Erin, This video is very informative! Thanks for all the tips and suggestions on how to prepare for the demo/interview process. I know that I've been stuck in the demo part before, but I sure do plan on completing what's needed in order to succeed during this process.
Hi Erin, I'm just at the demo lesson stage. This is great information! You mentioned a road map and also where you can put your qualifications/experience. Can you clarify that for me please. I was wondering about how to share my information about that. Thanks a lot! Patti
I just watched your video and let my children pay to learn VIP KID. I found that I couldn't make an appointment with you. I was disappointed. Could you give my children a lesson? Now it's level 1.
Okay, so I had technical difficulties at first and Did not realize there was a timer so I freaked out then it looked as if there were only ten seconds left. and I freaked out... So I apologized and said take 2! and kept on recording from the start. without looking at my notes and without using so many prompts. I also took it on my pace... What was difficult was switching from prompt to prompt without looking foolish. lol thanks for the video! Oh I had done it live first and I feel it was almost there but I did not have the fancy background and camera placements. I went off the sample video they provided. So, the interviewer offers me the option to do it again because I had potential she said. So I have been working on it for a few hours. lol. Your video was the most helpful

Hello, I just completed my 120 hour TESOL certification. I would like to give VipKids a try. You are very open and honest about your experience. Please advise what’s my next step? I have a Bachelors degree as well, but no teaching classroom experience. I would love to get your advise. Thank you.

Hi Erin! I applied last summer and decided but then decided to hold off. I am ready to continue with the process now, but I have since earned another year of teaching experience, esol training, and more professional development through my work as a full time public school teacher. Am I able to go back and add this to my basic info? I want to make sure this is considered in the hiring process but I'm not sure if I can update it somewhere. Would you recommend just starting over with a new application? Thanks!
Hello! I have a question I am hoping you can answer! I am teaching a UA tomorrow (Assessment 1 Lesson 6) and something I am confused about is if I am supposed to go over the final project slides. Slide #41 says Goodbye but then after that there are Final project slides (#42-45). Is that just for the students to look over on their own terms or do I review that with them? Thanks for your channel it is so helpful!!

Thank you so much for making these videos. I have a strange question. I'm considering applying, but I'm totally blind. Props, letters, faces, etc. won't be a problem because those can be brailled or otherwise made tactile. The only thing I'm worried about is circling on the screen and seeing the students' gesturing. How important would you say these things are, and do you think it would be acceptable for me to either not circle things, or find another way of communicating different parts of sentences like with magnetic letters? I will not be able to draw/write on the screen or a whiteboard.
I'm not the one who made this video, however, you could get an assistant. Make sure the person is not on the camera, but they can hold the mouse to draw and circle things. They can also tap you whenever the student has gestured correctly. You could pay them a little something. Just a suggestion :-)
Hi Erin, I recently failed my demo! That was pretty surprising, because I taught ESL for 4 years! Do I need a referral to apply? I want to apply again but I want to be better prepared this time.
Same thing happened to me, after teaching Esl for nearly 4 years. I feel that I learned different strategies with my last company, that were hard to let go of, in my demo lesson. I was also surprised by the feedback I got. I tried to do exactly what the example suggested and added a few things. Yet, they said they wanted more, than what the example video gave me, to go off of. They also didn’t appreciate some the humor I implemented.

Have done so many interviews...panic sets in out of fear of being inadequate using online portal (and have had very irritated interviewers from 2 other companies) by having to concentrate on familiarizing myself with the portal instead of on teaching.. so some I cancel, and others I work on for days, only to panic....how do others do it? I have a VIPKID interview soon...am I alone in my panic?I find it terrifying..
It’s definitely scary for everyone at first! You are definitely not alone. You may benefit from getting more onsite from others in our Facebook group, VIPKid Hiring Q & A facebook.com/groups/vipkidQA/

Hey Teach! I originally applied but lost interest after failing the demo (I was nervous- totally my fault), and yes I used your referral code. Today I received a call from a woman who was with VIPKid and encouraged me to do the demo again because they were impressed with my background and education. Is that legit? Do they really do that? It seemed sus. 👀

Hi Erin, I applied months ago but because I moved twice since then I put off my demo. One of my past emails said I could do an express demo which was only to be 3 minutes. Have they quit offering the 3 minute demos?
Is that the 5 minute video? Also, should I practice my demo before I download the app code that pops up in my portal? I'm not sure if they expect me to do my interview and demo right after I download that app. @@DreamyVibeDesigns
No it’s not a 5 minute video. Please watch the video on my channel to answer all your questions. If you’re looking for actual mentoring through the hiring process you can review the instructions to add me as your referring teacher here: www.myvipkidjourney.com/teacher-erin-referral-info
Is VIPKid currently hiring? I have a BA, four years of experience in education, and a TEFL certificate, and got a rejection email from them today (I didn't get to any kind of interview process, I just answered a couple of questions and received a rejection email)...I've watched all of your videos and tried to use the link you provided to sign up. Are they still hiring? Is a BA still enough these days? İ'd appreciate any response. I really want to teach with VIPKid and have you as my mentor!
Most likely you just accidentally filled something out incorrectly! Go ahead and review this page and reapply with a new email. www.myvipkidjourney.com/apply :)
Nope! VIPKid has their very own TESOL certificate you can get during the hiring process. You can read more about the requirements here: www.myvipkidjourney.com/vipkid-teacher-requirements
Hi Erin! I am in the process of doing my smart demo. I think I was able to add you using your referral link, but I haven't heard anything. Is there a way that you can let me know if I did this correctly? Thank you! :)
I wanna use your referral link because you seem like an amazing teacher and I love to travel as well so I think we would be an amazing match, but I wanna make sure you are still working for VIP Kid.

Hi Erin! First off, you're Super awesome and your videos have been really helpful. I'm scheduled for my "demo lesson" next week and I'm just wondering if I should already invest in a headset and props for the demo or if I can do the demo lesson without at least the headset?
You will definitely NEED a headset to do your demo. You also won't pass if you don't have any props during the demo: th-cam.com/video/4CnxUYFZaI4/w-d-xo.html
Hello teacher Erin! First off I used you as my referral because your awesome, thank you for that. I’m having a hard time starting my smart demo. I would like to use the smart demo and it has the material and introduction, am I copying the material exactly or is the material just informing me how I will do the smart demo? Also is there something on the screen that is shown while I’m doing my smart demo? In one of your other videos you mentioned that the background does not matter for the smart demo, but this is an update video, does all of this apply to the smart demo? I’ve gone through your road map and now I’m going through your videos to help me get a visual.
Yes you will need a classroom background to get hired, but it does not have to be super fancy. :) I’d love to help you out through the hiring process!

Hi Erin! I just subscribed and love your great info:) I am in the process of applying etc. I had one question. A far as lessons, do you teach back to back 25 min lessons? I am currently a teacher and want to have an idea if this will work for me. I am hoping that is what most people do because it makes it much more time efficient. Thank you! Darci
When I fish started teaching I thought 8 back to back classes every morning and sometimes 4 in the evening too. Now I other things that take up a lot of my time and I only teach a few classes here and there a week.

I was wondering about this as well. I am considering VIPKids and had been following some of your videos in preparation. Then realized you didn't have current info. Are you still with the company?

Best demo of lesson I have ever come across. you are very expressive. you are the Best.
I didn't pass mine because I didnt give enough speaking time to the non-present person lol - great system I must say.
Hi Erin I really like the way you teach the kids.

Hi Erin! Do they only hire native english speaker or is it necessary to have american accent?
Such good information. Thank you.
Excellent video. Question is can you use a bigger screen than what they give you?
I'm not sure what you are asking? VIPKid does not provide you with any sort of equipment or computer screen.
can I ask how you do your lighting ?? I find that my eyes get worn out teaching and need smarter lighting rig
Everything I use, including my current lighting, is on this page: youresljourney.com/vipkid-classroom-essentials

Hey Teach! I originally applied but lost interest after failing the demo (I was nervous- totally my fault), and yes I used your referral code. Today I received a call from a woman who was with VIPKid and encouraged me to do the demo again because they were impressed with my background and education. Is that legit? Do they really do that? It seemed sus. 👀
Sometimes they will invite you to try again or you can reapply with a new email!

Hi Erin, I applied months ago but because I moved twice since then I put off my demo. One of my past emails said I could do an express demo which was only to be 3 minutes. Have they quit offering the 3 minute demos?
The express demo was replaced with the Smart Demo done on your phone through the VIPKid app. I have a video about it on my channel
Is that the 5 minute video? Also, should I practice my demo before I download the app code that pops up in my portal? I'm not sure if they expect me to do my interview and demo right after I download that app. @@DreamyVibeDesigns
No it’s not a 5 minute video. Please watch the video on my channel to answer all your questions. If you’re looking for actual mentoring through the hiring process you can review the instructions to add me as your referring teacher here: www.myvipkidjourney.com/teacher-erin-referral-info
Is VIPKid currently hiring? I have a BA, four years of experience in education, and a TEFL certificate, and got a rejection email from them today (I didn't get to any kind of interview process, I just answered a couple of questions and received a rejection email)...I've watched all of your videos and tried to use the link you provided to sign up. Are they still hiring? Is a BA still enough these days? İ'd appreciate any response. I really want to teach with VIPKid and have you as my mentor!
Most likely you just accidentally filled something out incorrectly! Go ahead and review this page and reapply with a new email. www.myvipkidjourney.com/apply :)
hi ,just want to ask ? is it TEFL certificate is needed also?
Nope! VIPKid has their very own TESOL certificate you can get during the hiring process. You can read more about the requirements here: www.myvipkidjourney.com/vipkid-teacher-requirements
Hi Erin! I am in the process of doing my smart demo. I think I was able to add you using your referral link, but I haven't heard anything. Is there a way that you can let me know if I did this correctly? Thank you! :)
Go ahead and shoot me a message so I can check for you: www.myvipkidjourney.com/contact :)
I wanna use your referral link because you seem like an amazing teacher and I love to travel as well so I think we would be an amazing match, but I wanna make sure you are still working for VIP Kid.

Hi Erin! First off, you're Super awesome and your videos have been really helpful. I'm scheduled for my "demo lesson" next week and I'm just wondering if I should already invest in a headset and props for the demo or if I can do the demo lesson without at least the headset?
You will definitely NEED a headset to do your demo. You also won't pass if you don't have any props during the demo: th-cam.com/video/4CnxUYFZaI4/w-d-xo.html
Hello teacher Erin! First off I used you as my referral because your awesome, thank you for that. I’m having a hard time starting my smart demo. I would like to use the smart demo and it has the material and introduction, am I copying the material exactly or is the material just informing me how I will do the smart demo? Also is there something on the screen that is shown while I’m doing my smart demo? In one of your other videos you mentioned that the background does not matter for the smart demo, but this is an update video, does all of this apply to the smart demo? I’ve gone through your road map and now I’m going through your videos to help me get a visual.
Go ahead and shoot me an email so I can better assist you as one of my referral! :) www.myvipkidjourney.com/contact
Do
I have to have a classroom background ?
Yes you will need a classroom background to get hired, but it does not have to be super fancy. :) I’d love to help you out through the hiring process!

How difficult is it for your schedule to filled?
This depends on a lot of factors, including how much availability you have! I’d love to help you out through the hiring process!

Do you create all your own PowerPoints and lesson plans or are they created and provided by VIP?
The lessons and PowerPoints are provided by VIPKid www.myvipkidjourney.com/about-vipkid
my name is pretty complicated should I use a more simplified name during lessons

Hi Erin!
I just subscribed and love your great info:) I am in the process of applying etc. I had one question. A far as lessons, do you teach back to back 25 min lessons? I am currently a teacher and want to have an idea if this will work for me. I am hoping that is what most people do because it makes it much more time efficient.
Thank you!
Darci
When I fish started teaching I thought 8 back to back classes every morning and sometimes 4 in the evening too. Now I other things that take up a lot of my time and I only teach a few classes here and there a week.
If I am in demo stage is there a way to add you as a referral?

Thanks for making this video with all the tips and showing us how we can do it. I have a question Erin, what headset would you recommend having?
You can see everything I use here: www.myvipkidjourney.com/vipkid-technology-requirments
Do you find they have any idea what you are saying when you are saying "see you next time" "you got a goal" or things like that , if they don't know english....or does it even matter
I am pretty good at using TPR and props to convey meaning even if they don't necessarily know the vocabulary yet.

Still here! I am actually in the process of planning my wedding. Come check out my instagram for more recent updates: @vipkid.teacher.erin ! :)
I was wondering about this as well. I am considering VIPKids and had been following some of your videos in preparation. Then realized you didn't have current info. Are you still with the company? If not, why? I even started wondering if the company took over your account so as not to loose your brand!?
