@@tshepilesambo4308 okay thanks... Congratulations hun. Was stressing cause I applied in March and it still says "we will get back to after 5 working day" I thought my application was unsuccessful
Thank you SO much for your generosity in sharing so much valuable info. with us. I have strated with Preply and after one week I HID my profile... I think my price was too low... I took the week to meet 5 students and get used to uding this platform and now have 1,000s of questions! You are an angel and a saviour! I am now going to check out 2 of the links that you provided 1) on chaning one's price 2) PayPal payments... I'm wondering if PayPal is best for SAfrican payments... Off to find out! AND MEGA thanks! 🙏
I’m so so glad you’re finding my videos informative Lydia, that’s always my aim to share as much as I can. Navigating platforms such as preply can be so daunting at times . I hope you have an amazing time with your students
Hi there! Can you please let me know if you found that PayPal is better for South Africans? I’m currently weighing my options between PayPal and Payoneer
@@Learh I went with Payoneer... waaay simpler... no problems whatsoever. I was pulling my hair out with PayPal and found FNB 'support' to be totally non-existent.
Hello Keira. Thank you for a great content. I’m teaching on Preply. I have been receiving a lot of bookings but I’m experiencing network problems at particular times so I keep rescheduling and it’s frustrating some of my students. I’m using a desktop, so the only option I have it is to use my phone on other platforms. Would you advise me to do that.
Hi Prudence🤗 You’re welcome Yes, I’ve used my phone a few times when I had technical difficulties. It’s okay . This is just another plan in place to avoid rescheduling
You are super informative, thanks so much! I'll be watching all of your videos. I'll defs sign up through your link. Please keep updating us. I'd also like to know which certificate would be best to obtain as far as benefits and preferences go between ESL, TFL and Tesol. Not sure if you've covered that yet.
Hi Kera! Absolutely love your videos. Can I ask when did you first increase your price? I’ve been teaching for a month now and I started with $5 and would like to increase to $9 by June. Would you advice that? And the video link for withdrawal with PayPal seems to be unavailable 😢 Your videos are so informative! ❤🎉
Thank you so much Lea❤️🔥❤️🔥, you know, it took me over 8 months to increase to $9 🙈 but I think I was a bit scared to increase LOL , the think by june /august it’s okay to increase to increase . So I increased after 3 months or so because I had like a financial goal , I hope this helps . Okay, I’ll try find it again and send it to you
I would say set your prices to 9 dollars by June or August and then I See if you getting students at that price if not drop it down to 7 see if you getting students at that price right and then from that point as you increase your price gradually you can also increase your students price so for instance let’s say you’ve taught students for over six months and because you want to reach your own financial goals as well you then tell them , the aim is to also make space for the students that are also going to be paying $9 you know what I mean so it’s a tricky one.
@@keralethiba Yes definitely true. So far I have 8 active students and from the 8 I know 3 are going to stick beside me so I am hoping this price change will not scare away prospective students as well. Nonetheless, I cannot thank you enough!
@@Learh not at all, at first I thought it would but to my surprise I got even more students at that price however they did not book due to limited time slots 😊🙃🙈 that’s why as we gradually change , we need not have space for our desired students you know what I mean
Hi Thandolwethu, I was not aware of that, I think if you’ve followed the guidelines thoroughly that shouldn’t be an problems. I’d say give it a week or so and see if they respond
Hello Kera. I hope you're well. I'm in desperate need of your help. I applied for preply and I keep getting stuck in the description process and I don't know what to say anymore. I've changed it multiple times but I'm not succeeding. Can you please assist me with my description and your help will be greatly appreciated.
Hey there , Yes sure! Your description according to what I've heard , shouldn't indluce personal information such as your age or exact location yoi stay in. We should avoid mentioning such details however, you should talk about your class structure, your type of teaching style & lesson environment . What specific pillars in neglish will you be concerntarting on, will it be Conversnational English, Business English , Grammar or all of these. You know what i mean. Mention things such as your work experience preferably teaching experience if you have any and stuff like hobbies but mention these briefly . I hope this helps you :)
Hey Sis:) at times it does take a bit longer maybe wait till this week however should you not get any response from them contact their information desk.
Hello Keira , I once waited for a student for like 15min so he decided to message me if I'm still on and replied asking if there are any challenges joining classroom . I explained I've been waiting for 15min Unfortunately he cancelled😢😢 Any advices or anything that am not aware of or that I failed to do?
Should this happen again, try contact the students maybe 5 minutes into the class . Sometimes due to their reasons they login in later maybe 15 minutes later or if they’re also struggling with connection but try reaching out 5/10 minutes into the lesson should they be late
Hiii, I just got accepted today and I don't know whete to start or anything. Where do I do? And does it show as me being available as soon as I sign in? And also how do you teach with load shedding? My signal goes when the electricity goes since I hot-spot through my phone
Congratulations Ladifa!!! :) So, You have to set availability on your calender, and then once you've updated your availability, on your calnder page by the gray bar, on the right hand side you'll see an option for you to open your availabity status. Once this is done, your profile will be open for students to find you. I hope this helps, should you have anymore quizzes, let me know :)
With loadshdding, I'm honestly still finding a way to thrive through this LOL but for now I unfortunately have to reschedule the lessons with my students. Hot spotting through your phone is the best option for now.
Thank you so much for the replies!! I definitely can only hot-spot right now now so I'm glad it's working for you. I will update my schedule tomorrow and lower my price because it's 9$ for now 😅 Do the students have a problem if you reschedule?
@@latifamthembu4372 Uhm it depends, in this case its really out of our hands , however according to preply rules try reschedule atleas 4hrs before mara with loading you never really know, so just send them a message as soon as possible & also reschedule only if neccessary wabo. Rescheduling way too many times can chase students away.
@@keralethiba Thank you. I'm so sorry for so many questions. But it's not coming right on my side. When would you say it the best time to be available? The best time to most likely find students?
@@sindid6928 It's okay don't worry haha, Okay, maybe change your price to $3 dollars & make sure your available it open. Be online all the time (if you can ) for the first few days, then once you've secured a few students , you can increase your price. Don't worry students will come through. AVAILABLITY is KEY

Hi Nicole, it varies from person to person. I’d suggest you give it a week or so 😇🙏
Hey love just a quick question its week two.. Preply has not approved of my application. How can I contact them?
Hey Sis:) at times it does take a bit longer maybe wait till this week however should you not get any response from them contact their information desk.

One thing you want to do is to a paid reporting them if they’re late for the first time just to maintain a good rest with them you know what I mean
