SayABC - Why I LOVE it.

Seriously - SayABC is my bread and butter!


Here's a few reasons why I love it!




  1. The kids! SayABC was my first experience with online teaching. I have 4 homerooms each with 4 kids and they are ALL great! Some are a little shy or harder to make laugh (always my goal) but they are ALL so focussed. 
  2. The parents! Most of the parents are very supportive! If a child is having a hard time understanding the content (or me) they will always be on hand to help out. 
  3. Homerooms are great! I know my students very well (Which can happen with other companies too) but the benefit of homerooms is that I have access to the entire unit! I can see what's coming up - plan ahead - I know where we are going and where we've been!
  4. The Portal! It's SO easy to use the SayABC platform. You can log on and see feedback and which student gave it to you. You can see exactly how and what you've been paid. You can easily access the schedule to check your availability and updates, AND there is an academy where you can learn new things.
  5. The communication- SayABC is always easy to get in touch with, if you have an IT issue or a scheduling issue they are always on hand. I've found them VERY helpful. They also put out a weekly newsletter which is great for keeping up to date on where the company is heading. 
  6. The PAY - ok this is pretty important, and from what I can see SayABC has one of the BEST pay rate's in the business! At $13-15USD per class + bonuses you can do very well in a month of teaching! (Especially if you're an Aussie).
Happy Teaching x

Palfish - How to pass the interview...

Image
Remember folks, if you just want to do freetalk with adults you don't need to do an interview.  However if you want to teach kids (I recommend it) then once you're verified, if you're looking to join the Official Kids Course,   you will need to do an interview. Here's how to pass it. Before we get to that though - here's a pro tip I wish I knew before I scheduled my interview. Once you pass (you'll hear in 48 hours) and you complete your quiz (you can do this many times to get the answers right - easy) You will need to wait up to 8 business hours 10am - 8:30pm BJT and then you will go 'official' - as SOON as this happens all of the slots you selected as available for the Official Kids Course when you signed up for interview will open on your schedule and can be booked. ONLY choose slots you CAN work! Also - those first 24-48 hours after you go 'official' will be when you will get the MOST pop-ups for classes! So here's my ti

Props!

Here's my top 5 topics for props you will use AGAIN and AGAIN no matter who you work for. 1) Food - Get yourself some fruit and veg, a pizza, a chicken, milk, meat and orange juice. Food is used a LOT in beginning English lessons. 2) School supplies - yep you heard right - pencil, pen, glue, scissors, book, crayon, marker - these supplies will get you through a number of lessons! 3) Animals - fish, monkey, elephant, giraffe, dog, cat. These will all give you value for money! I got the magnetic set from Melissa and Doug and it means I can use them for rewards too and stick them to my whiteboard when needed. Good investment! 4) Colours - I just got coloured paper and laminated small squares that I could hold up. Blue, pink, red, green, yellow and purple - To save time though if you buy coloured crayons (see above) you can just hold these up! Two birds, one stone! 5) Letter/Number cards - a pack of each from the dollar shop. These things come in handy ALL the time. I wo

Palfish - Pop-ups!

Image
When you first start out on Palfish, 'pop ups' are key! So what are they? and how do they work? Read on... Firstly let's be clear, Palfish is VERY addictive, you will need to be careful when you first start out to balance your time so as your family doesn't fear you've been lost to Palfish forever! More on that another day. One of the addictive features of Palfish is the 'Pop-ups'. Let's be honest... It's the thrill of the chase... Of the unknown... A Pop-Up is basically a notification of a last minute booking. The first two days after you become 'official' on Palfish , you will receive A LOT of Pop-up notifications. Then they will ease off for a while... As long as you stay below being 80% booked you can receive a pop-up- If you have notifications allowed (you definitely should) your phone will look like this when you are not in the app: When you click into the app you will be presented with a pop-up less
