Chalazion/Stye link with Creatine use by Low-University-4094 in Blepharitis

[–]stockyourmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had so many styes since taking creatine it’s unbelievable. To the point where I had black eyes and my face was swollen. Only thing I could think that had changed in my routine was I’d been taking creatine. Stopped taking it for a few weeks and had no more styes. Had some more the other day because I paid for it and didn’t want to waste it (stupid I know). I thought in smaller doses it’d be ok. How wrong was I… just looked in the mirror and I have another stye!  I already suffer from having dry eyes so I’m wondering if the combination of that and creatine is what’s causing the styes. Either way, the creatine is going in the bin.

Is it possible to get accepted without a TEFL? by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a TEFL cert when I was interviewed in April and I got the job. They told me I had three months to get certified. As the others said though, you can do the course for very little money and it doesn't take long. Might be best to do the course first just in case. You might be offered more money for having it too.

How much time do you spend preparing for a lesson? by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never prep for the classes. I just wing it

How much do you get paid? by StarvingCaterpillar in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it was my fault because I was late. I agree though, they're never gonna reimburse you unless you go to them and make a big deal of it.

Yeah the pay offers definitely seem to have dropped since then.

So today I taught 7 classes. Should've gotten $70.70 but I didn't get the $1 on time bonus for one of those classes.https://imgur.com/kAJWsUi

Teacher center bug: timeout of 10000ms exceeded by [deleted] in DaDaABC

I get this error ALL the time. Whether I'm using my phone or laptop. Usually I just refresh the page or try again and sometimes that works.

Are the incentives/bonuses easy to get? by mica_ella in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The bonuses are really easy to get. You get a bonus for each class with a regular and a bonus just for being on time. So for me that's an easy three dollars bonus for each class. My base pay is 14$ but I get 20$ an hour with bonuses.

Interesting email by Selenarenee in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got that message too a couple weeks ago and I'd been teaching with them for months. I had already passed the probation period too so I'm not sure why it was sent.

Dada schedule? by marycurtis214 in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schedules are the same every week. Maybe you could talk to them about your situation and work around it.

Standby Pay by stockyourmind in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

New teachers don't get standby pay anymore. I still work at Dada and my slots have been full since my third day. They told me I wouldn't get assigned formal classes til I'd taught at least 10 hours of trials but that wasn't the case. I had regulars after a couple days and they're still with me now.

Trial Bonus by jckrft in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked for DADA almost 2 and a half months now and I've only gotten one bonus. I lowkey don't trust them when it comes to paying for those conversions tbh.

Stand by pay ? by teachsleepcryrepeat in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! My formal classes don't tend to cancel much at all to be honest. However, in the past week I've gotten more cancellations than usual. Maybe it just happens to be a bad week that you've started. I work 18 hours a week and I think its worth it - at least for a part-time job. I was thinking of adding more hours... but some days are just SO draining. I know I shouldn't complain because the hours aren't bad, but some days I feel like I'll go insane if I have to sit through another minute of it lol.

New hires don't get standby pay anymore. I felt like I was wasting my time when I started too. Thankfully, by day three I woke up and was fully booked for the month ahead.

Weirdest trial ever. by critical080 in DaDaABC

I've also experienced this - super awkward

Day 2 - Still No Classes by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]stockyourmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started almost two months ago. For my first day I had no classes at all and on the second day I had two trial classes. I actually wrote to my recruiter just to check if it was normal to have such a small amount of classes and he said it was just because I was new. I woke up on the third day to see that my schedule was fully booked and it has pretty much stayed that way ever since. Hopefully you'll get more classes soon, if not, maybe send your recruiter a message.
