    Changed the default camera setting and was glad I did as the child was 15 minutes early! It was fun to peak into their lives while they wait for me to go live.
    Ready for questions?
    Where do I find my mentor and my admin? And the groups?
    I've been told a good way to get bookings is to do things on the Palfish Reading App, but I cannot find it! Where can I find and download the app?
    And I learned the hard way that you need to close my schedule when I go to bed. Thankfully I woke up 14 minutes before the class and didn't miss it, but now on I make sure to close out the times I plan to be sleeping or doing other things! I tend to close out the time right after someone books a class (if they book for 9pm, I'll close 9:30pm) just so I have extra time in case they come in late. Although I am told that the classroom will close at the end, even though I've gone to 26 minutes still saying bye to the student.

    Hi Jillian, great video! I just passed my Palfish interview and I am wondering in real lessons do the slides have the texts below with instructions for what the Teacher has to say or this is only on the demo interview lesson?
    And do you get to see the presentation/layout of a lesson before you teach it? Hopefully my questions made sense :) Thank you

    I have a question about the different slides. Are they chosen by the student before hand and we teach what ever slide they chose. Or do we make the slides? Also is it okay to wait a day or 2 before taking the quiz or is that a no no? And can you close a few days off before starting to teach students so their is time to prep? Thank you! You videos are very helpful

    • @IndependentTeacherAcademy
      @IndependentTeacherAcademy  3 года назад

      The slides are made by Palfish. You'll teach them in order, depending on their level. You can take a day or 2 to do the quiz. And yes, you can close off a few days before you teach students, but I wouldn't. You can find all of the slides for the trials in the training.

    Hi Teacher Jillian 🌸 I am currently newly accepted into Palfish and I did pass the application process, I passed the interview process, I did the bootcamp and passed the tests and I did PF1 to PF3 and received the certificates. I am currently teaching trial lessons and I am still under the probation period.
    My questions are:
    1.) Where can I find my mentor teacher and the group that I should have been added to? I have searched everywhere and I cannot find them on the app and they did not contact me. I am not currently in any group 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have heard that I can find my teacher admin by clicking on the headphones in the app at the right-hand corner.
    2.) How do I obtain the V3.0 PF1 and PF2 Trial Lesson Certificates? I thought that you receive them after completing trial lessons, but I did teach four trial lessons and did not receive them yet. How do I obtain them?
    3.) How long does the probation period last? And when do I get out of it?
    4.) Are the students that you taught rial lessons to, your students and do you get to teach them full-time or are they temporary students?
    Thank you for reading my comment 🌸

    • @IndependentTeacherAcademy
      @IndependentTeacherAcademy  Год назад +1

      Hi! Unfortunately, I can’t answer all of your questions. Much of this is outdated, and many things have changed. There are no more mentors anymore. Trial lessons are lessons with potential paying students. These are free to the parent, and a chance to see what PalFish is like. If they like you and want to buy a package, they can choose you as their teacher. Not all trial students will continue with more lessons.
