Hi thankyou so much for making these videos its truly helpful. I am currently with native Camp. I have had a very good start and reached my 5 star rating within my first 7 days of teaching. I also was awarded the feature flag for one full week whereby i had a lot of reservation bookings. I would like to apply on other platforms as well because i need more students in order to earn a reasonable amount monthly. At NATIVE CAMP i basically go on standby and wait for students to book you and its been a bit slow recently. Currently i am working according to Japans time zone so I work around the clock. Its very important that I get another platform to work on soon.
Wow thank you for sharing with us. I never knew some companies worked like that. Yeah there are some other teaching companies that are more stable. Novakid, Preply and Cambly. Try and apply for those and see how it goes. All the best 😊
This was so ridiculously helpful. You've really helped me decide who to apply to. I'll keep coming back to the channel. Gotta support fellow SA people on here.
I teach for itutor (turorABC) and I would never recommend it to any South African because you will be paid $3 if you are from south Africa ... their pay rate is so low and their rating system is so unreasonable as student will give you a low rating not because you are a bad teacher but maybe because you are black or they just do not like you. if a student complains about you they suspend your account, they so strict and don't care about teachers yet they pay cents.. m just teaching because I have no other option and I'm unemployed... the sooner i get something better I'm gone.
Thank you for sharing Jaqueline. It is important for people to do research and read reviews about different teaching companies to try and avoid this from happening. But I hope you find something better 🌸
Been dreading shooting a video for my application process. This is a sign. Plus also I've been shopping around for month to month wi-fi deals I am struggling😪. Thank you for the info helps a lot.
Hello , good job i am a Cameroonian with a bachelor's degree in Education Biology and an associate degree in Accounting, with 7 years teaching experience
😭😭omg Yoh. I don’t not what to lie to you heyy. I just fill my taxes as a freelancer. And I get help from my partner, I know nothing but I did go apply to get a tax number and all of that so 😐
Nova kid is a bit strict, their interview is also like you’re in a class to see how you’d be able to handle kids with short attention spans and as far as the internet speed they test it for you before the interview
Thank you for this video! ^^ Also gives a bit of hope, given the current deplorable state of online teaching since the lockdowns and the big shift in the market thanks to China's nonsensical policies, as well as the annoyingly high number of sites that only accept Americans and Canadians. Never expect to make amazing money with online teaching, but it's still FAR better than most local options thanks to the USD to rand exchange rate and that it's part time. Really hope I can finally land myself one. Thank you again and all of the best for you! Oh, and Merry Christmas! 😀
I’ve tried to apply to Palfish but I’ve been asked to prepare a simulation class but I don’t intend to teach children. How can I bypass this? Because I also read somewhere that they don’t ask SA teachers to teach kids. I just want to teach adults.
I tried palfish I live in Senegal west Africa but I didn't receive any otp from palfish system I don't know why anyone in west Africa working in palfish?
I tried both Italki and Cambly it does not give me an option to teach only option for applying to learn. How do I go about this I have 14 years of experience in teaching
Hey Zuri, I applied on Preply and they accepted me but they are still verifying my documents. Incase Preply disapproves my documents, how can I check if Voxy is still taking students ?
Hello dear, I trust that you're well. I'm struggling with applying to Palfish, I don't know if I downloaded the wrong app or what. May you kindly assist by sharing the link to the right app. I'm not receiving the verify code on the one that I've downloaded.
Hey. I have very limited knowledge on this specific teaching Platform. I only know about italki. Please search for other teachers on RUclips that are on Palfish..
Hey babes, you mentioned that when the English language is closed we should choose Afrikaans then later change to English. I'm not as proficient in Afrikaans but I can have a basic conversation, read and write in Afrikaans. So I'd like to know would that be an issue?
Great video.. I've watched tons of RUclipsrs talk about teaching online,but what I'd like to know is where do you get like the resources or curriculum to teach and how do you structure this daily like once you have the students ect
There are many Esl websites that I use to find material from. English club, VOA English learning.. and many more. Just google lessons for Esl (adults or kids) and something will pop up.
Visit some of your banks in Nigeria and find out if any of them work with Paypal. Here in South-Africa I only know of 1 bank that does Paypal and that's FNB
Another platform that doesn't require a TEFL certificate is Preply. But down side of Preply is that they take 100% commission on all your trial lessons and 30% commission for follow up lessons.
Thank you for sharing. I wanted to include Preply but when I checked they weren’t taking South Africa’s. I think it’s worth trying. Here is about her company to try guys 💖
@@ZuriAfrica I got accepted a month ago. But it's worth trying your luck especially if you are not employed. And thank you for the tip about applying for afrikaans on italki since English is closed for now. 😊🤗
@@karabokgasago7577 so far so good..I was fortunate to get students within a week.. my rate was low and I opened my calendar 24/7 . But now I'm on 7Usd per hour and have set my working hours for when it's convenient for me to teacher. The only thing I dont like it's the commission they take but you have to start somewhere right?😊 which platform are you teaching on?
Hi beautiful Zuri please help I am a Zimbabwean livening in South Africa doing my degree in SA and l just completed my TEFL certificate and l passed and received it My question is will l qualify since l am Zimbabwean living in South Africa
Yoh I do not know. If you have a South African ID maybe idk… cause they ask you about your stuff so try your luck and let us know how it went. But what you can do is that you can try and look for companies that take people from Zim on that website…
Hi, I work on Preply and its going fine so far but I am looking for other websites to supplement my income. So thank you for this. I have heard seen that Palfish and NovaKid only accept US and UK teachers so please let me know if you passed your application process.
Hi Zuri. Thank you for your insightful videos. I have been teaching for 5 years at a special needs school in a permanent position. I have a Tesol certificate and B.ed degree. I will be blunt, I can't see myself going back next year after having lost my son. Realistically, is this something I can do on a full-time basis from home? What is the potential monthly income? I know il be earning way less, but would it be decent? Decent as R10 to 15000 per month I guess.
Honestly the online teaching is semi seasonal. You can make that much money from Jan until April but after that the number of students you get goes down because people aren’t as interested in learning English as they are beginning of the year. I have no experience with teaching kids I only taught 5 and it was up and down too.. but I heard if you taught from age 4 to 12 years old you get more consistent students which means consistent income.
I'll watch the ads sisi❤❤

Thank you so much. 🎉🤗🤗
Very informative thanks I will share with my daughter
My pleasure
I hope I'm not too late. I didn't know where to start and this video was really helpful thank you
It’s never late but italki is on a hiring freeze. I made another video about other companies hiring though
Been applying after watching your video. I think this is the 5th time I’m watching it
Yeah italki is on a hiring freeze try Preply
Hey hun, love your videos❤️can you please make a video on how the South African tax system works whilst doing this job
😭😭omg Yoh. I don’t not what to lie to you heyy. I just fill my taxes as a freelancer. And I get help from my partner, I know nothing but I did go apply to get a tax number and all of that so 😐
@@ZuriAfrica Yeah, that's what I've been told it needs to be. I was talking to some bookkeepers and accountants about it a while ago.
Maybe you can share much better advice in terms of tax stuff… I’m a bit clueless

Did you land a good opportunity
Thank you for this video
Very good content, but I think the pay is over inflated. When it comes to actually applying, I have found they pay much less normally.
Really? I did not know that.
I’ve tried to apply to Palfish but I’ve been asked to prepare a simulation class but I don’t intend to teach children. How can I bypass this? Because I also read somewhere that they don’t ask SA teachers to teach kids. I just want to teach adults.
I do not know. I would say maybe prepare for the lesson in anyway so that you can go through
I tried palfish I live in Senegal west Africa but I didn't receive any otp from palfish system I don't know why anyone in west Africa working in palfish?
thank you
Sisi please help. when you apply to palfish during the application process where do you branch from applying for formal teaching to free talk teaching
I m very interested. my question is: there is no age limit to do this job?
I tried both Italki and Cambly it does not give me an option to teach only option for applying to learn. How do I go about this I have 14 years of experience in teaching
Use your laptop to apply not your phone then you will get options to apply to teach
Hey Zuri, I applied on Preply and they accepted me but they are still verifying my documents. Incase Preply disapproves my documents, how can I check if Voxy is still taking students ?
I meant tutors ?
Sorry I do not know how to do that

Hello, aren't they employing other nationals except south Africans?
You’re incredible
The Really Great Teacher Company is also hiring South Africans.
Thank you for sharing🌸
Do you have a TEFL Zuri? If you do where is it from?
No I do not have one. Just a BEd degree.
Yeah same here. FET phase, struggling to find something. But hopefully something comes up
All the best. Try online teaching in the meantime🌸
Hi sisi how do I apply for a TEFL certificate please advice

Hi can you post the link for itutor group. The oetjobs is showing an error or is their site down
I do not have the link. Please go on google and search for the company.
Hi dear thank you so much for this informative vidoe. Can I please ask where you get teachinf material for your online classes?
Google ESL lesson plan for the specific age you are teaching and work with that. Normally I check out the Cambridge website
@@ZuriAfrica okay thank you dear

Pleas. Help me i whant good ingliah teacher online
For those that require a degree, is it strictly a bachelor's degree, or a degree equivalence like a B -Tech or advanced diploma is also acceptable?
Hey babes, you mentioned that when the English language is closed we should choose Afrikaans then later change to English. I'm not as proficient in Afrikaans but I can have a basic conversation, read and write in Afrikaans. So I'd like to know would that be an issue?
If you can do your intro in Afrikaans properly then you should try it out. So that you have an account on the platform
Thanks 🌸
Hi Zuri, I teach for Pangea(EF)

I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
Visit some of your banks in Nigeria and find out if any of them work with Paypal. Here in South-Africa I only know of 1 bank that does Paypal and that's FNB
Hi Zuri is there a preffered TFL teaching level
No unless they ask for it but the company I worked for didn’t ask any of that
Hi sis, can I apply at Novakid without a degree but with a TEFL certificate instead? 🙂
Please go to www.oetjobs.com to find out more information. They have specific requirements there
Hey, did cambly ever get back to you, I've also been waiting for then to approve my profile
Nop. They never did.

Can you reshoot again? I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t even know how to fix it. Only I can think of is reshoot and maybe use someone else’s phone.

What is the most recommended Webcam to use for online teaching?
I do not know, I use the camera on my laptop.
Where to get the type of internet connection they need because they say WiFi is not acceptable? please help
If you have the funds try and apply with webafrica. They will give you a router and usually you connect that directly to your laptop.
