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
- Recorded demo
- Smart demo
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.
