Hi great video in laymans terms. Ive followed your guide and will see how it goes. Just one question though. As im in lockdown in Malaysia, even though i put Beijing in as instructed , its still people up people nearby in Penang. Anyway of getting around that and for Wechat to think I'm in China?
Hi, great video. Just one question: if there is no Twitter, why putting the contact info @teamteacher? Should the wechat ID be a better option? Just asking thanks
Thanks great informative video I’m based in Colombia but want to continue teaching Chinese people I followed your suggestions but as I’m not in China I can’t access people there any suggestions or groups to latch onto much appreciated is it possible with a vpn?
I go to Moments and nothing is the same after that. I do not see what you are clicking to open my area. I open Moments and that's the ends of the road. What am I missing?
Great ideas...are there any people that can help Americans/Brits/Aussies etc set this up on the platform for a fee? A lot of ESL teachers might not even use Wechat - or know it. How do you tell WeChat you're in China to look for students if you're in America?
Hello Neil! How are you doing? Thanks for your video! I am an English teacher from Brazil, and this is a passion for me. I have been teaching for a couple of years now. I found it interesting to offer my online services in China. One question: can you tell me about an average ($) cost per hour ? Do 60-minute classes work well with Chinese students?
Nice to meet you! i'm not sure of the price nowadays but you can compare to other chinese teaching platforms like vipkids. depends on the age but normally 30-45 minutes is better.
Thanks for this video. If a teacher from the States wants to teach students on WeChat. How does the payment work? I've heard that PayPal doesn't work for parents.
@@TeamTeacherChina I'm in the US. How can I advertise private online classes from here? I was told Craigslist but that's not working. Any other websites? Someone told me Xianyu and baidu. Would that work? Do you know of other websites?
With great difficulty. Graigslist isn't used in China. 58.com is the equivalent of it. You could try that. However, we imagine you'll be advertising in English which brings its own problem. Most Chinese don't speak English so even if you get inquires they'll most likely be in Chinese. You're best finding a Chinese agent to find students and help you communicate for you but we don't know any, sorry.
Hi There. I am in South Africa and have wechat and teach English in China, but can I do this from my country with a SA Cell number or must I be in China to do this. I am stuck due to travel restrictions and need to make money from here using my experience in teaching, etc. Thanks
Hey i’m in China and have Wechat but don’t see any of these options...has Wechat been updated? I’m scared to delete and reupload in case i lose everything...
@@TeamTeacherChina I was under the impression that a working visa only allows you to work at that address. Even they cannot send you out to work at other places such as kindergartens.
@@rootsenglish4287 The law is a tricky thing in China. As long as you stay out of trouble you can tutor a few extra students and nobody's gonna do anything, unless somebody has it out for you.
Yes, it is. That's the short and quick answer. I personally had a man go crazy because I refused to teach his son. He turned me in to every government department he could think of. I sat in their office three days in a row while they deliberated on what to do with me. They had the proof from my WeChat conversation. They were about to imprison, deport and ban me as an example to other teachers. However, my boss was a well respected businesswoman in the city. They ended up fining me 7000 RMB (it could have been 20,000). The police and several people kept coming around to my apartment afterwords and they followed and tape me whilst I was having lunches and coffees with Chinese people. It very much is about whether someone gets offended and turns you in.

Location is based on your phone's GPS not your bio location.
You'll need to change your location via a VPN.
Great video, thank you. How do I search within China if I live in Europe, please?
you need a proxy

Yes, you can use a VPN. Check out our wechat group video for suggestions.
what teaching platform do you use? I am in the states and understand the usage of a VPN.
WeChat video

are you in china?
Is this strategy possible for a teacher living in the U.S.?
Yes. with a VPN.

Nope. You'll need a VPN to put your location in China.

In my experience Paypal works fine
it depends what the parents have access to
Hey there! How to get students if i am outside of China ?
You can use a VPN to make your phone believe you're in China.
@@TeamTeacherChina What vpn has China Mainland server?
It wanted me to choose an area of Beijing. What's a good area to choose? Should I change it once in a while to reach different areas and cities?
Wechat chooses the area based on your phone's GPS
@@TeamTeacherChina I'm in the US and chose Beijing, but it gave a choice of about 20 areas. Are there better, richer areas to choose?
It doesn't matter. The people nearby feature works by GPS, so you won't appear in Beijing unless you are in Beijing.

It really depends on your area. Ask local teachers what they charge to get a better idea.
