FAQs

Does this course prepare me to teach children online?

Yes, this course prepares you for teaching children on independent teaching sites such as Verbling where you will have to compile your own learning materials for classes.  When teaching contractually on websites that only deal with children, you are generally provided material to teach within a set curriculum by those websites. This course does provide a list of all the top-paying websites for teaching children online. Remember, this is not a TEFL or TESOL course and does not cover every learning approach that all the 600+ different online schools offer.

Am I guaranteed a job if I take this course?

If you have a teaching qualification or TEFL, TESOL or CELTA certificate, you are fully proficient in spoken and written English, you follow all the steps provided in this course and you do not make any spelling or punctuation errors in your applications to online teaching websites, you will be accepted in online teaching websites.

Do online teaching platforms accept South African teachers?

They sure do. There are many online English teaching websites which accept South African teachers. Your instructor Rebecca is South African and primarily used Verbling which accepts all nationalities. There are, however, some websites which do not accept South African teachers based on the fact that only 7% of South Africans are native English speakers. We are working on advocating against such websites as we believe that it is discriminatory to not accept applications for work based on their nationality. Regardless, there are many fantastic websites which accept South African teachers. This course will point you in the right direction regarding the highest-paying sites for South African teachers. We do not encourage teachers to sign up on websites which pay teachers less than $12 per hour and believe this is exploitation.
