Hello everyone! Today I'm going to tell you about an app I've been using called PalFish.
It's an awesome app for teaching Chinese students English and it's totally legit.
I've just finished my first full month of teaching on it where I've had my schedule open everyday from 6pm to 10pm Beijing time and it was a really successful first month! I had 2 to 6 classes a day (each class is 25 minutes).
As you can see from the picture I already have 44 classes booked for the next few weeks. Students can book two hours before class time at the earliest and they can book you at any time your schedule is open so I will get more each day!
It really is an awesome app, in the first full month I made 5600 Rmb which is roughly 550 English pounds. But I was only working an hour or two a day. I expect to make 8 to 10000 rmb this month which is decent for the time you put in!
Every class gives you 5 points and there are different levels. You start on level one and can go as high as level 5. You can see on the picture each level puts your salary up by 5 rmb (per 25 minute class) so in my first month I was making 55 rmb each 25 minute class but because I reached level 2 last month, I'm now making 60 rmb per class! I will definitely make it to level three this month as I'm getting busier and busier so next month I will be making 65 rmb per 25 minute class!
It also lets you do live show where you can do anything from talking about what you've been up to, to teaching something. You can choose to either do it for free or sell it to students for any price you like. I will usually do them for free as a way to advertise myself!
it also has a social media aspect where you can follow, like or comment on students, teachers or potential students posts. Students also post homework there so it give you the chance to comment on their homework and potentially find new students.
There is also an instant message part where you are assigned in to teacher groups when you join and all the teachers help each other out and answer any questions you have! You can also communicate with parents there.
This is what having a class is like on the app. You don't have to prepare much at all as you just go through the slides!
For Chinese people reading this who are interested in joining the app, you can scan the QR code in the picture and I'll get a bonus! For people interested in teaching on the app you can type in the bonus code '8jwqQn'
If you have any questions, please ask! :D
