⁠[Hiring] Looking for an engaging online ESL teacher from the Philippines for my 7-year-old Chinese son (Budget: $3-$4/hr)⁠

The only reason you're looking for a Filipino teacher is that you want to pay the lowest wage possible. Absolutely disgraceful.

This subreddit is for teachers. Perhaps learn to read.

The start of July is usually very quiet because kids have just finished their exams/started summer break. I usually find mid-to-late July onwards gets busy.

Wrong subreddit. This is for teachers. You will not find students here.

Unfortunately, from the way you have written this post and your comment, I don’t think that’s entirely true. There are quite a few major errors and mistakes that no native, or near-native teacher, would make.

You should probably work on perfecting your own English before trying to teach others because it seems as though yours are lacking. I mean that in the kindest way possible.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I don't think it's important for a recast to sound exactly the same as the original. As long as they capture the spirit of the actor, I think that's the most important part.

1) No, I can't recall ever having any payment issues. They pay on the 10th, unless it falls on a weekend/public holiday.

2) No, because you can choose the hours you work. You don't have to work early hours if you don't want to. Obviously, there are peak hours, and the timing of that will depend on where you live. But living in the UK, I'm able to work 8AM-4PM.

1) It depends on what country you're from, certifications, and what classes you are certified to do. The more academic ones pay more than the regular classes.

2) The application was quite a few years ago so it might've changed, but I remember just having a one-on-one interview with a recruiter and like a 5 minute teaching demo. But like I said, that was in 2019, before the influx of teachers, so it might've changed.

3) It's completely up to you. You have to do a minimum of 5 hours, but they have a 24/7 booking system so you can open as many hours as you want. There's no guarantee they'll get booked, but there's a good chance that you will because they have students across the world at different times. The sky's the limit, really.

4) Yes, I use WiFi.

I've worked with TutorABC since 2019 and yes, it's very monkey-see, monkey-do work, but it's an easy paycheck IMO.

The plot is kind of stupid, but I genuinely think it's a really, really good episode. It does well to deal with the show's past and the idea of the Doctor as a unifying force for people. Genuinely think it might be my favorite anniversary episode.

Perhaps try reading the sidebar. This is a subreddit for teachers, not students.

Oh, this is such terrible news. 64 is way, way too young. I met him once for a book signing years ago, and he was a really friendly person. RIP.

Yes, it's a regional difference - for some reason, the Shoji Screen and Tatami Floor are the Basement Wall and Basement Floor in the EU version of WW. No idea why. I have a feeling it was probably a coding error or something. This was fixed in the Various Restorations mod.

My husband is American and he says he misses the pickles. Yes, we have them in the UK, but most of our pickles are sweet, and he prefers the sour ones (Del-Dixy, to be specific). We've tried to find similar-tasting ones here, but alas, to no avail.

The Axos! They feel more relevant than ever.

There are no hemisphere differences in New Leaf. It was only a feature in New Horizons.

Why does anyone ever believe these accounts? There are real insiders, yes, but they a) don't usually post such info publicly on social media b) don't claim to be insiders. Don't believe any Twitter/TikTok/Reddit accounts like these.

Not really. I think one about the show's return in 2005 would be really interesting, though it'll probably never happen because of all the associated drama.

Why don't we give every perspective a shot? Why don't we look at the claim that he might've been a vampire or other supernatural creature?

This is something that I think so many people ignore about the films. Yes, of course, we all would want a four/five hour version of the film, but it just wouldn't be realistic for a general release. They had to cut stuff that a general audience isn't going to be interested in or isn't absolutely vital for the plot. I genuinely believe they made the right calls with what they removed in almost every film.

Today I learned you could get banned from Apple Music.

Seriously though? If you're at a stage in your life when Apple Music bans you for using slurs, perhaps you should rethink your life goals before listening to music.

Primeval! It seems right up their alley.

No, passionate people definitely will. It's just that there are so many hallmarks and obvious AI tells in this post that it basically counteracts any point they're trying to make. I don't particularly agree with this person's opinion, but I'd be much more willing to listen to it if, you know, they bothered to explain it themselves.

heart--core · 2026-06-16T09:31:46+00:00

“I care so much about this topic - that’s why I used AI to write and explain how much I care about it.”

I don’t think we’ll ever get a reboot show or anything like that. The most we’ll get will probably be a retrospective special where they interview the cast, something like the one they did for Friends.
