah I never use the lesson plans :)

[@NGT-eb2oy]

@@pandabossanna Thank you, Anna. This is just the kind of thing I've wanted to do. Maybe something like a Word Document page, with me and the student conversing, while I write down any corrections whilst explaining. Does this sound like the kind of thing?

[@pandabossanna]

I don't do that personally, I just converse with them using the conversation starters and speaking practice, and I write down any new words on the chat with the student :) and I correct them at the end of what they are saying

[@lizyyyxxxx]

Hi I just wanted to ask how do u plan lessons for each students when teaching online? Am confused on that

[@lizyyyxxxx]

Anyone?

[@pandabossanna]

Depends where you teach, on Preply they have lesson plans you just need to decide which ones

[@Nanthuni1210]

I couldn’t find you on Preply …Please get me link

[@pandabossanna]

I’m not accepting new students

$15...15 dollars is approx equivalent to UK minimum wage ....£12 per hour approx?

[@pandabossanna]

I think UK min wage is £10 something per hour :) but I also have to bear in mind I'm teaching mostly people based in Poland where £12 per hour is a bit higher than a standard fee for this sort of lesson - but it's also a good wage when I'm living there

[@sarahberry792]

@@pandabossanna ok thank you

[@lenks1018]

Were you born in Poland ?

[@pandabossanna]

Yep I was :)

[@sarahberry792]

If you are teaching all day and you let all lessons overrun by ten mins though it could prove problematic. But thank you for this informative video.

[@pandabossanna]

Oh yeah no 100%, and I do try keep most of them to time :)

[@sarahberry792]

@@pandabossanna yes...otherwise you would be worn out lol. Thank you for your content.

[@barryloraine9028]

In your last roundup of side hustles you said you'd only made £154 out of teaching. If you can make £15 an hour why was that so low. Surely for someone with your ability this is easy money if everything you've told us is true ?

[@pandabossanna]

Because I didn’t teach many hours that month, plus I said $15 not £15 :)

[@briannaoppong-antwi9702]

Cambly is $10 an hour, so not worth if.

[@pandabossanna]

Is it?! Do you not set your own rate on Cambly? That's mad if that's the case!

[@briannaoppong-antwi9702]

@@pandabossanna no you cant. It’s $10.20 an hour (17 cents a minute) no matter how much or how long you teach. So during priority hours if you don’t get such (which you definitely will, there are so many students), you make $2.50 for those 15 minutes. I lasted less than a week on Cambly. It is so not worth it. You have to work all day long, to make any kind of decent living, and talking to so many different people (more than 20 a day sometimes) is incredibly exhausting.

[@briannaoppong-antwi9702]

How much is the hourly rate?

[@pandabossanna]

You set your own rates :) mine is $15ph but that's quite low
