[@raycrou8837]

You have no idea what life savers you are. Thank you for this.

[@RhettandClaire]

In this week's vlog, we give you an insight into our lives as online English Teachers! We show you the various technical devices we use that make our lives easier and more efficient. This is helpful to all present and future online teachers! :D Let us know if you have any questions or comments and we'll see you in the next vlog 😀✌🏼

BEST decision i ever made was to go ONLINE TEACHING!! 👍 Very informative guys, cant wait to see more!

[@RhettandClaire]

Same here! So much better than having to drive in to work!😁🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BeingBedingfield]

This was super informative! It looks like quite a mission and the internet situation sounds very stressful, but it also seems so worth it! We are so ready to become digital nomads! We’ve been talking about it for the last few weeks, and coming across your videos is like a sign haha We never see South Africans doing this kind of thing, so you guys are showing us that it is possible for South Africans to travel the world and be location independent! I (Chantal) completed my tefl during lockdown, so no more excuses 😅

[@RhettandClaire]

Go for it! Vietnam is a great place to start that journey, lots of expats there, lots of support, lots of job opportunities and cheap cost of living while you’re getting setup online😊. Otherwise start teaching online now and see how it goes!😊

[@eddiejaoude]

Great to see the life of a Digital Nomad from the teacher perspectives 👍 I only know it from a coding web developer perspective. I use a long cable too 😂 30m 😱. The slate is interesting, thank you! Looking forward to geeking out some day!

[@stephanieguindon8269]

Awesome video, very helpful and useful tips! I am currently enrolled in my TEFL course and hoping to be travelling next spring! I am looking forward to following your channel and watching your adventures!

[@RhettandClaire]

Yay! Thank you for watching, we’re glad we could help you! Good luck for your teaching journey. Keep us updated😁👏🏻

[@mmstyles8745]

This is very informative! I loved this video as well as the rest of your travel videos! keep up the amazing work🔥🔥💪🏾 cant wait to see more amazing videos!

[@RhettandClaire]

MM Styles thank you Mikhial! We appreciate the support!☺️🙏🏻

[@LewisJJC]

Good info and advice here. I'm also an online teacher living in Vietnam so I know the struggles with power cuts very well... The Slate device looks like a good backup. Cheers, hope all is good for you both

[@RhettandClaire]

Thank you so much! Glad we could help a little bit☺️🙏🏻. Stay well!

[@LewisJJC]

@@RhettandClaire Yes thanks, I'm also a creator in Vietnam so I enjoyed your VN travels like Phu Quoc. Cheers, all the best for 2021 👍🏼

[@RhettandClaire]

@@LewisJJC thank you dude! Stay safe and all the best☺️🤙🏻

[@nomadiccarro]

Great valuable information. Thank you..

[@RhettandClaire]

Glad it was helpful!

That's good, learn more from you

[@DesiVagabond]

I will be moving to Vietnam in a couple of months and intend to work there as an English teacher. Got some questions such as, how easy it is to score a job for non native speakers ? What salary expectations to have ? And how long does it usually take to land a job provided I have all the requirements met. Recently discovered your channel, good job with the videos! Fellow traveller and KZbinr myself

[@RhettandClaire]

Desi Vagabond Hey Desi, we can only advise you based on what we’ve heard and apparently it is a lot harder for non-native speakers to find jobs as English teachers. The Asian governments are becoming a lot more strict, but with that being said, we know of a few non-native English speakers teaching in Vietnam. We cannot advise you on salary and expected time to land a job, we’d have to guess! But it’s worth a shot! Thanks for the kind words, and good luck with everything🙏🏻

Córdova ,S William. Amazing!😱. Thank you so much for watching!🙏🏻

[@DevonnaMcCarthy]

Thank you for this! The slate is an amazing tip! Information I didn’t even think I needed. You’ve got a new follower in me. I’m curious, do you teach for any other companies or just SAY ABC?

[@RhettandClaire]

You’re so welcome! Thank you for subbing. We only work for SayABC as we’ve got full schedules with them, but we do suggest having a backup company especially during this time😊

[@aaronsoken2796]

[@dillonogara9605]

Thank you guys for the video, that was actually study helpful for me, and I was able to get a better idea of how teaching English online would really look like and function. PS... You may be in Bali with that awesome Magically Slate... but it is snowing here so haha. I definitely win, yup totally just won that none-existant competition. Thank you thank you very much, I will be here all night... morning .... afternoon??? What time did I wake up? IT is ok, I am VICTORIOUS :P PPS You are welcome for me being crazy

[@RhettandClaire]

Dillon O'Gara lol, glad you found the video useful Dillon! Crazy cat 😂🙏🏻

[@charonesmith5634]

I'm not very techy but I do think that the hard wire connection was awesome. I will be traveling to my sister house and to a hotel and will teach 2 classes. Can you send me the block you use with your ethernet cord and instructions on how to connect to your phone?

[@reginahutchinson4057]

This was so good

[@deborahgolden9612]

How do u pack your eaching items while traveling?

[@stargamerp.k.5165]

[@RhettandClaire]

PK GROUP thank you friend!☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@JohnDoeTube]

Do you guys recommend purchasing a macbook laptop for teaching online?

[@RhettandClaire]

It depends. Do you have a job lined up already? If not, it’s not worth spending that amount of money🙏🏻

[@dianneroy3208]

Hi, I left a message on another video that you posted. The video was a while ago, so not sure if you check comments. Wondering if you knew if you needed a degree to teach English on line. I noticed on the ABC website it does state you need a degree to teach in China. I a retired Canadian and would love to do this to generate a bit of income. I just noticed that you put that you do need a degree. I really enjoy your videos

[@RhettandClaire]

Dianne roy hi Dianne, we replied to your previous comment on our video

[@clairenieuwoudt4297]

Hi guys. love this video! I am also an online English teacher, but I have not been able to do much traveling since changing into this career ... would love to change that in the future. I have a rather important question. What do you guys do about backup power supply for your laptops (in case of power outages)? At home here in SA we have load shedding all the time and use an inverter. Not sure if you are familiar with it. But it's huge and weighs like 50kgs. I have a mini UPS for my internet. But when traveling I'm not sure what id do when the power goes out. Please... any suggestions would be super appreciated! Thanks so much :)!

[@RhettandClaire]

Hey Claire! Unfortunately a UPS is the only thing we can suggest to use in South Africa but odds are, it won’t charge your laptop battery for long enough. Luckily load shedding is not too often lately so maybe just take a chance? Don’t let online teaching get too much in the way of traveling and seeing new places😊. Sorry we couldn’t help more, it’s easier to travel abroad with teaching online than to travel in SA🙈

[@clairenieuwoudt4297]

@@RhettandClaire That has given me even more inspiration to travel abroad. Hope things will get better with travel regulations and covid so that it will be more possible. Thank you for your reply :D!

[@RhettandClaire]

@@clairenieuwoudt4297 no problem! Glad we could help☺️🙏🏻

[@jakedivljak]

Hey guys ! Great video. I'm wanting to start living the digital nomad lifestyle, teaching english online and traveling the world. Could you recommend a good company you don't require a degree to teach online? And also with working 4 - 4 hours a day what's the rough expected monthly income.? Thanks again.

[@RhettandClaire]

Jake Divljak Hi Jake, we unfortunately can’t help you as it’s recently been made law in China that all English teachers must have a degree. You can get away with working in schools without a degree, but not online. Perhaps try and look up Korean or Japanese companies? Sorry we couldn’t help more!

[@jakedivljak]

@@RhettandClaire all good! Thanks for your help :)

[@awherbst1]

What do you call that device that makes the wifi stronger?

[@RhettandClaire]

Hey Andy, search for "slate gl-ar750s-ext" on amazon, that should bring it up 😀

[@stephaniebarker4214]

Hi Rhett and Claire! I've just applied for say ABC using your referral :) let me know if you have any tips or resources for getting hired! Thanks! Steph

[@RhettandClaire]

Hey Steph! We’re so sorry but SayABC are no longer hiring teachers. The company seems to be going under but they’re not communicating anything with their teachers. Try PalFish instead. Here’s a link: ipalfish.i2mi.com/klian/web/dist/m/teacher/invite.html?uid=22913393&channel=30002&teacherregion=0
