QKids | Did I Just Get Fired?! | Let Me Explain.... | ESL Teaching Chronicles

I agree. Qkids’ interview was the most nerve wracking for me as well. I got rejected right off the bat and was bummed for awhile. But now I think it was meant to be because I now work for EF and Cambly and I love it. It suits my style. Like you, I’m not a real animated teacher either. I am definitely more low key.

Hi April! Yes, the QKids hiring process was a LOT! EF and Cambly are definitely more laid back ☺️

Thank you. I won't bother with QKids.

Yes I have taught for Qkids for over 4 years. I've loved it. I was able to focus in on all of my students in each class because you develop the skill over time and I mean in a short period of time. But I agree that the interview process was A LOT, but I was able to pass and get accepted early in the process ( I didn't have to do all the trial lessons) because they said I did so well in the first couple. But I also did experienced burn out at some points especially at the top of 2020. And yes they do have phonics and other classes they offer in the US. My grandson in the US took some of the classes when he was 3 and 4 years old. And the cancellation policy is why I have stayed with them as my only ESL platform until now. I just started with Cambly last week. I made almost 2ce as much in an hour with Qkids but, I like the 24 hour options (which I did have available to me on Qkids during the early part of the pandemic when all the Chinese kids were at home all day)

I wanted to apply for Qkids as a teacher (I'm American but live in Australia), however, they wouldn't even consider hiring me since I am not located in the USA- I'm a citizen and am eligible to work in the USA. I was so bummed... I just did my demo for Cambly. Hopefully, I'll hear something soon.

Hi! l worked for Qkids for about 3 years and loved it, but I definitely understand where you are coming from. I ended up quitting because I burned myself out with all the energy I had to exert everyday for all those students. I am looking to get back into teaching and I see you work for Cambly and EF. Are they still accepting teaching applications? I know some companies are not anymore because of the new rules in China.

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Candice! EF is no longer hiring due to regulations but Cambly is ☺️

Hi Kia. Great content. Are you having issues with EF payroll by any chance?

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Ricardo! Yes there was a delay, not sure why. Hopefully you’ve received your pay by now ☺️

[@RicardoMarchosky]
