Hey friends!  I said I would keep you updated and I am keeping that promise... We just got an update and now VIPKid is losing weekends and holidays! Tune in! ⭐

Oh, the uncertainty is just madness, am I right? China has done a number on us online ESL teachers. I am wanting to share new things I hear as I hear different pieces of this crazy rollercoaster of a puzzle.  All countries are different, but did you know China has a social credit system? It's much like the show- The Good Place. But it's actually real and certain aspects of your daily life can be decided purely based on your social credit score. This makes more think that teaching your sweet Chinese kiddos privately may not be a great idea in the long run...  But listen in for the whole lowdown on what's new in this interesting world of digital ESL teaching. ⭐

Hey Online Teacher Friends! I know right now is a scary time for all of us, and we are all wondering the same thing...What is happening right now with China and the companies? I will try to keep you as updated as possible, as I know this is a very important issues. VIPKid has been my home since February 2018 and my main company, and they have recently come out with new vital information that I will talk about here, as well as mentioning what's happening with Gogokid, Whales English, and Magic Ears. Things are getting intense! But towards the mid-end of this, I give some other options with online teaching for companies not affected by the China ban. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel! We've got this, we need to stay strong! ⭐

Ciao everyone!  I am super stoked as this literally happened seconds ago from the time I am posting this and it's so rare and exciting that I knew I just had to share with you all! Like me, you probably have heard of the legend of the unicorn classes. These are classes booked short notice and then suddenly they cancel it right away or anytime before class happens. IT HAPPENED to me TODAY! Finally! It was about 3.5 years in the making! But it happened! ⭐

Hey friends and Awesome listeners!

Any tips or do you live abroad too?  ⭐

Part 4 is has 3 tips within it, so you get BONUS material in this one! Four is my favorite number, so I think it was just something I had to do! But anyways, here, you'll hear all about getting certified in anything you can if your company has the option to do so, as well as teaching both kids and adults (again if your company offers this), and having lessons that are purely geared towards conversation.  I would love to know what has worked for you! ⭐

Part 3 is how having a consistent teaching schedule is best and also a tidbit on popular booking times... the combination of these will help boost a better schedule and with time, you will hopefully have bookings galore!I would love to know what has worked for you!⭐

Do you ever find yourself in a class with fewer learners than expected? What do you do when this happens? It happens unfortunately.

I am happy to share these tips with you and hope you find them helpful! Here are 3 Tips for Outschool Class Time Fillers... Enjoy! ⭐

As online teaches, it's natural to get class cancellations here and there. You get an onslaught of them during your student's holidays (typically times like Chinese New Year - in January or February depending on the year). ✨link✨in✨bio✨ Know that this is totally normal and you rock!

I love visuals, so to go along with this episode, here is an infographic I created about Bloom's Taxonomy with all of this awesome info! https://bit.ly/gypsysoulbloomstaxonomy This week's episode is all about using Bloom's Taxonomy to revamp your Outschool lessons or lessons in general, if you work for a company or school and are planning all of your lessons. This is so beneficial and it certainly helps to add and gain clarity for your lessons and what your specific outcomes and expectations are. With Outschool, you can use Bloom's Taxonomy power verbs in your:  1. Summary  2. Course Description 3. Learning Goals (though this section is entirely optional, you don't have to complete this section.) The 6 main areas of Bloom's Taxonomy are: 1. Knowledge (power verbs: copy, define, identify, outline, locate, choose, distinguish, repeat, show, and record) ~Questions:~ Can you list (#) _____? / Which one ____? / How would you explain_____? Why did that happen?  2. Understand (power verbs: explain, retell, discuss, interpret, conclude, summarize, classify, infer, and expand on) ~Questions:~ Can you summarize____? / What's the main idea? Can you state that in your own words? 3. Apply (power verbs: interview, present, illustrate, calculate, solve, experiment, and determine) ~Questions:~ How can you show your understanding? / How can you apply what you've learned.  4. Analyze (power verbs: organize, sequence, determine, examine, debate, compare, contrast, and mind map) ~Questions:~ Why do you think___? / How are ___ and ____ related? /  How are you able to classify ____?  5. Evaluate (power verbs: check, assess, conclude, reflect, hypothesize, role-play, revise, and critique) ~Questions:~ How would you change ____? / How can ___ be improved? / How can this be adapted to make it different? / If you could ___, what would you do?  6. Create (power verbs: imagine, invent, design, construct, plan, and compose) ~Questions:~ What can you recommend? In what way can you determine ____? What is your opinion of ____?
