Why I Got Rejected On iTalki/ Other Online Teaching Companies To Try/South African Youtuber

I remember being bummed by my rejection with iTalki as well because I was so excited I was like I've got this in the bag - yhoo the disappointment. Like you just said I checked my application and re-watched my introduction video all to hear flushing of the toilet in the background noise. I don't know how I could not pick that up.

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Yes sometimes it’s small mistakes that make your application to be rejected. Try out other platforms also whilst waiting to retry on iTalki

[@kyokugo6460]

You are very kind in sharing with us this platforms, Thank you and wishing you the best 😊

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏽

[@abderrahimmand4011]

It's Amazing how you made it appear so clear to that moment if discontent and pain you we're walking through. Bravo for standing your ground. You are such an Amazing tutor and person. You're that red Sherry on the cup Cake, 🍰

I love your honesty, quote "And then! I realised that I didn't fill in all of the required information"

[@zaimeybeauty7524]

This was so clear and so informative❤️

[@virtualsubstitute]

Congratulations on starting your KZbin channel. That's a lot of comments for your first video. I look forward to getting more useful information from your videos

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the love, and I will try to film more videos 🙏🏽✨

[@adelefarmer629]

Italki is really easy to get accepted. I was accepted in days. All the information on how to get accepted is out there, italki provide a lot of information themselves, it's not difficult as long as you follow what they ask. Cambly won't look at applications unless they have openings. They do not overhire. With the closing of Chinese platforms, cambly are bombarded with applications. I doubt they have time to give everyone feedback, it's not realistic. Again, cambly make it very clear what they are looking for. Its not difficult to be accepted. The fact they dont over hire is amazing, as once you're accepted you are guaranteed bookings as soon as you open your schedule. They're awesome! And they pay weekly!!

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Thank you for this, I will give it another go✨

[@daezysinspirationtv]

Hi Adele, thanks for this information . I just want to know like how much do you charge per hour ? Just please give me an idea so I don't over charge or under charge. I will appreciate this information. Thank you

[@monicamutuma1120]

Thanks for this. Any links or sites to go for info on how to get hired on italki. Thank you for your help.

[@tarma102]

Don't bother with Preply, they blocked me because I changed my video which they didn't like. With italki they won't accept me because South Africa doesn't know how to print Driver's Licences, mine is unreadable and I still have an old ID book...such a mess. Thanks for you vid hun!

[@TM-kh7el]

Lol girl no. Go back to home affairs and sort yourself out ❤️

[@nontobekomazibuko]

[@nontobekomazibuko]

I didn’t know Preply could do that! I also gave up on iTalki, don’t think they are accepting anymore applications. All the best with your journey✨

[@lwandilentaphane5719]

Hi Nontobeko, thank you for making this great informative video. I would like to know if the profile you created to apply is also visible to your students or students scrolling to find their best suitable tutor?

[@judahnmatsaba7126]

Thanks for the upload Nonto.. I'm curious to know how many of the companies mentioned accepted you, also did you make it through your second application?

[@KingChameleonsEye]

lol this was a good summary. love the drama 🤣 im with cambly now but i want another platform also.

[@aqeelahadams5836]

Hey thank you this information,I wanted to know once you were rejected the first time how long exactly before you submitted your second application,also did Cambly get back to you and on which platform are you currently teaching.

[@naty1012]

I think these companies need to give feedback even if you were not selected.

[@naty1012]

Thant you for the info about Preply I had no idea. I will try at italki, do they pay via Paypal? I already signed up to Cambly using 2 different emails

[@edwardmudau]

Thank you 😊

[@myrhh1]

Hi. Great video. I would like to know the channel you said in the first 2 minutes -- Learn with me? I looked for it but it wasn't about teaching English. Could yu please let me know the name?

[@markkoalawebseo]

There are too many teachers and few students on italki... even experienced teachers complain about the drop! I'm on italki and I can tell you it's a struggle for getting serious students, even with 5/5 stars+great reviews+ low prices

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Yes the market is oversaturated now, I think that’s why they are rejecting applications

[@tl11316]

Preply is quite a opposite. There are lot of students.

[@YOURTVSTATION1]

Perfect 🙏

[@aya3769]

In Preply the student pays the trial lesson but the teacher gets nothing

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Yes! That’s why I’m so reluctant about working on Preply

[@vernellebuys3409]

Hey, I have a TEFL certificate and applied to italki I got rejected and I don't really know why so it completely turned me off from applying to other companies I eventually ended up applying with native camp and I passed the test and system check and was scheduled for an interview my interview was set for around 2am and I think about 20 mins before my interview once I was given access to communicate with one of the employees on Skype and where I was completely declined from even having my interview because they are now only hiring Philippines and sent me a link to another website to restart the entire application process but in that one you can only apply if you American or Canadian 🙄

[@nontobekomazibuko]

That's so sad to hear! I hope you managed to find another company

[@beautyshonhiwa2408]

It sucks

[@xdxmaroc5953]

Is it true that in this site one gets paid from 3$ up to 20$ for each student per hour?

[@virtualsubstitute]

Just subscribed. I have not applied anywhere yet..

[@Dannaroshe]

GREAT information. You should try your hand at private clients too.

[@her563]

How do you go about getting private clients

[@shingaishiripinda7970]

Hey, did you have to send in an application video for Tutor ABC

[@nontobekomazibuko]

Hi Singai, Tutor ABC doesn’t require an introduction video. There’s an automated interview or live interview

I literally just got rejected on italki right now. Now I'm here to see what's up 😭waiting on preply but I'm bummed already but I'll try new platforms as well. Apparently there's too many community tutors. I don't know why they even ione applications if it's not allowed

[@iambloopy]

Preply... You'll only get students if you charge $2 per hour and that's less than R40 + their commission. First lessons you don't get any money. Slavery. I deleted my account today.

You need to make a super video intro+ great description But anyway there are too many teachers and not enough PAYING students on the platform

Stop being scared. Just apply and if you get rejected apply elsewhere or try again. Never give up ever
