You're welcome!

@@hummingbirdcage5098 Preply is certainly a worthwhile side hustle which can help. It helps me keep my head above financial water so to speak. You just need to remember that you need to report your self-employed earnings and pay National Insurance.

@@ELTExperiences thank you for your reply. I might give it a try 🤞

I’ve returned back to Korea now despite the amazing experiences that I had in the U.K.

This is a great question and thank you for your comment. For me, I try to note down as much as what the student says - both examples of good utterances as well as areas for improvement. I try to be as balanced as possible and then provide positive feedback as well as scaffold language for learners. In a way, I find making a note of what is uttered reminds me about different aspects of what the student has said and then this provides a key example of my dedication. So, yes I do this in every trial lesson.

Thank you so much for your comment. I hope that it helps other online language teachers.

I appreciate your kind words and I am glad that the video was helpful.

Your typing is amazing. I type only one finger when i write any text🤣🤣🤣 I want to write a fantasy novel and grammar topics from basic to PhD level. Is it a good idea.isn't it ?? I am non native from pakistan and i am a college student as well. I love your every video. I want to become a CELTA teacher like you. Give me a piece of advice please. I'll wait for your text.

@nasirchnasir6970 thank you so much and with practice you will become an amazing teacher … and an amazing typewriter too! Do the CELTA asap and you won’t regret it. 😃

@@ELTExperiences My best tutor i can't take the course nowadays because i have no single penny. But CELTA is my dream goal i will definitely take this course after collecting money. I will do my best to fulfill my goal. I am studying in the semester two in the BS English field.after completing my graduation i will do M.phil in the ELT field.After that i will take the CELTA course because i want to be an expert in the English language teaching first. 😊😊🎇🎆

Thank you so much for your input and I am sure there is an AI tool available, despite my speed with typing while listening to the student.

@@ELTExperiences That was thee most comprehensive trial I have ever seen. So well structured. Your approach is commendable.

That’s a respectable grade. Well done. 👏🏻

The part-time CELTA can be completed over a number of months which will give plenty of spare time or to work part-time too.

Unfortunately it is the way it is in the UK with an oversupply of ESOL teachers and a scarcity of learners that are willing to come to the UK. It is a race to the bottom.

Thanks for the comment and the question. When it came to having my degree notarised, I had a range of other documents to also have notarised as well. This all cost around £250 or so in total but I believe that one degree certificate costs approximately £70-£80 or so. In fact there is a company in the UK called Hague Apostille which offers competitive prices for one or a number of documents that need notarised and an apostille. More info here: www.hagueapostille.co.uk/. Hope this helps and good luck with your moving to Thailand. 😊

I am pleased you found this video helpful. Best of luck with your trial lesson tomorrow. 😊

Great suggestion! I shall add this to my list of video ideas.

Thank you ever so much and pleased you have watched my older videos. I am rather embarrassed by them to be honest.

I am so sorry to hear that. I would recommend that you get in touch with Preply and report the tutor. He is not fit to be on the platform and I am sure you would meet a good teacher, and Preply will be more than happy to replace your lesson free of charge.

Absolutely. It is great to hear that online teaching is becoming more acceptable these days, especially after the pandemic.

I am pleased that you enjoyed this video. I tried to be as candid as possible regarding the benefits and the drawbacks. The fact that everything grinds to a halt by the winter is a factor why there is much turnover in the EFL industry in the UK as well as the miserable pay, after many invest in their CPD and various qualifications. This is another reason I ended up back in South Korea.

I would recommend anyone wishing to get into EAP is to do an MA in English Language Teaching, Linguistics or Language Acquisition. There is also another route into this by doing a DELTA instead as some universities are willing to accept this as an alternative to the MA.

I hope you enjoyed the video. 😊

You are my respectful teacher. You are the brainy CELTA teacher. You are a knowledgeable CELTA certified teacher.You are a well qualified CELTA teacher.I also wanna become a CELTA teacher like you. You are the best. But sometimes i feel i can't do it because i am a non native speaker from pakistan. I have a strong desire to become a CELTA teacher.😞 but i'm doing my upmost to full fill my dream goal.

Glad you found these tips helpful! 😊

The online CELTA certificate does not have any indication on it that it was the online course, and is the same certificate as the face-to-face one. The haters are gonna hate but don't listen to them.

I’m no expert when it comes to law but after ten years, don’t records for DUI get expunged? I think in the grand scheme of things, it won’t be too problematic but always best to check online to see what the recommendation is. I’m sure you’re not the first person to encounter this. In terms of certification, the CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL are regarded as the best courses to undertake. They are worth their weight in gold and will certainly open more doors for you.

@@ELTExperiences Oh! Good I asked you before I paid for TEFL! It does seem like Japan prefers TEFL. But if they will take CELTA then I will just do CELTA! Thanks! I got my DUI in Texas, I'm not sure if it's been expunged. Texas is pretty tough on DUI's. Nothing was struck and there was no resisting or anything. It was a clean arrest... I currently live in the Philippines. It's just a few hundred dollars and some hours to visit Korea in person. The apostille process for my degree and FBI background check might be difficult from here, though. Thank you! I will look into CELTA, now!

@@oodo2908 you’re very welcome and I wish you all the very best of luck. Once you have everything to go, and all your things prepared to start your contract, all will go well. I am sure. Keep me posted and I hope you enjoy the CELTA. It is available online as well as face-to-face. I really enjoyed my course.

@@oodo2908 the only thing I could find about this was in this forum: www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=406171. Upon a little digging, you could request that the DUI be expunged and then apply for a Criminal Background Check. Good luck 🤞

@@ELTExperiences There seems to be a centre for CELTA here in Manila. Having trouble finding how to register for online courses and I don't see a fee... I just read that CELTA is best for teaching adults? Will it still be considered for teaching children? Are adults the better career path?

That is a great idea and I will add this to my list of possible future videos. 😊

@@ELTExperiences I'd be deeply grateful! Thank you, sir!
