      Congratulations! Did you get hired as an ESL mentor or trial mentor? Also, I have a question not sure if it applies to you or if you can help answer. I’m an American citizen living in Turkey. Should I put my U.S. address or Turkish address on the application?
      And..is it ok that my intro video is about 1 min long?

      @@sarah_nary1123 Thank you! I got hired as an ESL mentor. I think you should put your U.S. address, but just be honest in the interview that you are living abroad. As long as you are available during the peak hours for students in Korea it shouldn't be an issue. I tried so hard to keep the video at the time they requested. I think I was one second over the time. I wouldn't stress about it, but if you can get it as close to the requested time it should be fine.

    Interesting. As a former VIPkid/TutorABC/51talk teacher who also teach in Korea and has a US based teaching license i'd say this might be worth looking into. Especially the trials. I shifted to tutoring mostly American students online and i need more morning hours filled. I might have to curb myself from using any Korean, though 😅

    Hey Tim! Great to see you talking about Nao Now. We spoke wayyyyy back about some other companies that are no longer around!
    I've been with Nao Now for over two years and can't say more good things about them. I absolutely adore my students. My favorite part about Nao Now is the flexiblity to bring your own personality to the lessons.
    There is no pressure to go click crazy and finish lessons. Each class is adapted to your student and you can bring in your own supplementary materials or games via screenshare. There are WAY more than 30 lessons per level. I just check and our Level 3 (for A2 students has 80+ lessons). Most of my students spend 1.5 or 2 25 minute sessions to complete a topic with me, so there is PLENTY of material to work with!!
    This is an amazing option for teachers who want freedom but don't want the fuss of marketing when acquiring private students.
    Nao Now is growing every single day and is continously making improvements to their own Dashboard. Being flexible and adaptable to change are important skills, but totally with it! Happy to answer other teachers' questions too :)

    How should I present the elevator pitch? It’s literally as if I’m talking to a potential student for the first time? What type of student exactly, a Korean child student? How old? And what’s the purpose? Fun? A specific test score?
    I’ve been the co-owner of the school in Japan for the last 20 years, teaching mostly kids. I’ve also taught university classes, high school, corporate classes, and special purposes classes, both in Japan and Canada.. The way I would dress, act, and present myself is completely different for all of these.
    Are they only looking for a friendly, energetic, presentable teacher for Korean children?
    I really need to know the specific target and purpose before I can put together my application.

    This is something that's been on my mind for some time now so I got my tefl tra I was a fitness coach for many of years but I got into traveling and I figured I would love to teach English and also travel around the world I love teaching and I thought this is a great opportunity but a lot of companies want you to have your bachelors not all but most.
    I have my diploma of 2 years education fitness and health promotion, my question is if I go and do another 2 years of fitness and health just to get my bachelor's what would that benefit a student trying to learn English why would a company want you to have your bachelors if it's not going to be beneficial for the student I honestly feel like I'm wasting two years of my life and money down the drain just to teach a student.

    The term 'neutral accent' is such a ridiculous, and unachievable, trait. Any company that adds this "requirement" just wants to say 'We don't want applicants outside of US/UK/AUS/CAN.
    I can understand if the company wants to limit 'heavy accents' such as thick African or Indian accents but everyone has an accent that's distinct from how and where they learnt the language. This term needs to stop being used.

      @@onlineteacherdude1284 I'd take it a step further and say accents are a part of a country and its culture. Verbal language is just one delivery method of communication. There are fundamental reasons why people talk a certain way.
      I've had plenty of students and employers turn me down as a teacher because they don't want to learn Australian English, and that's absolutely fine because I also have a lot of students, past and current, either wanting to learn it or just want to learn English from a good teacher but for a company to put vague limitations on hiring practices based on a trait that's unmeasurable is problematic.

      @@AndyShortall-b4r Well, I think non-natives can be just as good. - often its a matter of preference and a company has the right to produce a product that their customers want.

      ​@@AndyShortall-b4r Students deserve a competent teacher. I quit the ESL industry two years ago, and I am astonished that this native speaker preconception is still going on--a philosophy that actively undermines non-native speakers and skilled teachers alike. I have encountered a concerning number of students who have bought this "conversation with a native is the way to go" philosophy and it shows, especially in language certification exams. And the problem there extends beyond just grammar (the alleged "weak spot" of native speakers), but also includes vocabulary range and overall oral proficiency.
      As for the "if a company hires people with a Bacherlor's degree, is that shameful?" point, it wouldn't. Companies have the rights to outline their preferred requirements for applicants and employees. However, there is a significant distinction between differentiating candidates based on degrees and qualifications, which are earned through effort and dedication, and doing so based on where the applicant is born-an inherent and unalterable characteristic. Nativity is not something people get to control or choose, and selecting candidates on this basis denies opportunities to qualified individuals who have refined their skills through education and experience.
      Having said that, thank you OnlineTeacherDure for your services. You have helped me massively in my teaching days.

      Why do you think you can tell a company who they can hire? They get to decide their minimum requirements. If you do not like this job move on, get over it. So tired of this entitled attitude, maybe teach your first language to get an advantage?

      Hi, it would be better if you detailed why and your experiences, rather than just saying it sucks. There are happy teachers there so your comment doesn't really help anyone when you don't explain why. Thanks.
