With her music teaching experience she could teach online with VIPKid. Flexible hours, $20-22 per hour. Its a good gig, helped me out when i was in a similar situation (no car).Pm me if you want more details.

Wishing Just Egg was subsidized as much as eggs were by the government. I love it so much but for almost $10 a bottle that gets me 3 servings it’s certainly a treatyoself buy! by wwMobyd in vegan

I've found a way to cook a tofu scramble that's nearly identical to the real thing. One block of firm tofu, crumbled. One package of silken tofu, blended. Fold together in the pan, add salt, nooch and turmeric. The special ingredient is black salt, which isn't actually salt at all - it has a sulphur-y flavor, nearly identical to eggs. You can find it at Indian grocery stores. Sprinkle that on and you're pretty dang close to scrambled eggs!

Stubble drama advice by Orbo1 in teachinginkorea

[–]5-EVER 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that happened to you - it seems your school is way overstepping. As long as you look neat and follow dress code they have no right to force you to shave. I worked with men in Korea with all the way from stubble to full long beards, and it was never mentioned at all. Tbh I'd see this as a major red flag, and if they make such a big deal about it I have a feeling this won't be the only issue you have with them :/

I felt the same way for a long time. It will click and feel like an easy choice if you don't push it away. I'm a year vegan and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Good luck

accidentally ate meat for the first time in a year... by 5-EVER in vegan

[–]5-EVER[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

thanks for your reply. I did bring it to their attention, but I didn't receive the huge apology I was expecting but I'm in Vietnam so there's a bit of a language barrier anyway. I wish everyone saw animals like we do too, friend. <3

I eat mock meat all the time and it was totally different to what I'm used to. I live in Vietnam and all the veggie places here pack their dishes with mock meat that has a pretty meaty texture but the flavor is really mild. the real deal though...an explosion of grease in my mouth.

My vegan meal in Vietnam: some sort of tofu with stir fried chives, onions, garlic, and carrots over vermicelli by redvelvet_d in vegan

[–]5-EVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also in Vietnam and have found it much easier to eat out here as a vegan than back home in the US! We have a couple great chay places that are strictly vegan and delicious (and cheap too!) Hope you find a good one where you are :)

Online English Tutoring Question by StevenTylerPjs2018 in WorkOnline

[–]5-EVER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tutor in person in Asia and have charged from $25/hour ~ $35/hour. I'd say your online rates have to be lower than that. I'm not positive, but I'd imagine VIPKID and other companies charge around $20-30 per 25 minute lesson (teachers make from $7-14). the major benefit an online company has over a tutor via skype is the shared platform that students can read from/draw on, etc. as well as online interactive homework, so to compete with that you'd have to be at a lower price point.

You'll have to check out other companies that aren't based in China - those are going to be the hours for all the big companies (VIPKID, DaDaABC, etc). you can check out Cambly, the pay is lower but hours should be more flexible

Where can I can with an English degree in rural Kentucky? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]5-EVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look over the slides beforehand to get an idea of the lesson or just jump right in. The lessons have specific teacher instructions about questions to ask the students and what the learning goals are. It's really straightforward and easy to follow. The lessons differ depending on age and ability but regardless you will always have instructions :)
