I'm currently doing my tefl and am considering both teaching abroad or online. I love your tips, transparency and honesty about the work that goes into teaching online. Especially with trying to wake up early for students in different time zones. Thanks for this, you just gained a new subbie❤
Eyyy price change is very tricky..I increased my prices and lost 4 of my regular students. So sad but I was working long hours getting little money. But now things are picking up. New students are buying my package but it was a bit slow in January... And thank you so much for another informative video and I remember struggling to link my PayPal and FNB account and you were so kind and shared some information and tips with me and finally got it right😜😜🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your helpful and informative videos on Teaching English online. I have been following your channel and researching alot, gathering all the relevant informations and also about the TESL certification. I am from Nigeria and Nigeria is an English speaking country, I just wanted to say this because I just heard you mention Nigeria and you weren't sure what language we speak.
Wow Zuri,am interested in learning more about conducting online classes. Any support is highly welcome. Am a Ugandan qualified teacher based here in Kampala.
Notification gang 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 liked the video even before watching, lol I’m actually only gonna find the time to watch sometime tomorrow but I am grateful and thankful in advance 🥰😘
I left the links in a video I did about teach with me online. It’s in the new created playlist. I have braids in that videos please check under that video
I love your explanation, pls could a person start this being a teacher for almost 15yrs now. Help me parents want me teaching their wards but no time because of full time work in my school. Am from Nigeria
Hey Zuri …. Great video 💚 quick question: in terms of Tax ,how do they deduct it (percentage wise ) and is it after you transferred to your easy account ? Thank you 😊
I registered with SARS the tax for freelance is different from the one of people who earn monthly. If you make 14k a month then you pay around R1300 or so… if you choose to withdraw monthly
Hello hun, Thank you so so much for all this information is really helpful and interesting I'm actually glad I came across your channel. 1 question please, which specs are needed on a Laptop in order for one to be able to Teach Online. I'm asking this question as 1 of the Online Tutor mentioned that there are particular specs that are needed on a Laptop. Plaese kindly assist. Thanking you in advance.
They don’t specify, the only thing that’s super important is the internet speed which they say ok the website. But even your laptops camera is good quality or even okay quality you are good to go.
Excuse my ignorance, but you mentioned that you don't need any qualifications to become a community tutor - does this mean that a TEFL certificate isn't required as well? I've been struggling to save up money to get one and I've heard that you need to have one to become a teacher.
I got accepted to teach English at Classgap. Cambly never replied 😂, Englishninja as well. Verbling is still not accepting tutors. I'm waiting on preply's feedback. I've been lazy to make a Swahili language tutor profile on Italki but you have encouraged me. I'll make an introduction video for the Swahili language. Thanks ❤
Hi there I just came across your video.. I'm a tracher in Namibia and really want a part time job. Finding this I think this is what I need right now... Do you think Namibian are allowed to apply???
I am trying to plan my hours with family life kids at school cooking tidying up and when they asleep i can teach and yet still have a bit of rest before the start of the next day as well as do I make much more over the weekend than weekdays?
I don’t edit with my HP laptop. I edit with a computer. I move my videos to google photos and download them from my computer and edit them with WonderShare Filmora🌸
Hello, you said it on minute 7 and 47 seconds. "In order to get 3500 $ per week you touched 7 to 8 hours a day" Dont get me wrong, I am trying to understand.
I think maybe you might need to work on your listening skills a little bit. There is a big difference between Rands (ZAR South African Currency) and Dollars (United States of America Currency)
I do not know. I worked for italki not Preply. I hope someone in the comment section can help you, who is currently working for Preply🌸 I opened my schedule from 5am until 9pm if that helps
Which package did you take,if I want to work full time which package must I take so that I don't run out of data. Also...do they need your Matric Certificate when hiring?
Hi Zuri hope you well i have gotten the TEFl certificate but i cant seem to get work Italki is always closed for English please guide me into the right direction
Thanks for the video 😊very informative. I would like to ask which other teaching website can one use that does not require a teaching certificate, only another bachelors degree?
Hello. I'm new here. I just received my TEFL certificate and I'm very excited to start this journey. Thank you for a very informative video. I look forward to see more and learning from you..... ❤🎉
Hi Zuri thank you for all the advises love...I have a very huge problem I have the tefl and have a preply profile but I can't get students at all its been 3 months I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Look at other tutors in Preply to see what their prices are and how their profile is set up… try and do similar things to them and also maybe your name should have the world ENGLISH WITH…. Then your name afterwards. It makes it more searchable
I actually do not know hey 🤔🤔 I’ve never thought about that since our degrees in SA are already in English I just assumed everyone else’s was too maybe. Just try and upload and see what they say
Thanks Zuri for the information. Can anyone help me with answers for the TFL Exam, I have already failed twice, please guys. Only answers for me to get my certificate. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@rachelwatiri2997 Hey Watiri, yes i am from Kenya as well. Alikuwa ananiambia eti nimwonyeshe uchi and vice versa. But i got my first student at preply this morning and he was amazing. Goodluck on your journey
I would choose the one I’m comfortable with. I had Skype on my phone which was inconsistent. So if you know how to use zoom on Your laptop choose that and then you can also use google meet but let the student low in advance
I appreciate how this video doesn’t make seem like a rosey process. Thank you so much for the information. 🥺
Yeah it’s a bit much but once you get everything and do everything then it gets better and you’ll enjoy teaching online🌸

I left the links in a video I did about teach with me online. It’s in the new created playlist. I have braids in that videos please check under that video
@@ZuriAfrica ok! Thanks
Some of the response I get is that my video quality is low .(this may be because I compress my videos)

With my iPhone through safari it allows me apply just that my Languages are closed
Really okay that’s something new I didn’t know that
Zuri, hello! I encountered your channel today and I am loving it so much!
Could you answer if teachers from Russia are allowed to use Preply?
Thank you
I do not know. On their website there is a list of countries they accept please check there 🌸
Maybe it's time you spread your horizon to other countries.
You mean leave the country?

Hi Zuri thank you so much for this, but can we talk about your pampas grass…where did you buy it?
I went to pick it off the side of the road in Kempton park. I got it for free.
Thankyou gurllllll🎉🎉

Hi, please help me with my Preply application I can’t submit my description it says,remove mentions of free offers to submit successfully.
Thanks you so much, I don't have laptop yet, only my phone, can I teach with my smartphone only for a start.
Hey Zuri , I'm in Namibia and I'm really confused 😕 with what is needed

Where are you Zuri. I need a tutor more my grandson in Namibia.
You can find a tutor online. I don’t tutor anymore.
@@ZuriAfrica oh yeah I did find one

Yes
Joh I smaaaak to teach on italkie
@ZuriAfrica Hey Zuri. I heard you talk about resources for learning the Afrikaans language. Any recommendations please?
I said you can find resources online. I don’t have those because it’s not something I am looking into
Hi enjoyed the video. Not related to the video , but how do you transfer videos form your iPhone to your HP laptop for editing .
I don’t edit with my HP laptop. I edit with a computer. I move my videos to google photos and download them from my computer and edit them with WonderShare Filmora🌸
Thank you so much for all the great advice 💖. Is FNB easy account the same as FNB easy debit account?
Yes
@@ZuriAfricaokay. Thanks.
Can Nigerians use this FNB easy account?
I have no idea
@@ZuriAfrica okay, thanks.
Zuri please help how do you link fnv to paypal? I have been trying but it declines
Please go to fnb so that they can help you. I went to the branch near me
What teaching materials are you using?
Good information.
But, if you were teaching 8 lessons a day, at 5$ each, what did you do to get to 3000$a week?????????????????????????????
Where are you getting $3000 from?
Hello, you said it on minute 7 and 47 seconds. "In order to get 3500 $ per week you touched 7 to 8 hours a day"
Dont get me wrong, I am trying to understand.
I think maybe you might need to work on your listening skills a little bit. There is a big difference between Rands (ZAR South African Currency) and Dollars (United States of America Currency)
@@ZuriAfrica jajaja, it may be, but is not so much on listening skills, anyway...
Hi Zuri.
How many lessons to you teach each student. And which study resources are you using?
th-cam.com/video/j5qMfiXlD0E/w-d-xo.html
Hi dear I'm interested but I'm working can I do it part time?
Which times are the busiest on preply ? As in where i could get more bookings ( ignoring other factors such as price )
I do not know. I worked for italki not Preply. I hope someone in the comment section can help you, who is currently working for Preply🌸 I opened my schedule from 5am until 9pm if that helps
Very Informative video! Which PayPal account should one open for teaching English online? Business or personal?
I opened a personal one
@@ZuriAfrica Got it , thank you 😊
Do you put 5 dollars for both, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes?
No. I add a little more money for longer time but not that much.
Hello. Quick question:what kind of internet do you use for your classes?
I'm applying on preply and I failed the internet connection test.
I have fibre from webafrica
Which package did you take,if I want to work full time which package must I take so that I don't run out of data. Also...do they need your Matric Certificate when hiring?
The unlimited one. If you want to be a community tutor then you don’t have to upload any certificate
Do you do mentorships??
Hi Zuri hope you well i have gotten the TEFl certificate but i cant seem to get work Italki is always closed for English please guide me into the right direction
The first part of the video I said apply to other platforms
Any updates? Did it reopen? Have you applied to other platforms? Because I find it closed too
hey if I were to become a community teacher and teach Afrikaans, am I able to conduct the lesson in both English and Afrikaans?
Yes

They have been on a hiring freeze for a while so apply to the other teaching platforms I mention
Hi Zuri darling tell me hun how do you cope with loadshedding,im asking this in terms of network?
I had the schedule on my phone and I had to reschedule lessons with my students. I struggled teaching online with loadsheading
@thembikubheka943 I heard you need a USP to counter load shedding, that's like a power bank for your laptop
how are the hours 20:00 to 1:00am are there a lot of people online during that hours
I don’t know. I’ve never done those hours.
Hi Zuri thank you for all the advises love...I have a very huge problem I have the tefl and have a preply profile but I can't get students at all its been 3 months I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Thank you very nice video 👏. This may be unrelated but can l ask which qualification do you have from unisa
BEd (Bachelors of Education)
Which company can I apply which hires fast and pay better
Preply
Hi the 15 percent i am being charged, is that per lesson or as per total amount made per day?
Yes. Per lesson
Hi can you please help me with my application at italki as im battling since yesterday.
What are you battling with?
Hi, I have a question
The certificates must be translated into English?
What certificate?
@Zuri Africa the BA, for example. ❤️
I actually do not know hey 🤔🤔 I’ve never thought about that since our degrees in SA are already in English I just assumed everyone else’s was too maybe. Just try and upload and see what they say
Ok thank you 😊❤️
What desktop or laptop do you need do you need 8gig ram
HP laptop
Zuri your video was informative the question I asked some agencies need certain specs on their laptop do you know what specs is yours for teaching?
Hi girl I just want to know is there age restrictions
No but I think you can’t be younger than 18
Thanks Zuri for the information. Can anyone help me with answers for the TFL Exam, I have already failed twice, please guys. Only answers for me to get my certificate. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Can you sign up and book a lesson with me on italki so that I can help you? I don’t do that service for free
I want to start teaching English online but my laptop's battery life is 45 min, n I don't have backup
Can you now keep it charged the whole time? Or you can just do 45 minute classes 🌸
@@ZuriAfrica I meant during loadshedding, but I think I’ll will work up to an hour.
Do i become a professional teacher with a teaching diploma
Please check on the website what requirements they need from you to know if you qualify
Can you teach even though you ate 17yrs
Are*
I don’t remember what the age limit is but I think you need to 18 at leastb
Please am from Nigeria, I would like to know if itaki, preply and the rest accept Nigerians.
You can teach from any country but just go check on their website.
I am really struggling with introduction videos and demo video 😢
Please join this Facebook group and ask for help there: facebook.com/groups/709409700766127/
How long does it take for these agencies to respond to our applications?
Did you watch the video? I spoke about that in this video 🤕
Hi. What materials do I need if I'll be applying to be a tutor?
Materials to teach with or?
I just had my first student on livexp and ewww!! Omg he was very inappropriate.
Making demands so that he gives me a 5 star wtf

Can I also ask when you choose how you would like to teach , would you advise one chooses zoom or Skype?
I would choose the one I’m comfortable with. I had Skype on my phone which was inconsistent. So if you know how to use zoom on
