Introducing BuzzKid | Teenagers get paid to teach English to Chinese kids
So, hello everyone once again. I made a post a few weeks ago asking about who would like to be part of this new company BuzzKid. Before you continue reading, this teaching opportunity is only for teenagers. If you are over 18, don't try to sign up.
WHAT IS BUZZKID?
So, according to their site, BuzzKID's vision is to build an online community that is “of kids, by kids, and for kids”. On BuzzKID, youth around the world can safely connect and easily collaborate on educational projects with peer learning as the centric theme. Young people around the world struggle learning foreign languages in the classroom, because they lack an authentic language acquisition environment. BuzzKID matches English-speaking youth with Chinese youth to discuss topics that are interesting and relevant to their daily lives in 25-minute video chats. Youth around the world can now learn foreign languages and authentic foreign cultures through the lens of their peers.
WHO CAN JOIN BUZZKID?
As I mentioned above, BuzzKid is looking for TEENAGERS only. Also you need to be fluent enough in English, so that you have the confidence to teach English to a child. So yes I know this is boring stuff so let's get down to the payment, sign up process, and my experience part.
HOW MUCH DO YOU GET PAID?
You get paid 30 Yuan (RMB) per session, which is equaled to around 4 dollars, so hourly it's around 8 dollars. Each session lasts around 25 minutes. You can get paid through PayPal, Bank Transfer or Gift Cards
WHAT IS THE SIGN UP PROCESS?
To sign up, you need to go to their website (I'll leave the links below) and put your phone number. You will get a verification code through a text message. After you log into your account, you will see that you have some training slides. You will need to read them carefully because you need to do a 1 hour interview. If you pass the interview, you can now teach on BuzzKid.
HOW ARE THE SESSIONS DONE?
As you will see on the training, the sessions are done through the Zoom app. You will also need a microphone and a webcam. You will be given all the teaching material, you just need to get your student engaged. You can get sessions by setting your availability and BuzzKid will do the rest. Hottest hours are 6-9pm on weekdays and 9-12 am and 6-9pm on weekends Beijing time.
MY EXPERIENCE AND POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES ABOUT BUZZKID
So I found out about BuzzKid through r/WorkOnline. I signed up, did the interview and I started having sessions. I started one month ago and I already have 37 sessions under my belt. I have to say that this is the first company that allows such a thing (teenagers getting paid to teach English online). You can have as many lessons as you want. For us, you also get some teaching experience to have on your resume. Now, the pay is not that great compared to other companies like VIPKid or even Palfish, but those companies are for native speakers only, while if you are not a native speaker but you can speak English really well, you can join BuzzKid. Also, the timezone differences isn't a huge problem for me (living in GMT+3 and China is GMT+8) but for some of you it might be kinda difficult to get sessions in hot hours.
