Conference FAQs
💬 The live conference already happened from December 12 - 14. Can I still sign up, even though those dates have passed?
Yes! Even though you’ve missed the live event, the recordings of all conference sessions are still available online through Monday, January 12th. Once you purchase your premium access ticket, you’ll be immediately directed to the conference platform, where you’ll find all of the recorded presentations. Feel free to watch them all in order or skip around and prioritize what’s most interesting to you.
💬 I’m not in Eastern US time. What time is the conference in my country/ city?
You can use this time zone converter to check the local time where you are, or simply Google a different time zone converter if you prefer.
**If you’re watching the recordings, there’s no need to worry about time zones - you can watch all sessions on demand, whenever you want.
💬 Will I get a certificate of attendance?
No. Due to the number of participants, I am not able to offer personalized certificates of attendance. And honestly, this conference is all about Online TEFLpreneurship - in other words, going freelance and working for yourself! So the big takeaway from this event is what you’ll learn about starting your OWN teaching business - not a piece of paper to show an employer.
💬 How do I get the Zoom links for the conference sessions?
Now that the live event has concluded, there’s no need to worry about live Zoom links. You’ll be able to watch the conference replays simply by clicking on the videos inside the conference platform.
💬 Can I get a refund for my premium access ticket if my schedule changes and I can’t attend live or watch the replays in time?
No. Due to the virtual nature of this event, refunds are not available. That’s also why all of the recorded sessions are available through January 12 - so you have plenty of time to watch the replays before your premium access expires.
💬 Is this worth my time and money?
This conference is designed to help you take the leap into freelance online teaching. So if you’re ready to take your online teaching career to the next level, then the answer is yes!
Are you hoping to get inspired by teachers just like you who built thriving online businesses? Do you want to learn more about becoming a successful freelance online English teacher - including how to market your lessons, find more students, earn a higher income, design your own courses, and create your own ELT resources? If the answer is yes, then I think you’ll absolutely love this conference.
💬 I’m not sure I’m interested in freelancing or starting my own online teaching business. Should I still attend?
Why not? At only $17, a premium access ticket is a low-risk way to see if starting your own freelance teaching business is a good fit for you. You’ll walk away with a much better understanding of what it takes to jump start your online teaching career.
And with 20 sessions to watch on demand, you’ll have plenty of topics and options to choose from. Feel free to watch them all or just choose the sessions that most interest you.
💬 With a free general admission ticket, can I still watch the replays/ get access to the recordings?
No. With general admission, you can choose which sessions to attend live, but you will not have access to the replays afterwards.
💬 But there are two live sessions happening in each time slot! So with general admission, I’ll have to miss one…?
Yes, unfortunately that means you’ll need to choose which of the two sessions to see live. The best way to enjoy all the sessions is to upgrade to a premium access ticket.
💬 Why is there a charge for premium access? Can’t the replays be available for free?
Charging a small amount for premium access helps to cover the significant time and effort it takes to organize and run this event. Most 3-day, international events in our industry have a significantly higher ticket price. I did my best to make this event as accessible as possible, while still offering the highest possible value.
💬 What if I sign up with general admission and then decide later that I want access to the recordings?
No problem! Just return to the ticket page and purchase a premium access ticket. You’ll instantly unlock access to the conference platform, which includes the recordings. You’ll have access to these from the time you purchase premium access until Monday, January 12th.
💬 Why do the premium access replays expire after a month?
This conference is intended to be a live event, not a self-study course. If you’re looking for ongoing, on-demand training about how to go freelance, then you’re a great candidate for my Online TEFLpreneur program!
💬 Will I be on camera?
No need to dress up; the live event has concluded, so you’ll just be watching the recorded sessions.
💬 Will I be able to interact live with the presenters and the other participants?
The sessions are pre-recorded, now that the live event has ended. So you won’t be watching anything live.
With your premium access ticket, you’ll be able to engage with presenters and participants by posting on the conference platform.
💬 How is this conference different from TEFL Horizons’ usual webinar series?
This is a full weekend virtual event that’s bringing teachers and industry experts from around the world together! You’ll hear from a whole variety of successful TEFLpreneurs; not just me.
