You applied, saw that "book your interview" button... and freaked out. WHAT IS THIS?!
VIPkid starts with a quick demo/interview as a precursor to help THEM weed out the unqualified (oops... you don't speak English?) and to make sure you're on the right track to ROCKING those certifications! It is ALSO the point where VIPkid will offer you a base pay of $7-10/lesson (USD). Apparently you can negotiate this, so if you think you deserve a higher wage, come prepared with WHY!
RELAX & DON'T OVERTHINK THIS STEP!
- SMILE until your mouth hurts!
- Slow down... A LOT.
- Avoid "incidental language" (any word that's not completely necessary) while still using correct English.
- Have at least 3 props (Get a whiteboard! Steal your kids toys. Print out a couple props.)
- Have a reward system of your own & get excited about it!
- TPR (Total Physical Response) - Body language & hand gestures that help communicate what you mean even if the kid doesn't understand English at all!
- Your interviewer WILL make mistakes. Catch & correct them with positive encouragement!
- Have fun!
