5 Reasons Why You Fail Your Native Camp Application | Watch This & BE A NATIVE CAMP TEACHER!

[@rochanndb27]

I passed my Demo Lesson last night with the first attempt! After watching you, I really made sure I went over all of your Trap Question videos and various other videos on YT to help me prepare, I watched and studied every video like 10 times to make sure I didn't miss a thing! 😅 When I finally felt ready I went on stand-by and waited at my desk for almost 2 hours! (again something you prepared me for), but that was the most nerve-wracking two hours 😄. FINALLY THE BELL WENT OFF! And I was lucky enough to get a really nice admin 🙂. The Demo was 3 minutes long! (I did the first word on the Words and Phrases section and she asked me one trap question about simple past and future tense). She ended the Demo and congratulated me on a good demo lesson. I immediately got a message that I passed!! So thank you Teacher Karen! I'm very excited for this journey!

Hello, please was it the Dementia one or white day article you got ? Also, please can you remember the name of your admin? Was it a he or she ? Please help

[@rochanndb27]

It was the White Day one and her name was May

[@chocobrown2082]

@@rochanndb27Thanks for your response. I had May too for my demo and White day but even though I pronounced the 1st word correctly, she still let me continue and didn’t give me a trap question like she did for you. Please which nationality are you and at what time did you go on standby ?

[@rochanndb27]

I am South African and I went on standby at 10pm, waited until everyone was asleep. Did you pass the demo?

[@chocobrown2082]

@@rochanndb27 No she asked me to retake saying she pronounced exchange as “ex-chAHnge” and I didn’t correct her. Of which she clearly did not make that mispronunciation. I paid close attention cuz I knew she can trap me with that

I love Matheo, he's so cute!! I'm about to apply soon, can't wait!!! My native language is Afrikaans, which is a simplified but much more effective Dutch, I live in South Africa, we have many indigenous languages but all learn English as a second language. I can also speak Spanish. Our English pronunciation is very neutral and clear. I love children. Thank you so much for your help to get us prepared for application, appreciate it!

[@noelleb.3643]

Hello Teacher Karen! I am usually very easily nervous when talking to strangers, and this anxiety is amplified during interviews. Learning about this ESL platform through your videos have helped me gain a bit more confidence in trying out for this. I watched this right before my demo, and my first "student" was the rather famous Mr. Francis. I was able to answer his pop-up questions, though my lightbulb chose the wrong time to suddenly go dim, so for that he asked me to retake (but he complimented my teaching, so WHEW). Had I not listened to your videos, maybe that could've gone worse hihihi. Thank you again Teacher Karen :)

[@TeachaKaren]

Happy to help! I'm glad that despite the anxiety, you were commended for your teaching style. Francis is one of the scariest admins out there due to his unpredictability and reputation.

[@Alfred1974wolf]

I would like to share my bad experience applying at Native Camp. I believe Native Camp demo teachers are doing their job. Except for this one guy, I will call him Francis. This dude never tried to turn on his camera, but we went on our first demo class nevertheless. On my first attempt in just two minutes he pointed out my mistakes so, I failed. On the second attempt, he called himself John, he too did not turn on his camera. He tried so desperately on changing his voice but I already knew that this guy is the same Francis dude of 10 minutes ago after the first demo. After making the adjustments per suggestions from "Francis" I asked, "Is my speaking pace too fast, or would you prefer I go slower?'" John answered, "It's ok." So I started the demo smiling and ready. In less than a minute he shouted, "STOP! STOP! STOP! You don't sound "energetic" I'm sorry but you failed the second demo." I asked, "Did I ask if my speaking pace was too fast, or would you prefer I go slower? And then you said that "It was ok."? He answered, "Yes, I did." Then I told him that If I did not sound "energetic" then he should have said so when I asked the question in the first place so that I could have adjusted so I could sound "energetic" for him. He mutes the audio right away! It was silent! I told him, in short, that he was "so unprofessional"! I'm just sharing my two cents here. Btw your baby is cute! Congratulations teacher Karen.

[@maeandrin-penaloza5560]

Hi teacher....I would like to ask ,during demo lesson.,is it normal that the interviewer doesn't turn on their can??

[@Alfred1974wolf]

@@maeandrin-penaloza5560 Try to imagine this, a demo is like an interview for a job. Because it is! And your interviewer doesn't want to turn on the camera. But your camera is on and the interviewer can see your face, what would you feel?

[@TeachaKaren]

Yes, that can happen since some of them are home-based.

[@TeachaKaren]

Alfredo, thanks for sharing this. I'm sure this would be quite helpful to aspiring applicants. I'm not sure though if "Francis" is just an alias you came up with, but there's actually a popular Francis in NC hahaha You know what, I've read so many comments about admin Francis. That's why I have 2 KZbin videos dedicated to how to respond to Admin Francis' trap questions LOL About your experience, that is definitely memorable for all the wrong reasons. I hope no one gets to experience that because it's insulting and rude. :( And btw, thanks for noticing my little bundle of joy hihi

[@lanyangg2670]

I think it was just part of the demo. He's maybe trying to check if how would you react and handle those kind of students or situation as a techer. This is just based on my own opinion teach.

[@jhancellegolosinda7548]

Hi Teacher Karen! I love your tips on getting into an ESL company, actually, I am a Public teacher but I want to explore more in teaching like in esl :D

[@raynaleysiason6006]

Hello Teacher Karen, I wanted to reapply again but because admin francis failed me a year ago, there's this lingering trauma that I had experience. I had a very bad experience with him, he wanted me to rush the demo and he won't even give me a chance to answer his question like he immediately calls for my mistake and ended the call. He is very rude and I hope I won't encounter him again if ever I'll continue with my re-application and your baby is sooo cute. Thank you so much for the helpful videos! :)

[@TeachaKaren]

The trauma is real! I wouldn't forget a rude person ever... but think of it this way, it's an opportunity for you to be better and to grow. Who knows? You get to have him as your admin again. This time, you'll show up ready. Don't forget to check out my 2 videos about admin Francis, I made 2 especially for him LOL

Hi ! I recently applied to native camp but my introduction video keeps getting rejected for inappropriate clothing. In my last video i was wearing a suit and a shirt 😞. I literally cannot understand why there is so much focus on clothing rather than the content of the video and the language skills.

Teacha Karen, hello! Adorable baby btw❤ I had the demo lesson with MAY at least she called herself that and she congratulated me on the perfect demo lesson and I passed this but the next day I got this message on my email: After consulting with other teachers we decided not to accept your application. It is not about your nationality but it has to do with the teaching. I am confused!

Hi! Teacha Karen, I just had my demo with Sir Francis and I failed. It was my second attempt and he didn't give me another chance. :( He said that altho my teaching style is good and was able to answer his question but I wasn't able to use the chat box efficiently. :( Still, I don't want to give up yet. Is it possible to re apply using different email within this week? or should I wait for 6 months to re apply?

@@sittiejohanisamama7486 goodluck dear hopefully they will respond, I think I still need to prepare so I will click that on Monday

[@TeachaKaren]

In my opinion, it's best to wait 6 months because they have a way of knowing that you already applied even when you use another email. In the end, you'd still have to use your real name and that will make it easy for them to view your application history :( so sorry you failed.

Hi Teacher Karen. I wanna ask some questions if by chance you have encountered something like this. I just checked my demo status and it says there "fail" but I also received an email an hour ago saying, "Thank you for choosing NativeCamp as one of the prospective companies you want to work with! You are only a few steps away from becoming a teacher. < Final process and subsequent flows> Please accomplish these 3 steps before the deadline, November 3, 2022." I am just so confused with this one because it's already written in my demo status "fail". Does this mean I have a chance? Please help me, teacher Karen.
