Teach English on your phone

Hey guys you can each Teach English on your phone using an app called palfish. These are my thoughts after using it for a month.
I worked a total of 24 hours when I got my first pay, it was R1440..

[@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.

[@gurutruecrimeguru1405]

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!

[@mariannepoulos391]

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

[@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!

Thank you so much Trish!!! You are awesome!!

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

[@busisiwentanzi6517]

Thank you for this 🌼

[@terrellencube9423]

thank u sooo much Trish!!

[@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.

[@ladyneek6853]

Thank you. You are so beautiful by the way. OMG!

[@brianpern7469]

Hi Trish - do you teach in portrait or landscape mode with Palfish?

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?

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?

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

Hello! Was curious to know if you still work for PalFish and how it’s currently going?

Thank you 🙏

[@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?

[@WorldOvercomer91]

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

[@kevinhawkins3146]

Can I make myself available on schedule for appointments for free talk. So is freetalk the whole day?

[@blippyy4177]

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

[@happykiddos8727]

Hi once you signed up and created an acc. Is there an interview or tech check? Thankyou for this informative video! 😊

[@Mcgrandma]

I believe you just fill out an applixationand get approved for free talk, but to be an official teacher,I had to make a demo pretending I had a student. Your phone will give you a pop up saying you don't have bandwidth which you can fix by getting closer to wifi.

[@MsGabriella111]

This is so helpful. Do you perhaps have an email address that I could reach you on so that I could get some help with regards to creating my first lesson, and building my PalFish profile? Thanks so much

[@portiabaloyi684]

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

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

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.

@@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.
