Don't forget that a lot of people pretend to be me on social media! I would never message you and boast about investment returns or ask you to invest with me!

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 ?

[@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.

[@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]

Ahh glad to hear it :) and thank you 😊

[@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!

[@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.

[@julyanaxel201]

I'm willing to do a Celta course next year. I can't wait to have that type of experience (teaching people from other countries). I'm already an English teacher in my city but I want to become so good as I could teach in the UK (this is my dream) 😅

[@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 :)

[@AshWolfPath]

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!

Hi Anna, thanks for this video. Very helpful. Curious if you did a course like tefl? if so which one 🌻 thxx

[@pandabossanna]

I have a video about that too :) I did tefl

[@FAROUKB.I]

This is so educative 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you

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.

Good info!

[@stefanvanvliet719]

Nice video!

[@pandabossanna]

Thank you :)

[@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 :)

[@amansingh-qy2sg]

Love you anna

[@ajulydreamer]

Great video Anna

[@pandabossanna]

Thanks lovely! X

[@lorenanovoainspires]

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!

[@lorenanovoainspires]

@@pandabossanna Thank you for replying! Continued success.

[@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!

[@SeeDoTravel]

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

[@moneytalkwithj3324]

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

[@pandabossanna]

Thank you :)

[@sophiachiovitti8621]

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

[@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!

[@baipallijagdeeshwarrao9207]

I am not able to understand their language, if by mistake they ask me any question, I will ask my neighbour, friend what is she saying, please translate it and tell me

[@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

Hey. ❤How was your weekend ?

[@pandabossanna]

Great thanks! How was yours?

[@lenks1018]

@@pandabossanna It was good thanks

[@sarahberry792]

$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

[@Xyxyxhsjsh]

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

[@Xyxyxhsjsh]

Anyone?

[@pandabossanna]

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

[@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.

[@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

I’m not accepting new students

[@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.

[@lenks1018]

Were you born in Poland ?

[@pandabossanna]

Yep I was :)

[@surface0559]

Not sure if your are Polish, and if you were to ask me I wud straight away say that English is your native language😊.

i come here for trading . your portfolio trading.

[@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]

How much is the hourly rate?

[@pandabossanna]

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