Here are the reasons why I was turned down copied directly from their email. One of them is missing in your video. Just FYI for others: 1. Tool: We would like to suggest you to use two or more types of supplementary tools (Such as whiteboard, handmade flashcards or puppets 2. Rapport: Make sure to establish good rapport in the beginning of class. Introduce yourself, ask for the student's name and ask a rapport building question.
@@MonaLisa-kz6hz I believe you can retry multiple times! I think after a certain point they may decide to not move forward with your application if you keep failing
Thank you Sophia!!! This is EXACTLY what I keep wondering!!!! How to include greeting, build rapport offer a reward and STILL teach a lesson in 2.30 minutes!?🤔
Thanks Michael, you give the most thorough advice. Other videos said you just record the demo - don't worry about props, etc, and you'll pass. Well, you still need props, but you can get creative without spending a bunch of money. I think people don't want to spend a bunch of money on a classroom setting unless they know they're gonna get hired. At the same time, you should have the mindset you will get hired and thus you will need a proper setting with props and tools.
Where did you find the subject matter to teach on this demo? Was it provided? Did they give you the soccer sentence to say? I’m at the demo video section and don’t know what to do
Thank you for the video., Michael. I am currently preparing the application. I currently teach adult students. I am passionate about teaching, however my teaching style is rather laid back. I need to be able to project enthusiasm, while sounding sincere.
I did my demo and received excellent reviews on my teaching/pronunciation/TPR etc. They said I needed to work on lighting, technology and an educational background. They're letting me redo the quick demo. I was disappointed because I had to buy a light, mic, and background materials to redo it. I thought the quick demo was just go see if I had energy, and the ability to teach VIP Kids style. Also, recording the demo on the phone is not the easiest or best way! Why can't we do it from our laptop? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same problem. My teaching was reviewed as basically perfect, but I didn't pass because of the same issues you have. Teaching on my phone is obviously not what I will be doing in the future, so why am I expected to have the perfect set up for the smart demo? In the comments I was told to make sure to have a wired internet connection when I record the redo smart demo....how???? I am on my phone??? I feel like the teaching should be most important for the smart demo, and the cosmetic things can come later.
@@SarahW4285 it's very frustrating. I made my background today and ordered a white light and headset from Amazon. I also found you can download the vipkid app onto your desktop. That's what I'm going to do for my redo.
@@ginavega7116 really? I didn't know you could download the app onto the desktop. I also made a background today and set up a lamp. I should probably get a headset too. I feel like I've been put through the ringer with this process. I have a master's in tesol and have been teaching for 10 years. This is the toughest interview process I've gone through yet. Hope it's worth it!
@@SarahW4285 when I went to their website that's what it said you could do. I had my work issued laptop at the time and didn't have administrative rights to download it. I'm trying on my personal laptop today. Best of luck to you! I have my M.Ed. and feel the same as you do
Same thing happened to me...So I spent money on proper background, whiteboard, props, etc... Made sure the lighting was good. I still have to redo it! I thought the quick mobile demo option was to show your skills as a teacher, and then once you pass you can invest in the important things for a classroom.. I guess not!
You soooo knew I needed this today!! Thank you!! HAA! This must have been right after you emailed me back this morning... Thank you for ALL you have done to help the rest of us be a success!! ~ Angie Michaud
I'm worried about if I can bring that kind of energy. I'm a low energy kinda person, I don't get outwardly excited often, and when I do, they are short stints so that I can conserve energy.
Hi Michael! I already have the app but I am not sure how to put your code. I have been teaching online since 2009 with a certain company the I worked homebased to teach I quit in 2017. I went to china to volunteer with my America husband. Nowadays is totally different, TPR is the new thing lol I was more on class procedure and I had style how my students understand my lesson. I wanted to go back teaching but I dont know where to start.
That’s a great question. At first I didn’t, I slowly and steadily build my collection of props based on what I was seeing in the lessons over and over again
Great information! Thank you for informing us about the app! It sounds convenient compared to doing the demo on the computer. P.S. Do I have to wear an orange shirt? Does that add brownie points for the demo? Lol
For the smart demo there’s not an actual student present so they don’t have to draw or circle anything on screen. But you do see the slide you’re teaching 🙂
Thanks so much! Because I don’t have access to your email can you email me so I can give you access to my referral support materials. email.teacher.michael@gmail.com
I am struggling to pass the smart demo because of cosmetic things like background, lighting, and technology. Your example doesn't look like it was recorded on a phone, but I could be wrong. How can I have the quality video they are looking for when I am limited to my phone for the smart demo?
Most phones are more than good enough to record the smart demo. The biggest factor that contributed to a high quality video is lighting. If you make sure you have enough light you should be good 🙂
I have registered with your referral code teacher Michael, please advise if I being Indian with north american accent, can pass through the hiring process.
@@MichaelVenn Right now they are paying $12 a class and have added about 7 classes a day... They are also offering a MEGABonus of $200 for referrals... if you get hired I will split the referral bonus with you 50/50

Sophia, I appreciate the information; thanks!
Can a person apply multiple times or are you out if you don't make it the first time?
Oh gosh I didn’t introduce myself to the child after soooo many smart demo videos didn’t include it 🙃 hope I don’t get turned down

Thank you! I appreciate your comment. You’re right, it’s kind of a double edged sword in that way.
I have an account and cant seem to find the place to apply. It doesnt say anywhere on my profile where to film this demo lesson.
Where did you find the subject matter to teach on this demo? Was it provided? Did they give you the soccer sentence to say? I’m at the demo video section and don’t know what to do
Would love to see a video on how to actually teach the interactive slides, how to interact with them, and what to do on what type of slide!
I can feel your passion for teaching Teacher Michael.
Should we introduce ourselves/explain our degrees and experience at the begnning of the Smart Demo?
Thank you for the video., Michael. I am currently preparing the application. I currently teach adult students. I am passionate about teaching, however my teaching style is rather laid back. I need to be able to project enthusiasm, while sounding sincere.
Very informative and this tutorial is a life saver for me😅 thank you so much.

Are you supposed to see the slide while you teach the Smart Demo? I did not see it.

That’s so nice to hear. Thanks for watching!!
No one did ur existence is a lie
Lost my job. Getting through the VIP kid interview would be nice :(
That's simply awesome!! thank you Teacher Mike!!
I'm worried about if I can bring that kind of energy. I'm a low energy kinda person, I don't get outwardly excited often, and when I do, they are short stints so that I can conserve energy.
That's exactly how I feel!
Same. :(
Lol drink coffee
@@bobbysalazar1740 I drink coffee, it doesn't work RIP
@@Hilraea did you get the job? another guy on here said that he isn't extra either but they like him because he was engaging.
Great video Mike! Really dig the background.
Hi Michael! I already have the app but I am not sure how to put your code. I have been teaching online since 2009 with a certain company the I worked homebased to teach I quit in 2017. I went to china to volunteer with my America husband. Nowadays is totally different, TPR is the new thing lol I was more on class procedure and I had style how my students understand my lesson. I wanted to go back teaching but I dont know where to start.
So we will have the slide in advance so we can gather appropriate props ??
You wont know what slide you will get until you finish the quiz. You don't have to record right away though.
Hi Micheal, I would love to reapply with my demo with the Smart demo, however I do not see an option for it?? Any suggestions on what I am missing??
Excellent! Thank you! Very engaging! My kids gathered around during the demo lesson to watch, lol.
It makes me very happy to hear that. Thanks so much for watching
Michael, thanks for the video. I was wondering, how do you know what props to have on hand?
That’s a great question. At first I didn’t, I slowly and steadily build my collection of props based on what I was seeing in the lessons over and over again
Do we get to see our slide ahead of time
Great information! Thank you for informing us about the app! It sounds convenient compared to doing the demo on the computer.
P.S. Do I have to wear an orange shirt? Does that add brownie points for the demo? Lol
Great video Michael! You make the process very approachable to the new recruit! :)
Pakistani people May apply on VIP kid? payment receiving method, channel?
They offered me a base pay of $7.00. Should I start over?
Is that per class or per hour?
@@MonaLisa-kz6hz per class!
@@marym2011 Thank you!
Do you see the powerpoint on your phone like you do on a laptop? And they can draw and circle on it?
For the smart demo there’s not an actual student present so they don’t have to draw or circle anything on screen. But you do see the slide you’re teaching 🙂
Does anybody know if the slides of the demo lesson change by themselves or do you have to move on to the next slide by yourself after 1 minute?
Thank you for this information.
Thank you for sharing information!
Hey Michael! Just wanted to say thank you for all of your high quality videos. I used your referral code, and I'm off to a great start 👌

Great tips! Also, where did you get the Megs puppet??
Thanks! They seek them in the official VIPKid store 🙂
Teacher Michael Awesome! Thanks so much!
Thanks
What are the least strict platforms for tutors in their cancellation policy?
Magic Ears 🙂
Please am a nigerian with a bachelor's degree can I apply...I have a year teaching experience.... would love to teach in VIP kids
What's the referral code for?
Thank you soo much for this video
Thank you for watching
I am struggling to pass the smart demo because of cosmetic things like background, lighting, and technology. Your example doesn't look like it was recorded on a phone, but I could be wrong. How can I have the quality video they are looking for when I am limited to my phone for the smart demo?

I’ve got the app on my iPad. Can I use my iPad for the smart demo?
Yes I believe so 🙂
Once hired, and you sign up for classes, can someone teach the same class all day, thereby saving money on props?
use ManyCam, the free version. they’re digital props, and you don’t need to spend another dime ever again.
Thanks so much for great informations, it was great, I hope you wouldn’t mind if I use your referral code?
I appreciate you watching. I don’t mind at all if you use my referral code :)
I have registered with your referral code teacher Michael, please advise if I being Indian with north american accent, can pass through the hiring process.

Why did you remove my comment ...
Don’t think I did. What was your comment?
