Take a look at the requirements below. Be sure to reach out to me if you have any questions.
A bachelor's degree or higher is required to be a teacher for VIPKid. The degree does not have to be in education.
You must have at least two years of experience working with children. This does not have to be formal teaching experience. Babysitting, tutoring, Sunday School, camp counselor, coach, nanny, etc. are good examples.
You must be legally eligible to work in the US or Canada.
For the interview process, you will need a computer or laptop equipped with a webcam and fast Internet speed (at least 20 mbps download) or a smart phone if you would prefer to do the Smart Demo.
When you are hired as a teacher, you will be able to teach using a desktop computer or laptop which must have fast reliable Internet (wired with Ethernet is preferred) and a webcam. A headset with a mic is also recommended. You will want to set up your "classroom" space in a quiet area with a simple, but inviting background. A few props are recommended such as a small white board, puppets and flash cards. You can also teach from an iPad if you prefer.
The hiring process at VIPKid can be a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. When you apply using me as your coach, I will walk you through each step and answer any questions you have along the way. Read through each step below and watch each video.

This is your first step!

This ensures that we are matched and I am able to help you through each step of the process. The application is easy and will only take a few minutes of your time. You will fill out your basic information and answer some screening questions. VIPKid wants to make sure you have the following qualifications:
Once they accept your application you will automatically be moved to the demo lesson stage, formerly known as the interview. You have three options:
Live Demo: done with a live person in China who will pretend to be a student. You will teach a short lesson.
Recorded Demo: record yourself teaching a short lesson and upload it to your portal
Smart Demo: This is the quickest and easiest option! This can all be done on your smart phone. You will learn some information, watch a few videos, take a short quiz and then upload a small clip of you teaching a slide.
VIPKid is looking for your smiles, your energy, a slow speaking speed, use of TPR (total physical response) and to make sure you are a native English speaker.
Remember, I will walk you through this!
You're almost done! At this stage you will certify for the levels you want to teach. I recommend doing both lower and intermediate levels, but you don't have to. During this step you will use the VIPKid platform to teach a 10 minute lesson to a current VIPKid teacher. This is your opportunity to use the skills you've learned, such as TPR, slow speaking speed, proper pronunciation, use of props, synthetic phonics, etc. Don't stress! I will give you plenty of tips and tricks to be successful.
Now is the time you may want to schedule a coaching session with me. These sessions are 30-40 minutes and we walk through each demo lesson to make sure you're well prepared.
Congratulations! You have made it to the final stage of the hiring process. You are a VIPKid teacher! During this stage you will get a TESOL certification, upload your documents, do a background check and sign your contract. Finally, open your schedule and TEACH!
