Thank you very much for your tips Teacha Karen. Followed your tips and I had a great demo a while ago so right now they're reviewing/scoring my performance... Fingers crossed here.
Thank you for the review teacher Karen! Your videos had always been my go-to in my journey as an aspiring ESL teacher this year and after watching your videos I wanted to apply in Native Camp, but unfortunately they need experienced ESL teachers. Currently I am working hard to gain months of experience before I apply and when the time comes, I'm very excited to use all your advice and tips for my application. You're an inspiration teacher Karen! God bless! 💞💞💞
Awww thank you so much for appreciating what I do. I hope when you get all the experience you need, NC would be a great company to you too! :) Enjoy teaching!
@@TeachaKaren Hi teacha I also worked with Acadsoc, and I lost my confidence after that, but now I am really pursuing my application. Thank you for bringing back my confidence.
Thank you for sharing videos about Esl Teacher :-) I always wait for the new one, big help po talaga yung naseshare nyo, inspiration din po kayo for a beginner like me. I also love how you speak ENglish, nakakahelp din sya talaga. I am practicing with my accent until now, I am amazed p rin po how you achieved that kind of accent. I just love to hear it po.(swear :-)
More videos and more power Teacher :-)
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate that kind words, nakakalambot ng puso kapag naaappreciate mga pinagagagawa ko ehehehe alam ko balang araw magigng mahusay ka na ESL teacha
FIRST!!!!thank you teacha..
Thank you so much for all the love!!! kilig!!!
Thank you Teacher Karen for motivating us. Buti na lang napapanood na kita bago ko makita yung bad reviews or feedbacks sa fb about NC. Demo lesson na lang po ako, hopefully makapasok.
Kaya mo yan, tandaan ang negative experience natin eh iba iba, maganda din na matry mo to see if this company is the right fit for you :) tsaka minsan kaya may bad experience kasi pati yung teacher may pagkukulang :(
thank you teacha! I'm a new applicant at nativecamp ^^
Best of luck! I hope you like it here :)
THIS IS SO HELPFUL! THANK YOU TEACHER. B2 pa rank ko hehe
You're welcome 😊 Ako, nasa B1 na ata uli kasi I stopped teaching muna (maternity leave). Madali naman magrank up basta consistent
Hello Teacha Karen! Thank you so much for you videos. They really helped me a lot. I already passed all the steps of the application process. May I know how many days before my profile will be approved by the admin? Thank you ! :)
Awesome! It usually takes 3-5 days to get approved :)
Maraming salamat teacha karen alam mo ba lagi akong nanunuod ng video mo bago ako magturo pang motivate kahit pagod sa gawaing bahay at alaga ng anak, push ang pagiging part time tutor♥️
awww I'm so happy to know this naman! soon ako naman kukuha ng motivation sa mga kapwa mommies kapag bumalik na ako from maternity leave
Hello po! I'm an aspiring ESL teacher still looking for the best company to teach the first time. I watched your video at the very end and its very informative about the company itself. I would give it a shot, you inspire me. 🤗
I'm happy to be an inspiration
Hi Teacha Karen! Just found your channel and really appreciate your tips! Since I am a native English speaker, do I need six months of previous ESL training? Thanks!
No you don't :) your first language is your advantage 🥰
"If you give them love, they'll give you love." Noted teacha! I'm inspired to do my best again tho I'm still familiarizing myself with the platform. Thanks for this! Kabado sa Part 2 hahaha
I love NC, love din tuloy nila ako heheheh dapat totoong love, hindi yung pakitang tao lang kasi if you love your company and your job, it will show through your actions and results 🥰
@@TeachaKaren Will keep this in mind. Thanks for the tip, teacha! 🥰
Video suggestion po about contracts for private students sana 😁. Thanks Teacha!
Noted! will make one before I go on maternity leave.
Hi there, i got accepted and managed to make an account! Thank you for all the informations, you helped me a lot!!! I only have one question. If i put that i'm available in some time period, and if that period is not booked, do i still have to be on standby then or i have to be there only if i have a booked class?
You only have to be on standby for a booked class, if your class is unbooked, you could choose not to go on standby
Hey! Love your videos. I was confused with the payment system. As it's the 28th of February, i thought i would be paid on the 1st of March for the days 15-28 feb. But the guidelines now say that i will be paid on the 10th of March?? I'm pretty confused.
Yes, I believe it's on the 10th and the 25th :) we still get paid twice a month but we receive the previous cutoff's salary
Hi Teacher Karen! Good evening. Please give me an advise on what's the best headset use for online teaching. Preferably, something that's noise cancelling and budget friendly.
Jabra Evolve 20 (on the description box) is budget-friendly.
Thank You Teacha Karen! I passed my retake demo kanina po. Sir Francis was my demo evaluator both 2 takes. 😁😁😁Your videos helped me a lot 💕🤗 🙏 God bless you more
hahahaha congratulations! I'm happy to know that you passed!
@@TeachaKaren Much love Teacha! 🙏💕
Congratulations on passing the demo lesson.
Did he tell you right away after the demo lesson that you passed?
Hi Teacha Karen! Oh, aw.I failed my Demo Test and was asked to re-apply after 6 mos. I made the mistake of writing while I was talking or presenting the lesson, following the flow. I was kinda focused on writing the Questions and the Answers of the student. Thus, I lagging or my pace was slow. What can I do to ace my 2nd chance, after 6 mos. I also failed my 2 other trials due to connectivity issues. Thanks & all the best! Take care of your baby.:)
I suggest you practice how to multi-task. Maybe you can practice with a friend or a family and have them pretend to be your student. Multi-tasking is a skill you learn over time. This is an essential skill in ESL, you must be able to use multiple resources while speaking or staying focused in class.
Please give me a tip on demo lesson and how it works
Hi, mam! thank you so much for the information. where did u buy your headphone po?
From Lazada / Shopee. You can check the links on the description box
Hi, Teacher! Is Native Camp still hiring? I checked today and I can't find Philippines in the country selection.
Hi teacher Karen. How are classes booked?
I've just applied to Native Camp at approximately 4 this morning and I got queue number 1 and wait in no long😂
Greetings from an American 🇺🇸 teacher of English and Spanish in Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼! I’m going through the application process and I just subscribed to your channel. I keep hearing what sounds like “pass odds” when you talk about pay. What is that word? Thank you 🙏
Maybe I was saying our currency with the proper pronunciation from my country? LOL Pesos? Please note that the salary of a native speaker is about 5 times higher than a none-native :)
@@TeachaKaren, thank you 🙏! Maybe that was it
I hope I can be like you someday 😍🙏🏼
AWW thank you! Aim to be better
Hi!I tried to have my 2nd demo lesson last night, but the admin couldn’t hear me. I was able to hear her clearly and my first demo went very well but he told me that I should look at the student while teaching and I forgot to repeat each sentence twice.
Now, is it considered a second try or not? Thanks for answering my question.
Technically, that would be your second try since the second demo lesson was invalid due to technical issues.
Sometimes they do that ... Just to fail you 🤦🏻♀️
Good day, teacha Karen. I'm a subscriber to your CZcams channel. I am highly interested in applying for a position as a teacher at a native camp. However, I have some concerns about the application requirements. I'd like to know if it's possible to apply without a BPI bank account or a TIN number. I don't have those requirements yet. And also Is it still allowed, maam, to have teaching experience as a tutor?
Hello Jennylyn, we must all have TIN and BPI OR PNB account during or before the application process. 6 months ESL experience is also a must :(
@@TeachaKaren Okay teacha Karen, thanks for your response
Hi po so nag inquire po ako sa facebook then pinanood nila ko ng presenatation. Then mukhang appealing naman at legit yung progress. Native Camp daw po sila at itetrain ka nila tapos need ng deposit na 350 pesos. Legit po ba ito?
Are you talking about a native English speaker? 10:30 ? I'm curious because I'm supposed to start teaching sapuri lessons soon🙂
Yes, native speakers have a higher salary than near-natives :)
Hello teacher can you guide me with some interview questions for Native camp. I want to apply
Please send me an email 🥰
Hi teacher Karen, what is the contract with native camp? Is it for life?
We don't really have a service contract but much more of an agreement about our responsibilities should we choose to teach here.
Hello plz they say reapply after 6 months but when I came back it's not allowed
You can try using another email address
Hi teacher Karen
I have a question
That's how I found out from your videos and other sites
Salary payment in Camply is much higher than Nativecamp
(Minimum $10 an hour versus $3 an hour)
So why don't the teachers of Nativecamp move to Camply ?
Thank You
Maybe it's a matter of preference, flexibility and ease in teaching. Native speakers earn 5-10USD in Native camp but non-natives like my self earn less, like 2-3 USD
Hi teach. I'm planning to apply in nativecamp but i don't have pnb or bpi account. Is it okay to apply and get hired first before i open a bank account?
Yes it is, but I would do both simultaneously to avoid salary issues in the end :)
Online application for PNB has no fee po and they still have a promo. You'll have a lifetime no minimum balance savings account until the end of March 2022 if you apply online.
@@TeachaKaren thanks teach.
@@ericvalenzuela146 hi po. Do you know what are the requirements po?
@@jarence4413 valid id. PhilHealth ID will do po ata.
Hi teacher Karen, ask ko lng po pwede po ba through palawan or gcash yung payment method dito sa native camp?
No teacha... Bpi or PNB lang po
@@TeachaKarennasa demo process na po yung application ko pero ang problema wala pa po akong bpi or pnb account, pano po yun?
Hello! Is it true that Filipino teachers are required to attend 6 months mandatory training?
Not true :)
Hello po! Does the classes in this company po ba ay Booked or sudden classes?
Both po
How much do you earn from NativeCamp monthly teacha Karen? With the incentives. I just want to set my goal, and you're inspiring me to apply here. I'm currently teaching ESL under an agency and the salary is very low.
I used to work there for just like 4-8 hours 5 times a week. I earn about 25-35k since I also have additional bonuses as an Elite teacher.
@@TeachaKaren Oh, I see, thank you so much po sa answer! Pero "used to" po? May iba kana pong job?
ESL is my side-hustle, my actual job is a professional event host :) although, right now ang full time job ko na naloloka na ako minsan e ang pagiging ful-time mama hahahaha
@@TeachaKaren oh I see po hehe, you're a very responsible mom, more power sa channel mo teacha karen! ✨
Hello teacher Karen! I really like watching your videos because i can get so many ideas. Teacher, i sent you an email regarding native camp. Hopefully you'll noticed it and you can help 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
I will check it out
Did the rate change before this video was uploaded? I heard it was ₱60/class, but according to you, it's ₱80. I'm confused. 😣
Not really, been the same ever since, php80 per 25 minute BOOKED class but if it is a SUDDEN class, it's php55
@@TeachaKaren Thanks! I found out when I watched another video of yours. Hahahaha.
The info here is outdated. Since Feb 2023, NC has implemented unilateral policy decisions like facial recognition software, sudden deactivations due to alleged incidents & unfair ratings & bans on Open Space & biased rankings toward native speakers & free lesson tagged new tutors that lead to the brunt of the tutors not being able to teach even sudden classes. I'm Filipino-American & somehow didn't even qualify as a NS despite giving proof of ID. NC also has a very buggy website that crashes all too often which they refuse to resolve or admit despite the issue being made known repeatedly by tutors.
My rating 4.76 only. I don't know what to do. Ang hirap makakuha nang mga students. Ito lang ang pinagkakakitaan ko.
Mindset should be, gagalingan ko sa lahat ng class ko para magbook sila uli. syempre nakakapressure yun, but you have to learn how to set aside your worries and simply enjoy the job (while giving it your best) :) Good luck!
mam karen nag email po ako sana mabasa ehehe thanks
Just after saying my sound and system was ok, the admin person said my application process could not go on because of my location. I don't know how to feel about this. Dear Teacher Karen, is there anything I can do about this? I don't want to wait for 6 more months as suggested and I don't want to settle for another ESL company.
Oh that's sad. What exactly did they say about your location?
@@TeachaKaren Thank you so much for responding. He mentioned that a circular had been passed and they are not to take persons from certain locations and mine is on the list. He said that he wouldn't be able to explain why and that I should try again in 6 months time.
Was it Texas?
Please what is your location?
@@thedigiteacher Nigeria
Teacha Karen. Good Day! Help me how to boost confident for my Demo. Thank you.
You got this! Practice is key, I have a walkthrough of both books for demo.
@@TeachaKaren Thank you share your idea with us.
masusungit ang admin, period.
depende po sa admin, pero sa demo class palang, I think they are all instructed po to be intimidating para matest talaga ang applicant
I think they are instructed to be intimidating po talaga during the interview ng applicants para talagang matest ka under pressure
I'm sorry but Applying for native camp sucks. Why should you wait 1 to 6 hours in front of your desk just waiting on standby to get a demo teaching test while you could simply reserve a time! If they want to be good they have to respect the applicants time. F native camp for not respecting the applicants time!
I respect your opinion. I was honestly upset myself when I was applying. The 2 hours I waited without any idea how long I had to wait was the worst!
