Love it, Michael! This is great. Thanks so much for this.

It took me until you got to #3 to start Yes, start a list but by the time you signed off I had 11 items on my list. Took a while for my brain to get it together! Thank you so much for doing this.

[@juliescott4390]

Don't forget about the brain benefits of juggling as you promote your class! This was a great topic. I'm intrigued by Outschool, but I'm clueless as to what I'd teach. This gives me some ideas on how to brainstorm myself some viable options. Thank you!

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks! Happy to hear you might have some ideas after listening 🙂

[@Bobaloo92]

Hey Michael! So happy to be your Outschool referral! I’ll e-mail you my thoughts and ideas as a result of this video. Thanks for making quality content!

[@MichaelVenn]

Looking forward to hearing from you Rob!

[@DiamondFlame45]

This is so cool! I am a traditional public HS teacher and this sounds amazing! I would like to try it out.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I immediately thought about a juggling class for you to teach, Michael!

[@ashes528]

This was helpful, Michael! Thanks for sharing. With the pay cuts coming with VIPkid I'm hoping to branch out. I've signed up with Outschool but I'm stuck as to what to teach but these are some great things to think about. I actually had a few ideas while I was listening. Thanks again and all the best!

[@emilygrace1960]

Seems like all the big names from VIP are heading this way. LOL! I do love watching your videos and watching you interact and teach your kiddos. You are an excellent teacher and I am quite sure I would have loved you as a teacher when I was a child. Thank you for doing these videos for us! So helpful!

Great podcast! Good questions to think about. I am nervous about question #3 ... Just got accepted at Outschool today. I was a professional figure skater - so I am thinking classes on ice skating. Obviously I don't plan on teaching them how to skate from their basement - so I am hoping to create fun classes with the history, music and choreography of skating. Anyone out there wanting this? Not sure. For you, I think classes on the History of the Circus, Juggling and/or Puppetry or Making a Puppet would be your jam and unique! We have a great Circus School in my city filled with homeschooled kids and this is the kind supplemental material for them. Anyway, looking forward to hearing how your experience with Outschool goes.

[@MichaelVenn]

Those are some great suggestions! I'm going to give them a think and see what I can come up with!

[@vipkidteacherpeter1738]

Just a heads up that you cannot teach on Outschool from abroad. You must be in one of the approved countries while teaching the class. If your into the VIPKID Digital Nomad life this is not an option. I found out the hard way after working on the application for a week so I just want to make sure no one else finds out that way!

[@MichaelVenn]

Yes, that's true. Thanks for the reminder, I'll try to remember to include that little tidbit in future videos :)

[@waynenorth5322]

Im a UK citizen in Thailand/Vietnam. Does this mean I cannot use Outschool? Do we know the reasons for this and what about if I use a VPN?

[@rainsong23]

Great content. I think I'm going to apply but can't for a few months because I'm not living in Canada at the moment. You mentioned you are on the east coast of Canada. Whereabouts? I'm from PEI, lived five years in Moncton before I went overseas, and travelled around the maritimes busking a bit back in the days before I went overseas.

[@MichaelVenn]

Awesome! I’m in Nova Scotia. Hopefully you’ll be able to apply in a few months when you return to Canada 🙂

[@rainsong23]

@@MichaelVenn that's the plan. Where about in Nova Scotia? My brother lives in Aylesford which is maybe 45 minutes from Halifax.

[@jonathandavid9720]

Great stuff! It seems you are not using Outschool for ESL stuff. If so what would be the reason (e.g., much fewer students from China on Outschool)?

[@MichaelVenn]

Outschool isn’t an ESL platform. You can teach whatever you want so I’m going to focus on things I’m passionate about such as circus, photography, & cooking!

[@Shannon.Hazleton]

Also, how do we find your juggling class? My daughter is interested ☺️

[@shantelaiona]

Have you checked on Outschools website?

[@spanishwithconny7633]

Hello teacher Michael, do You also teach children via Zoom? I would love My son to take ESL clases you.

[@MichaelVenn]

I don’t do ESL classes on Zoom, sorry.

[@spanishwithconny7633]

@@MichaelVenn thank You :)

[@ts4426]

Is there a way to teach ping pong or baseball concepts or demonstrations on Outschool? Thanks!

[@MichaelVenn]

I don’t see why not

[@ts4426]

@@MichaelVenn thank you for the swift response Teacher Michael 😁

[@emilygrace1960]

HAA! I was waiting to see if you were going to jump on that band wagon...

[@MichaelVenn]

haha why not? Are you going to as well?
