Sir, I've already done.
Nice tips
Thanks for your help
Thank you very much. This is excellent content, and I agree with all, that’s you have mentioned, especially a comfortable chair! Unfortunately, my daughter doesn’t Only teach five or six lessons a day. She teaches more like 8 to 10 lessons per day. That is a hectic schedule, as there’s lesson preparation, homework, feedback, and I need not go on. The reason, she has such a heavy schedule, is because as a South African, she is not regarded by most of the companies, as a native English speaker, and because of this, she is paid much less than other online teachers. This places the South African English speakers in the difficult position, of having to take on a heavier workload, in order to make a decent wage. This is patently unfair, and just because a country has so many official languages, does not indicate, that we are not native English speakers. We are indeed native English speakers, and we have accents not dissimilar from neutral British accents. We are not Afrikaans, nor Zulu speakers. Indeed, there are non native English speakers from South Africa who teach online, but that should be taken into account, when companies hire them. Our mother tongue is English. For this reason, I do wish the companies would recognise this, and pay us accordingly.
These are very valuable practical tips, much appreciated. I am proud that I got all of that covered right now except for a nice chair.
You've really upped the quality in this video. Are you editing everything by yourself? As a fellow CZcamsr, I'd like to see your CZcams process/workflow
Hi Danny and thanks for the comment. I am certainly editing everything myself and it took me ages - probably as I kept putting off the work - but I am so glad to have taken my time with this video. I’d be happy to share my workflow and process for making videos on CZcams. Perhaps another project to add for a future video and thanks again for the suggestion. Regards, Martin 😊
Thank you sir
The introduction cracked me up!! 😂 Thanks Martin 😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed the introduction. I had fun making this video. 😜
Nice 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the tips they are insightful. Is it possible to teach online if you still teaching full-time?
Thank you
You're welcome!
Great tips, Martin! I'd just add that I think bluetooth headphones have come a long way over the past few years. I haven't had connection issues at all with my Sony WH-1000XM3 or Apple AirPods.
That’s great to hear. I guess that the most modern Bluetooth headphones have less issues than their older counterparts. I’ve never used AirPods before but I guess the connectivity is second to none. 🎧
Hi Martin, great video! I have a question regarding online teaching platforms. In your experience, what are great online teaching platforms that you would recommend to someone who is just starting out with teaching English online? I see you have various videos on Preply, but is there any other platform that you would recommend?
Yes same question here
Hi Martin is there a free way to get teaching material other than Ellii or Linguahouse? I thought I heard you mention in one of your videos. Thank you you're the best1
ISL Collective offer some wonderful free resources for online lessons: en.islcollective.com/.
hi, I have been teaching in preply for a while but how do i teach business English in a fun and engaging manner, and please recommend some sites.
Can we use mobile phone instead of Laptop or Computer
I would advise against it as you will not be able to share any documents or your screen should you use your phone to teach.
I’ve been adapting some of the Preply topics to include more personal questions and some better questions.
Can you think of ways I can get more grammar practice into my lessons?
An interesting question regarding getting more practice with grammar during lessons. I suppose it depends what practice you are referring towards (i.e. pen and paper or spoken practice). If it’s the latter then perhaps roleplays or targeted discussions may be of use.
When it comes to teaching English online is there categories I don't have to teach for example if I just only wanted the teach people have to read and speak but I don't want to teach how the spell is that possible in any of the websites would appreciate a response thank you
no, language is a an expression of thought, so unless they can express themselves in another language you NEED to teach them how to do it in english, youre not a teacher if you dont
what youre looking for is a translation job
Sir is preply a platform where we become only language tutor .Sir I want to teach chemistry on preply .Can my profile being approved if I want to teach chemistry on preply
I believe on Preply you are able to teach a variety of subjects, not just languages. So if you want to teach chemistry, it should be possible.
