I love your videos and your spirit, Nancy! I've found your videos amazingly helpful as I'm gearing up to apply. I love seeing teachers' positive experiences with VIPKID and I am excited to start teaching some kiddos! I have a music education and special education teaching background and I am excited to combine my experiences with something new. :)

Collin! A huge thank you for your kind comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to say that! You are going to absolutely love VIPKID. It will be so much fun for you to include music in your lessons. I'm sure you have developed patience and sincere love through your special education teaching experience. Both skills will really help you excel! Keep me updated on how the interview process goes! Best of luck Collin!!!

Hi Nancy! Thanks for this video. I have been teaching for a month and am having a hard time filling slots with MCs. It's mostly trial classes that students tend not to show up for. So I was getting very discouraged and considered giving up. Thank you for giving me hope that it will get better! I am going to stick it out thanks to you.

Happy dance!!! Wahoo Emily:) Trial classes are not easy to teach..... I always feel like I exert 10x as much energy because it is so new for the student and you want them to have a great experience. You will experience a wide variety in teaching them from awesome to the no shows... I promise if you stick with it for another month you will start seeing more and more MC classes! The nice thing about trial classes is that they can fill your schedule in the mean time! Lucky to have that!!! Keep up the great work & this comment made my day! Thank you:)

They also stated that they are no longer doing the field trip video promotion either. I thought that was still going on because it was so recent. But I guess not. Thanks again! Have a great day!

I served in Nursery 6 times! I need to remember NOT to sing the Nursery songs! Your little one will be in Nursery in a couple months? Yeeeeaaaahhh! I taught like crazy last week and this week is a little bleak. I'm just riding it out. Watching all the vids I can, trying to be the best I can be. I'm also lurking in the forums and stealing ideas for props and rewards. VIPKID teachers are great at sharing!

@NancyTaylor
@NancyTaylor 7 жыл бұрын
Su! Great suggestion for a future video! Thank you for your input! My suggestion for now is to make a goal to spend 1 minute or less per slide. If you spend extra time on a concept that the student isn't understanding or understands really well and is explaining and showing higher level thinking skills then adjust the time you spend on the repeat/review of that concept. With my higher students I will skip the review slide and teach the grammar/new content and then go back to the review slide if there is time. They may not understand every slide at the end of the lesson, but that is the beauty of the built in reviews! They may not get it day one, but they will get it! Time and practice are huge helps as well! You will only get better!

Thanks for the recommendation! I have this video that goes over my classroom set-up! It doesn't cover internet speed however I had to call my internet provider and ask for the fastest download and upload speed. They were then able to test the connection. I didn't have the best connection until after I called and made those changes:) I was able to teach with my regular connection, but once I was teaching more I needed a better internet!

Ooh! I've got a question!! Being an "independent contractor" and the dreaded TAXES!! Is there a a secret as to how much you should work to still be profitable before the government takes half your money?! All I know about IC's is that you get screwed. True or false? (p.s thanks for all your hard work in these tutorials!!)
@NancyTaylor
@NancyTaylor 7 жыл бұрын
Jessica! Great question! I have yet to live through a tax season, and will better be able to address your question once summer hits. Starting my second year I will send in estimated amounts quarterly so that it isn't a huge shock at the end. My first year shouldn't be too bad because I wasn't teaching as many hours in the spring and summer of last year. We will see.... in due time! I do not know what the ideal amount of time to teach would be. Definitely a valid concern!

Nancy-- your videos are very helpful! I have a question: I have my mock 2 coming up. Time is my biggest struggle. I really spent too much time on the warm up and review. Is it ok to not do everything on the slides in the review and warm up? I am so nervous...I hope I can get this time thing down! Thanks for all your helpful info! -DeeAnne :-)
@NancyTaylor
@NancyTaylor 7 жыл бұрын
DeeAnne! I would be more worried about hitting the objectives, TPR, animation, high energy, simple sentences (level 1), speed of speech, props and your instruction rather than the timing. For timing purposes you can do 3/5 words on the review slides and keep the class moving, just be sure that you aren't so focused on it that you miss all of the other points:) You are going to do great!!! Best of luck!

Linda! I film these videos with a separate handheld camera (canon G7X Powershot) because there is more storage on it than my laptop and they do create good videos. For class I use my laptop (Macbook Pro, Retina, 13', Late 2013) and I absolutely love it! I have loved my macs and they hold value really well! The only con is there is not a lot of storage on them so I have several external hard drives that have EVERYTHING on them:) Hope this helps! Happy Teaching!

Hi!! I love your energy!! I have a couple of questions. One, how many hours do you average per day/week? Also, I'm hoping to transition from being a full-time teacher to a VIPKID teacher in the near future once my husband and I have a baby. I'm wondering how this works with an infant at home. My first thought is what happens if you're in the middle of a lesson and your baby cries? Is it impossible to do this and be the only one home with the baby? Any tips for balancing the two would be oh so appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

I have a question about hours. If we don't think we can fulfill the 7.5 hours a week, should we not even apply? Is there flexibility with the amount of hours a week, or is the minimum 7.5 hours a week? My application got accepted, but I'm not sure if I should proceed or not because I may not be able to do 7.5 every week.

Hi Nancy! THANKS for the great information. Would you mind keeping the volume down on your instructional videos, please? I have a hard time hearing you over the music. Does anyone else ask you about that?

Nichole! Love the feedback! I can turn the music down on the instruction:) It is suppose to be just background music! Sorry, about that!

I have 2 questions, I just got hired and had my account activated last night & I have 12 bookings already :) but I would like to get my powerpoints ahead of time so I can look at them and prepare my props. Where can I get them? I'm a little confused with all these different logins, my app on my phone, my Vipkid portal, and whats a freshdesk,? Last question on the top of my portal it says my number is 5, what does that mean?

Olivia! You can only look at the PPT 24 hours before the class. There is no single location to locate all of the powerpoints. The app on your phone is great to check your schedule. Freshdesk has forums and the weekly announcements and your teacher portal is where you go to teach. 5 is the number of classes that were taught in the first week. You want to beat that number this week. It is part of the April teaching incentive. They do a new one each month! Happy teaching! Great work!!

I got it at back to school time in the $1-$3 section, so does that mean it is seasonal? I haven't seen it since... They always have great stuff in the front section though!!

Nancy Taylor I guess it is seasonal haha! I just love it! I check every time I go and at multiple Targets. I wish the $1 section was available online. Btw, congrats on the new baby!! I have one around your daughters age so you’re like super woman to me! Love your videos~~~

You said log in to practice. How is the best way to practice where you can actually see yourself before you've become a VIPKID teacher? I guess by creating a KZbin Video maybe? But, is there anything established by VIPKID where potential teachers can practice?

You can go into your classrooms and practice. I would just log in the night before and practice. If you want to watch a recording of your class after you have taught it this is great feedback for yourself as well. Just go back to the classroom from the "classrooms" tab and you can watch a recording of your class! Hope this helps!!!

Question - I did my mock class 2 yesterday and still haven't gotten results. I got results for mock class 1 within 15 minutes and I'm kind of freaking out that they don't want me or they would've emailed by now because you only have two days to sign the contract and upload your teacher video... Is it safe to assume they don't want me??

@NancyTaylor 7 жыл бұрын
Not so fast Kaylee! The mock 2 is often reviewed by multiple teachers so I would just wait it out and see what happens! I hope that it is good news for you:)

Check the weekly announcements because they stopped using it for a bit, but I saw it reintroduced. That is your best source for up to date info!
