Thank you so much Mme for this detailed explanation I'm in the process of registration and hope i get approved This content is very helpful and an eye opener on what to look out for. Thank you again!🎉
I said you were a star in the previous video that I watched, I wish to retract that statement and confirm that you are a Superstar🤗 Best video I have watched regarding teaching online, clear and precise, thank you♥🌷
Waow! I enjoyed this video. I stopped teaching many years but this video has rekindled my passion for teaching once again. I am 54 and still love to teach. Can i?
Hi Zenande 😃 I’m so glad you find it helpful. Oh that’s great, you don’t really need a certificate to teach on preply or italki but it surely is helpful though. All the best with it and your lessons on whichever platform you choose 😉😁
You are welcome :) I started @ $2, I would recomend you start @ $5( taking commission into consideration) I\ve been gradually increasing my prices, and the teaching experiences has been GREAT honestly.
Thanks for your effort for this informative video. You are such a joy to listen to. Been considering this method of earning. But the elephant in the room for me has been loadshedding, nagana, during a lesson and the impact on your ratings. What has been your general work around loadshedding, during your lessons?
Great video! Thank you. I have just submitted an application. If it is unsuccessful, can I apply again? What time zone did you use for South Africa? I used a European one, GMT +2 because I couldn't find South Africa.
Just to let you know... I WAS acceoted! Woo Hoo! and have just watched the Trials and Bookings section of this video as I prepare to start teaching. Thank you SO much for all your help... Truly appreciated 🙏
Hey Nelly, congratulations on being approved 🎉 if you’ve opens your calendar, students will start booking automatically. Check my latest video , I’ve been explained in depth about trial lessons
@@keralethiba Awesome Thank You... Just finished my TEFL certificate so I am ready to start, but not sure about my Laptop's specifications if they will meet streaming requirements but I am good to go
I am TEFL certified and am at Preply for about three months now. I haven't had a lesson yet and it's stressing me. I had my first student who wanted to book lessons with me, but it turned out he was a scammer. I also had s second student who messaged me and when I replied he didn't reply back. 😢😢 Can you help me please?
Hey Princess , hope you’re well😊…I’m not really sure about Nedbank, I’ve linked a video I watched a while back regarding linking PayPal with our banks please watch that🤗
I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. Now I am going to change my video all thanks to this super informative vid. Thank you so much! You are doing the Lord's work!
Hi KERA, I'm still a newbie tutor on Preply and i had only 1 trial lesson. My profile score has reached 100% and I reduced my rate to $3 , but my profile position is still in the thousands. Any advises on what to do or what to improve please
Are you still working there? How has it been going for you? I've been working online for another company for over 7 years but the scheduling is getting VERY unreliable. I'm looking into applying for other jobs and this one sounds interesting🤔. Do you teach people from all over the world or mainly certain countries/regions?
Hi Matt, yes I am. I’d say try out and see if it works for you. It can get a little tricky when it comes to bookings and having to change prices for certain students ( sometimes) I assume by 7 years you mean teaching online ? If that’s the case , I think you wouldn’t struggle in that case
Hello I’ve just watched your video, and I really appreciate the content. My profile has been accepted on preply, but it’s been three days and no student yet. Can you give me some advice please? I really enjoy teaching and I think I’m qualified. But perhaps I don’t convey motivation on my profile. 😢
Hey there, no I mean if you're accepted that means your profile is good for Preply, it does take time at times to get students, maybe try decrease your price for a month then increase gradually :)
I got approved on Preply past month ,,I haven't got any trial booked though I had one but the student cancelled because he failed to join the classroom.😭😭. I get messages and the students never get back to me nor book a trial lesson . I've realized that I delay to respond to messages. Any advices?? What's the best time to get students on Preply or reply faster to their messages?
Hi Kabi . Aah man, I know how that feels. Don’t stress about it , maybe try setting Preply notifications on your laptop or check for any messages every 30 minutes to an 1hr, I did this in the beginning. But, truth is at times , you could be busy and missing messages does happen 😉
So , if you get into your calendar , and press the availability settings , you’ll see like colour demarcations that indicate the best time for our times zones
Hey Sis, I’m not really familiar with that certification, I’d suggest you maybe try find out from their website ( should they have one )if they are an accredited certificate. However, on these platforms , like preply as far I know , you don’t necessarily need a certificate
@@keralethiba Thank you so much Sisi for your response I really appreciate you taking your precious time for all of us who have got questions. I'm almost done with my TEFL now I just want to know if the Asus or Laptop or HP @Game for R6000 are the right laptops for this job or there's a specific one I should buy . I should buy a laptop with how many Ram,GB and Windows? Kindly assist.
@@keralethiba Thank you so much Sisi Kera. For me to be able to teach during loadshedding what should I buy n where? Won't my network be interupted during loadshedding while teaching?
Hi Kera , thank you for your video, i just got my first student on Preply and they want to learn Business English, can you please give me some advice on how to plan the lessons, thank you
Hi Precious, congratulations on your first student 🎉🎉🎉 preply has Sesi me activities under their business english session. You can also ask the student what they want to focus on more for instance with me , if they want to focus on conversation more , I use I site called Engoo which has articles that we use in class for discussion purposes.
Lets be really real , im a preply tutor. Has any tutor experienced a student who booked you for a trial and played with themselves secretly and tried to request doing calls just for that ???? 🤮. The trauma i have

@@keralethiba hi, I just got my tefl certificate, I wanted to check how much did you make your first month?
@@nhlanhlamabaso258 Hey there,I made a decent amount hey it was not that high for the first month due to the amount of trial lessons
Thanks for your effort for this informative video. You are such a joy to listen to. Been considering this method of earning. But the elephant in the room for me has been loadshedding, nagana, during a lesson and the impact on your ratings. What has been your general work around loadshedding, during your lessons?
Hey there Lehlohonolo, thanks so much. Yeah, it’s been such a stress & a bore actually Mara I’ve actually bought a UPS which has been a life saver
Great video! Thank you. I have just submitted an application. If it is unsuccessful, can I apply again? What time zone did you use for South Africa? I used a European one, GMT +2 because I couldn't find South Africa.
Thank you so much, yes I used Pretoria I think
I could register with GMT+2
Just to let you know... I WAS acceoted! Woo Hoo! and have just watched the Trials and Bookings section of this video as I prepare to start teaching. Thank you SO much for all your help... Truly appreciated 🙏

Hi there , yes it was through TH-cam 😊 don’t worry , ask anything
I am failing the connection test with Telkom network what can I do please
Hey Happy,

You’d have to change your network, is it possible for you to try with a different network?
Hey great video, What is it that i would need to buy from canva
Hey Nomfundo, thank you so much. I’m not sure I understand your question
I have just been approved. I don’t know where to begin. How do you get a trial?

Hi there, I think you’re profile will raise as you get students. That happens to me as well.
Alright I will see as time goes coz when I had my first trial, it was 306 then it suddenly moved to thousands
