Thank you so much for the videos you created and will be creating, Teacher Karen! You're a blessing to thousands of ESL teachers out there. You're going to have a million views later on. But why didn't you make a channel earlier? haha. I hope I have discovered you earlier, too. You're amazing, anyway!

[@TeachaKaren]

Thank you for appreciating what I do! It was the pandemic and the job loss (due to the pandemic) that motivated me to make this channel. Despite the loss, I was able to grow and help other teachers through this platform.

[@MG-bq1uk]

Thank you! I applied after watching one of your videos that discussed which ESL companies you highly recommend. To my surprise, Native Camp sent me an e-mail (after my video conference) stating that I am allowed to skip the demo and quiz! They encouraged me to register and now I am waiting for my profile approval before teaching. I am looking forward to continuing my journey in teaching ESL students since I can no longer be a Vipkid teacher with China's new rules and regulations. Thank you for your tips and for inspiring me!

[@TeachaKaren]

Wow! I am happy to be an inspiration. You must be really good for skipping the demo! Amazing!!!

Tremendous ,love your energy, enthusiasm and the verve. I am awestruck by your captivating videos so much so that i have started falling in love with them. There is a kind of similarity here as i am a qualified Dental surgeon,and have practiced in my own clinical set up for many years before taking s break to teach English and Biology to my son.I too was smitten by this language and thought to switch to the teaching career. I recently acquired TESOL certification. NOW the big question is where to start with my online teaching venture? Please guide

[@TeachaKaren]

Thank you so much for appreciating what I do. May I ask, are you a native speaker? or is English your second language. The reason why I'm asking is that if you're a native speaker, teaching experience is not required and you'll earn 5 times higher than us (none-natives)
