[@nickandraychel]

Thanks for watching this video! I've had so much fun jumping into this platform and teaching English online again. If you're looking to sign up with Twenix, use this link here to start earning $$ online: twenix.com/tweachers/?NRYT

“Hey! Hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to ask, how long did you have to wait after submitting your video tasks?” I’ve also submitted my video and it’s been just over a week

[@MyLifeThai371]

That's awesome that they supply the lesson materials! That was the biggest challenge for me when I was an English teacher in Cambodia. The classes that had text books and work books were fun to teach, but then my other classes I had to do the lesson planning from scratch with no materials provided to me and it was so stressful.

[@nickandraychel]

Yes setting up lessons is a whole other ballgame!

[@ashleeugle2767]

Such a helpful video guys, thank you! I did have a few more specific questions so have reached out on another platform. Hope I might hear from you guys 🤗

[@camelia5943]

I didn't get the video tasks,what was about ,introduction about your background or it was demo?

[@katastrophe-25]

Could you share more about the pay rate for you when you first started? $10/hr CAD? More, less? Would be great to have a general idea! Thanks for the in-depth review

[@SeanReynolds1962]

Whiel my application is (still!!) pending, Twenix had mentioned US$12 per hour.

How long did it take for you to do the onboarding. It is taking me a little while to get through. Is there a time limit on it. I seem to be doing all the microcourses too etc is that correct should do that before you finish the onboarding.

[@Michael-kz1wh]

Can a teacher possibly have 6 to 8 classes in a day if they wish? I mean except in January and August. I'm a bit worried about the number of classes being too low. Is having 6 to 8 classes/day realistic? (3-4 hrs a day)

[@snowymuffin]

same question

[@tereraichipamuriwo8688]

I have 2 classes a day,i would like at least 8 classes but I don't know if they actually have classes

[@snowymuffin]

​@@tereraichipamuriwo8688​ what time do you open?

[@chasingtheAmericanDream]

What are the peak hours?

[@stevenriddle9119]

Can you teach on this platform traveling as a digital nomad?

[@riptart9121]

Yes this is the best way IMO since you can live in places where the conversation rate is better. For ex The average worker in Philippines make 15 usd a day where we would be making this in one hour

[@OnlineTeachersClub]

This video was very clear and well presented, could we share it on our blog?

[@jamiellamoses8253]

I applied in October last year but have not received any response yet.

[@melaniediasdc]

Hi Raychel, do you have any recommendations on the best way to get a TOEFL certificate? Great video by the way!

[@TutenArellano]

very good i think, i am currently doing the TEFL so i thought naturally will be great, but i got stuck in the application form where you have to add a bill or something that has your name link to the address, I am currently living at my grandmother's home so i am not involved in any payment, although i help with the bills there are not in my name. what is the next step? seams very tricky to contact them to check what can be done about it or anything really, the IA chat is very limited, you ask a question and tells you what to do and the chat gets close right away as a resolve issue. thanks!

[@jennifermasters4166]

Curious when you open up your slots did they get filled super fast? On avrtage how many classes were you doing a day?

[@stevestevesteve946]

Interesting that although you can start immediately, they only pay monthly. So if you need to get paid quickly, then this platform probably isn't for you

[@maccurls]

Do you know if there is a FB group or something for Twenix Teachers to get tips etc?

[@EmpressEmpress-53]

Hi Raychel. Can I use a Chrome book laptop for this job? ❓❓. Thank you

[@nickandraychel]

I think so!

[@swiftswift7632]

How long did you have to wait after you submitted your video tasks ?

[@riptart9121]

It's a long wait process I waited 2 months

[@cppippop3]

Thanks for this video - I don't understand the chat and corrections aspect of Twenix, do I have to be on a chat while on a video call with a student?!

[@nickandraychel]

Yes it’s similar to Zoom where the chat is on the side of the screen

[@swiftswift7632]

I sent in my application got a price offer then submitted my video task but have not heard anything back yet after the two weeks I tried contacting “support or the Twenix team “ and they told me I will receive an email if I “got it or not.” It’s been about 2 months now and haven’t heard back. Not sure what I should do? I was thinking I resend my application under a new name and also redo the demo lesson but not sure if that’s a good idea? Maybe my they are still considering me and re applying could have a negative effect on my first application. Any tips would be helpful. 🙏🏽😄

[@nickandraychel]

Hmmm that’s odd! Im happy to give you any tips on your demo if you do resend the application. My email is [e-mail]

[@jeirenvinamalawis8827]

You keep saying, you can start using the platform once you get accepted from day 1......but the problem is the process of being accepted, man, you mentioned there are modules to check on to, right? So the process could tough. How do you encourage applicants to persevere in their application? Any tips? Motivate applicants pls. I saw frustrated moments here with Twenix not replying to them even went to 2 months of waiting, what does that mean? They ignored the applicant? Or just lazy to reply to all applicants?

[@maccurls]

Im in the UK and I was wondering can you tell me what time the classes can be in the day for UK. I want to work when my kids are at school so can you get lessons between 9am-3pm UK time do you know.Thanks

[@maccurls]

Also for the demo class what di you say you recorded it with? Also do you need to use headphones with a microphone for classes?

[@nickandraychel]

Hey you don’t need a headset for the classes as long as you have a quiet spot! I just recorded it with Photobooth on my MacBook! I’m sure you could just record it with whatever webcam you have or on your phone and then upload it. The lessons are usually in the mornings and evenings in Spain/Italy - I’m not sure how to calculate the time difference for the UK but people also do take classes mid day since the classes are often covered by their workplace.

[@hyperionsama]

I’m curious what an hour (or two 26 minute classes) pays? I know you said it’s location dependant but is there an estimate? 20$ CAD or 17$ USD maybe?

[@dandiiiful]

I’ve heard an hour only pays 8 euros which is currently less than $9

[@nicolebihag8964]

How many days did it took for them to reach you after sending the demo videos?

[@nickandraychel]

less than a week!

[@sanjab9293]

How long does it take since you send video task until they get back to you?

[@nickandraychel]

About a week for me!

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

Let's be really honest here. The pay is crap. It's less than minimum wage.

[@nickandraychel]

It depends on where you’re from and what your currency is. It’s more than minimum wage for Canadians! Because of the exchange rate it actually pays more than my old job in Canada and I can do it from home.

[@brettH7716]

@@nickandraychel Can you share what you got paid per class in CAD? That would help others assess whether it's a bona fide company. Thanks.

[@MyLifeThai371]

Last time I checked Federal minimum wage was $7.25.

[@brettH7716]

@@MyLifeThai371 That would be Canadian? Still very low. It equates to $8 Australian. Our minimum wage is $24 (or $21.71 Canadian).

[@riptart9121]

Yeah if you live in a ig city like USA NYC where I'm from but the ideal situation is to live somewhere else then the pay is better. I'll live in Philippines so the wage is great

[@rachelb1749]

Hi. Is there a reason why they ask for proof of address?

[@nickandraychel]

I don’t know for sure but I assume it’s because your residency affects your pay.

[@kelsiwilliams8326]

On the application I saw a requirement to be a registered freelancer in your country? Is the something you had to do or have more info about?

[@SeanReynolds1962]

Yes, when I applied, they wanted to ensure that you're self-employed as you're not hired by the company, solely a sub-contractor.

[@nickandraychel]

I file my taxes as a freelancer in general so I didn’t even think twice about this. I’ve been freelancing for 10 years! But as the other commenter mentioned, I believe they’re just ensuring that you understand you have to claim your own taxes and that youre not an employee of Twenix

[@DeKeysertess]

How about tax..
