Teach English on your phone

[@BohoChicSA]

2019 Announcement- Hey guys, The chinese government Passed a new law this month (March) - All people who teach English online must have a tefl certificate.

[@trueCrimeGuruYes]

Even if you have a masters degree in English you still need a tefl?

[@chiedza__d]

Hey. Can one reapply after being rejected?

[@sooofunny37]

is that hard to get?

[@valmontmoore8301]

thanks for sharing , so how do you provide them the tefl certificates , ? I have two I find it hard to communicate with them .

You really are becoming smart and vibrate in your presentations. Keep on nailing it and being comfortable and confident in the Digital World. Thanks for the exposure and sharing it on this platform.

Great video! You were very thorough about what PalFish offers on the FreeTalk side. I also have a few videos about PalFish focused on the Official Kids Course. Happy PalFishing!

What a cutie! Great informing video too. I just downloaded the app. Thank you for your help.

[@lifegivingstream]

Thank you...I'm so excited to get out of school and onto the net!

Hey Trish... Can you please make a video on creating a payoneer account and how to use it in SA or give any information on how to go about it. I think this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Trish!

Hi Trish what is your classroom set up like background and lighting

[@MariahM21]

Oh wow! I’ve been watching your videos and didn’t even realize I watched your live video on PalFish the other day about life in China! 😂 small world!

[@ibrahimmohamed713]

Thanks a lot for these couple of information

[@BohoChicSA]

Hey guys, once you have created your account do not apply to be an official teacher. Hit the start tutoring button.

[@Sixfigureswithnerissa]

Hi I just applied I did the audio intro and few other things waiting for verification how long does this take

[@kellynguyenxx]

Hi, Trish! I created my account and am currently trying to find the "Start Tutoring" button. Do you know where it would be located? Thank you.

Hello. When did Palfish stop recruiting South Africans? On their website it says "hires teachers from US, Canada, UK, Ireland, or Australia"

[@zimflame2368]

Have you looked at Bibo global. It's a good company also open to all countries. Did I mention I'm watching from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

[@peacehlabyago7346]

Hi, I'm trying to download the payoneer app for palfish payments but I've stopped on the part that looks like I need to put in my actual South African Bank account details (it's part 4 I think). If they have my details won't they have access to my account for their own use?

[@EntertainmentWorld29406]

Hi hope you well.. What's the format to apply on the Palfish app.. As it has +86..what's the south African way

[@Sheilzdarlingz]

Oh my word only came across ur channel after 3yrs

[@renaes2008]

As of January 1 2019, Teachers will be required to have a TEFL/TESOL certificate.

[@azzimac]

Hi Renae, I don't have a BA degree. Would you know if I still apply to work for DADA.

[@renaes2008]

@@azzimac You can teach on PalFish with no BA as far as I know. But you may not qualify for the PalFish official kids course. My advice would be to join PalFish and then get your TEFL certificate ASAP. You can get one for as little as $25 on GroupOn. Good luck!

[@azzimac]

@@renaes2008 Thanks Rene

[@acousticsoul_4629]

Thanks for making this video it was very helpful and I can't wait to begin teaching on Palfish!!!!!

[@chilli1352]

Thank you for your video. I have applied for freetalk. It has been a week now and still showing verifying. I have sent them messages no one replied. Any help on how to contact them.

[@ThePalFishCoach]

Thanks for the comment about TEFL now being required. Would you consider changing the video's title? I know that once PalFish rejects an application, you can't reapply... and since people don't always scroll down, it might be good to have that info in the title. The good news is one still doesn't need a bachelor's degree! Sorry-- I hope that doesn't come across as rude-- I love the video! I just think that changing the title would do more than having a comment.

[@LaurensHazelEyes]

Thank you so much, I couldn't find the correct app.. but thankfully your video showed me everything I need! Yay

[@phumudzomalaka3326]

You have a great personality

[@eeoyre0508]

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I am a brand new teach as in I am still writing my cv, do you have any tips for me about introducing myself in my video that will make students/parents trust such a new teacher?

[@World_Overcomer]

Is the Sound Check a requirement on Palfish? The reason why I ask is because the picture book is in Chinese

[@zakithiganyaza9168]

Wow I taught you dont take South Africans I'm glad to hear you are a South African! So if you have a degree in teaching do you need TESOL certificate?

goodday . Thank you for the video. Please help me i want to do free talk but i dont know what to do now. on the app it says waiting for verification. I have failed the interview for official lesson therefore i want to do free talk

[@c.something7804]

People call you and you answer the call, so it’s not a video chat? 🌸

[@portiabaloyi684]

Hi Trish.....please advise why us South Africans cannot teach English online via Palfish?

[@dr.terrieasley7223]

In the set up, its asking for "Upload identifications to verify". Not too comfortable uploading my driver's license (USA). Your thoughts or what should be uploaded?

[@BohoChicSA]

Hi, I uploaded my passport. All the companies that I have reviewed have wanted some form of ID. If it is the bigs ones like PalFish or dada they are safe. All teacher have to include it to prevent people from falsifying information.

[@renaes2008]

I uploaded my passport and used a sticky note to hide my passport number and address. They just want to make sure that you are an American or Canadian citizen.

[@blippyy4177]

I just want to do the conversations not the lessons.. do I still need the tefl?

[@sanjaynaidoo8199]

I have a difficulty with pay pal how to transfer as well

[@dbguat.1213]

I have a question, l am living in Guatemala and the cell phone service plans here is pay by minutes. When students call you from the app, it it on Wi-Fi "time" or connection or from the cell phone service/plan time?

You now need a Tefl on palfish as of April 1st 2019 so the advice on the video is now out of date.

[@elia.8993]

How do I teach actual lessons using a phone?

[@rooipeper]

Hi Trish! You must be talking about Palfish OFFICIAL KIDS COURSE.... Free talk = absolutely NO students. On the very first day I had 3 scam calls, that I luckily did not have to pay for. Since then....NOT ONE PERSON, not one. I have tried moments etc... What are you supposed to do to get any of the 300 000 000 + people/students from China who want to learn English? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Why do all the pal fish people use their hands in a really unnatural way that is like their using some bizzarre illogical sign language?

This is not teaching English by phone, it’s teaching English online. The title is misleading.

You can only use a phone/tablet for PalFish. It does not allow you to teach using a computer. Nothing misleading here.

@@kawaiisushi6043 Hi, we have a video on this. To be honest most online teaching jobs will require a degree but you can still try as there are some companies like palfish that will hire you. Also If you have had tutoring experience like baby sitting that will make it easier to get a job too (If you do not, you can start now while getting the certificate). For the certificate we used i-to-i.com but it might be a bit pricey without a discount so check out things like groupon or daddy deals to find cheaper deals on a tefk just make sure the school offering it is legitimate.
