VIPKID Demo Tips: How to Pass Your Interview

[@jennifertoone8782]

For ANYONE interested in applying for VIPKid: I spent 3 weeks researching which teacher to follow for the clearest, most concise method in passing the interview I found Nancy Taylor to be the most accurate & exciting mentor (out of the top 5 of teachers viewed/number of views) to use as a referral. Thank you Nancy!!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Thank you Jennifer!! How sweet of you to take the time to leave this comment after becoming a teacher! I really appreciate it! Happy teaching!

[@mayisyifa2569]

I want join with vipkids, I registered until 2 times but they still rejected.lol

Is this online teaching?

[@Teto3147]

I passed my interview

[@readwithDavid]

I've been watching your videos to get ready for the interview, but I want to give you props for creating great videos! You spent a lot of time filming, editing, editing and more editing each video. Thank you so much.

[@NancyTaylor]

Thanks David:)

[@elizabethsnyder4991]

I have my interview tomorrow and this helped me feel so much more prepared and less nervous. Thank you :D

[@MooncakeEnglish]

HI Nancy, these are great tips! Especially the point about speaking slow. I think everyone gets very nervous when in an interview and it's easy to start speaking really really fast from nerves. Visual aids are also SUPER important and something that lots of people forget. Thanks for making the video!

[@AlanCohenalco67]

You totally rock, I have been a teacher of twenty years but only teaching ESL English for the last 6 years to high-schoolers and adults. Every time I learn something new when I watch your vids,.. thanks so much for sharing, your knowledge and experience will be put to good use...:)

[@NancyTaylor]

SO happy to hear this Alan!! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I sure appreciate it! If you are looking to teach online at any point let me know! I'd love to help you out! You have an excellent background and wonderful experience! Happy teaching!

[@AlanCohenalco67]

Nancy Taylor hi again, thank you for your response🙏 I am interviewing this week and am new to online teaching. I am a veteran teacher of 29 years, six of which have been ESL. I have taught from 7th to adult. Any guidance regarding TPR and phone Mrs or any other advice is so humbly welcome 😉☺️😊 I am new to the younger ages and here I would love to embrace your experiences, ideas, creativity, holding the kid's attention and tricks on how to maintain interactive participation and engages students when they don't understand or lose interest. Thank you so much for your support and assistance. Love your vids! alan☺️

[@ARA-El]

Hello Nancy! I just used your code to apply and completed my recorded demo... Truly crossing my fingers! I had so much fun recording. Thank you for all of your super supportive and educational videos. Hugs to you and the family.

[@NancyTaylor]

Amazing!! You are going to love VIPKID. If you haven't emailed me send me an email for more resources and help!! [e-mail]

[@mariatijerina3822]

I am having a bit of a hard time finding someone that can guide me through the process. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you so much for your help. This is the job I have been looking for and I just need a little boost. THANKS AGAIN

[@NancyTaylor]

Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@littlespeedy25]

this is so unbelievably helpful!! makes me feel so confident moving foward into the world of online teaching

[@reelicious]

Your videos are extremely helpful!! I just clicked on your referral link and now I have an interview!!! I'm super excited and nervous all at the same time!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Awesome!! Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help! [e-mail]

[@mariacha8067]

Hi. I applied and have an interview on Wednesday. I would like your help and add you as a referral if I still can. Please let me know. Ty

[@NancyTaylor]

Love to help you out Maria! You can email [e-mail] stating that Nancy Taylor ([e-mail]) referred you and give them this code: 00RFSO Shoot me an email, and I'll help you out!

[@noneofyourbusiness2539]

Perhaps I'm confused, but isn't what you're describing as TPR actually simply body language? To be TPR, doesn't there needs to be a physical response from the student? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_physical_response

[@NancyTaylor]

You got it! This video explains a bit better:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIqUmZtsZ9tokM0

[@kahemp1]

I love the energy that you have and the excitement that you bring. I have watched your video and will be watching it again. I applied last night and scheduled my interview for this afternoon - it was suggested that I watch your video and I am glad that I did. I feel like I need to prepare myself some more and will watch again and again. I moved my interview to Thursday. Thank you for the great tips!!!

[@rebeccagonzalez171]

Hi Nancy. Thank you for your helpful videos. I have already taken the online quiz. The three questions that I got incorrect were worded very confusingly. There were also many grammatical errors, making those three questions more confusing. Regardless, I am now moving on to the interview part, unless you advise to do something else about the online quiz. Next, is the interview. Here are the questions: Q1: Tell us a little about yourself! (About 1 min) (Where are you from? What kind of teaching experience do you have?) • Q2: Use TPR (total physical response) to teach (30 seconds): • The word bicycle to a 5-year old who does not speak English. • The sentence “I see a bicycle” • Q3: Prepare and teach the following slide using ESL teaching techniques. Imagine the student is a 5-year old. (about 1 min - 1:30min) This is a review slide. The teacher pronounces each word and prompts the student to circle the picture that starts with M. TIP: T pronounces each word (mouse, elephant, and monkey) and prompts S to circle the right picture of which initial sound matches with M. I would be so grateful and appreciative if you would be able to advise me through this process. My email address is [e-mail]. Thank you!

[@NancyTaylor]

Just emailed you Rebecca!

[@jenniferkay4264]

There are many grammatical errors throughout the VIPkid process. It's a bit disheartening to see.

[@wendywalker128]

I have an interview tomorrow night and have watched SEVERAL of your videos already! You have fabulous information partnered with incredible energy! Thank you so much! If I had known about the referral part before scheduling the interview, I definitely would have used it!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Wendy! Good luck!! I'm so happy to hear that you have applied! I'm happy to help you still through the application process. If you didn't use someone's specific referral you may email [e-mail] stating that Nancy Taylor ([e-mail]) referred you and give them this code: 00RFSO and this will connect your name to mine! No worries if not. Happy to help!

[@lorrable]

You are so cheerful. I think any teacher in any setting can benefit from these tips. Thanks

[@NancyTaylor]

SO good to hear! Thank you:)

[@elodiasopchak2328]

You are awesome!!! The best VIPKID video I have seen so far with helpful tips and GREAT energy!!! Love it!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Thank you Elodia! Happy teaching!

[@britney7480]

I used your referral link as well and didn't even realize it! I now have to schedule an interview! I love your videos! So helpful!!!

[@johnnycatfishproductions2288]

I wish I watch your video before I applied! Wow!! Your Great Teacher! Gratitude!

[@MsDayrie]

Thank you so very much for this!! I am up tonight all nervous because I have my interview on Monday. Your tips definitely helped to ease my nerves. I already have ideas floating around for props and other things I can do and use. Thanks so much!

[@JenniferVanellasingandrelax]

I just wanted to say thank you. You are a terrific Teacher. I passed my Interview yesterday and I'm working on my quiz and lesson plan now. THANK YOU for your passion and talent. - Jen Vanella a Voice Coach and now: on this awesome adventure!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Great work Jen! Let me know if you need help with anything! Email is [e-mail]

[@melainecrowther2625]

I have loved watching your videos, such sunshine and energy!! I just finished my certification for ViP Kid and was so excited to get started until I got to the last submittal page and realized I had to have a Bachelor's degree to be a teacher! DARN it! Well, anywho... I have absolutely LOVED watching and learning from your videos! Thanks for lighting the world through your bright example! #lighttheworld ;)

[@NancyTaylor]

Melaine!! Darn. I love your positive outlook on this, and the only company I know of right now that doesn't require a bachelors is QKids. I don't have any resources for this company, but I refer teachers there if they are in your shoes. Thanks for your kind comment, and I hope that you stick around my channel! We are LDS too (Perhaps you already knew that).. hahaha

[@catherineburch4271]

Your tips helped me a whole bunch during my demo tonight! Thank you! #6 was the one I wasn't my best on--mostly because I was nervous-and feedback was I needed more consistency and repetition to avoid being confusing. Hey yaw--be sure you use your 30 mins to practice switching slides through your transitions, circling, and underlining--my stuff was everywhere! LOL

[@huabvwj6668]

Thanks for the tips! I'm a teacher, but didn't realize the interview needs to be kept at such a basic level....so thank you!

[@NancyTaylor]

You got it! I'd love to help you further! Shoot me an email if you think VIPKID is a good fit for you! [e-mail]

[@raijageorge6532]

Hi Nancy! I live in Provo, and I looove your videos!!!! They really helped me prepare for my demo and interview that I had last night... and I PASSED!!! Yaaaaay!!!!! So THANK YOU!!!! Now on the next stage.

[@NancyTaylor]

Wahoo! Way to go Raija! So happy to hear:)

[@kristinelyons32]

I signed up for an interview before I saw any of these videos. After the first one, I was a little worried. After seeing yours, though, my confidence is back! Thank you :)

[@NancyTaylor]

So happy to hear that I could help you out! Confidence is everything! Be you and that will be perfect!!

[@karenkerfoot5530]

Thank you for recording this video. I have applied and I have an interview on Sunday morning at 9am central time. I live in Alabama. I have been teaching for 17 years.

Your videos are so helpful! I have an interview with VIPKID this week and I’m super stoked! Thank you for all the great tips!

[@sgp7250]

@NancyTaylor you are so amazing girl!! You have the best energy, amazing tips, and you remind me how much being overly animated really helps (mainly the student's comprehension). You would be great for a Disney teaching show.

[@NancyTaylor]

Stevie:) The dream job I never knew existed! hehehe! Disney teaching show!! Woot, woot!

[@kevinstockard4453]

Thanks Nancy! Very helpful videos! I'm taking my interview this Friday. I'm preparing with your videos. Thanks so much for making these videos public. I hope I pass and I will have you to thank! :)

You got it Jamie!

This was very helpful. I have to get my props, figure out where in my house to set up my background! And practice. Thank you!

[@LifeIsAnArt12]

Hi Nancy! I taught English in Prague for a year, but online teaching is pretty foreign to me. I have an interview with VIPKid on Saturday and your tips have been so helpful! I'm really excited about this process. Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge!

[@joychen1013]

This is the best video I've seen so far!!! Thank you so much!

Thanks Jodi!

[@laurenculver5631]

Hello Nancy! I have been watching your VIPKID videos all day (well, in between the little one's naps)! I am so excited to finally find a work from home opportunity that I am actually passionate about. I just applied through your referral link and scheduled my interview/demo for this Thursday! I don't have a ton of classroom experience, so I am just a tiny bit nervous. Your videos have been SO helpful. Thanks for sharing!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Lauren! Nap times are the best:) So happy you found VIPKID! I love it and I share it with everyone that I see because it has been such a blessing for us! Keep me posted on how it goes!

[@kristincoles2515]

I'm preparing to do my demo video for VIP Kids. This has helped me so much. Thank you!!

[@liessaspeck5085]

My 7 year old, my 2 year old, and myself have laughed and giggled, and totally enjoyed your videos today!

[@rachelcadenas3530]

This is very helpful! My first interview is tomorrow and I'm prepping as much as I can. The "t" sound was the most helpful part. Even in my sons phonics videos they say "tah." Thanks so much for uploading.

[@NancyTaylor]

So happy this helped Rachel! Good luck today! Hope everything goes well for you!

[@rachelcadenas3530]

Nancy Taylor Thank you! Yes everything went well and I'm on to my mock class now. Any tips? They did give me some helpful feedback such as better lighting and being more animated with my hands, but what do you suggest?

[@beckypelfrey2460]

You are amazing, and so animated! Thanks for doing this!!

[@Wonderpattypatty]

Nancy, you are sooo funny and entertaining!!! You must be an amazing teacher!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Awesome Wanda! Shoot me an email if you ever need help! [e-mail]

[@longaway3693]

I passed my mock one last night! Was hired today!

[@sexybabes6263]

ha! just applied for vipkid and had this in favourites to watch. Nicely done

[@AM-xe4iq]

I’m glad I’ve been seeing these videos. It’s helped me decide that this isn’t really for me. I’m a mother and currently a teachers aide for adult students, but I wouldn’t say I’m overzealous like this, bubbly or even high energy even though I love what I do and I connect with my students well. I believe I’m more adept at dealing with older clientele. Just a thanks on the heads up for what it would take.

[@NancyTaylor]

A M you may still find a good space at VIPKID with the older students. It is a very different classroom and not every class I teach is this energized. Much more for the younger students who need that extra engagement, but I know that ITutor teaches adults if you haven’t looked there! Here is my email [e-mail] if you need help with anything.

[@AM-xe4iq]

Nancy Taylor Awesome. Thank you so much!

[@princessxena165]

Yay! You are a great teacher Nancy ❤️ I super love the DEMO VIDEO. I even smile and laugh 😂 You are a real inspiration. Keep it up.

But before I do I will gather some props and good lighting and also some educational backdrops. Thank you for the great tips and I feel I know what I need to do now.
