Hi Katie. This was super helpful (clear and with a friendly, encouraging slant). Thank you! I'm an American teacher in England and had to get myself out of the secondary school environment. Taught geography for 6 years. I'm excited to create an online business while I do substitute teaching. This was a sobering watch and I will look at some of your other offerings.
The problem as I see it as far as posting lots of class ideas and seeing what sticks is that you need to be ready to actually teach the class if someone signs up. It's a lot of work to prepare to teach one class. Even if they are all related, it's too much to be experimenting on the platform with several classes at one time. That is if that is what you are saying.
Does OutSchool offer a way for teachers to create a setup that is similar to YT Playlists? (Only example I can think of lol). Just thought it’d be a great way to provide a convenient way for those searching but also marketing. Example: If making a marketing piece for SM about a new reading course, it’d be wonderful to be able to say, “Maybe this course is too (I.E.) advanced for your child…. Be sure to go check out my other reading courses to find the best for them”
You have to live in one of those 6 countries for 6 months out of the year. I've heard of some people who've gotten away with it by having a permanent address in one instead, but it's risky 🤷🏻♀

So even if you are a US citizen living abroad you cant teach on Outschool? ...

It seems like younger people are the ones they want the most, I am old lol.
What are teachers using to make their lessons online friendly? I applied years ago & got in but never started. 😣
What if you’re an American citizen but living in another country for a month or two?
I believe you just have to be in your country 6 months out of the year!
So what other platforms would you recommend esp for non citizens
I say go independent! Check out this video for how: th-cam.com/video/UTq5xhwxEbs/w-d-xo.html
Or what if you start before moving overseas?
You're supposed to be in one of their countries for at least 6 months out of the year to pass a background check
What if you are American born and raised but now living overseas?
That’s unethical. Find a job in the country to which you moved. I’m assuming you wouldn’t be teaching philosophy.
