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]

[@elizabethsnyder4991]

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

[@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:)

[@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!

[@elizabethwhitfield5910]

Your videos are so helpful! Wish I'd seen them earlier to use your referral link because I feel like you're really helping me get geared up for my demo video. Thanks!

[@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!!!

[@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!!!

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

[@fernandohabito]

Excellent demonstration of the TPR method of teaching ESL...thanks Nancy...

[@peggyjohns1111]

Such helpful advice and tips Nancy! Thank you. You make it so fun for your students!

[@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.

AWESOME job Nancy!

[@tuesday081408]

Hey Nancy! LOVE THIS VIDEO, you are actually so funny, helpful, and charming! When I saw your demo video on the VIPKID website, I thought it was a bit over the top... I was not used to so much energy, but i understand why it's necessary. You are super helpful and I thank you for posting these videos. xox

[@francescabeans9722]

Nancy, you are so awesome. Thank you for the input.

[@alicia.c.castro]

This was super helpful! Also, you should be on a Disney Channel show -- your students must be so engaged!

[@nickolasdixon4060]

This is AWESOME! I have my interview on Saturday! Time for PREP & PROPS! Thanks for all the tips! Totally a subscriber!

[@NancyTaylor]

You will do a great job Nickolas! Thanks!!

[@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

[@lchaney02]

fantastic energy, fantastic information! Love your energy and gets me excited! Way to go! :-)

[@patrickkelly7619]

Hello Nancy. Such energy and enthusiasm, Wow. I viewed your video and really got excited. I am viewing and reading so much to prepare for a new chapter in my educational experience. I do have many years teaching as an elementary teacher, special education teacher and spent most of my years in the wild and fun middle school. I believe in a great start and everything I learned in the middle school, I had a super mentor and friend to guide me through Middle School 101. ha ha ha Help!!! lol lol lol

[@TreeloreTV]

Soooo terrific!!!! Thanks so much for all the informative and clear advice and amazing examples :-)

[@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

[@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!

[@marriedaprince1]

THANK YOU! I felt happy just watching you :)

[@jamiedecker7142]

Thank you for your helpful hints Nancy! I can tell by watching you that we have a lot in common. ;) I am going to use these tips for my interview! Thanks so much!

[@NancyTaylor]

You got it Jamie!

[@LeighLyon]

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!

[@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

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!

[@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!
