Application: Submit basic information (e.g., education, teaching experience) via VIPKid’s platform 35.
Demo Lesson: Choose between two options:
Smart Demo: A 5-minute recorded lesson (can be retaken) with a provided slide 319.
Live Demo: A 30-minute video call with a recruiter acting as a student, offering real-time feedback 320.
Mock Class: Teach a 10-minute lesson to a mentor posing as a student, focusing on VIPKid’s curriculum (e.g., Level 2-3 or 4-5) 312.
Training & Certification: Complete mandatory TESOL/TEFL training (if not already certified) 314.
Simple and straightforward. They give you all the demo material, which ends up being your PowerPoint slide. They look for a few simple markers to evaluate the teaching style, and the rest is pretty straightforward.
I interviewed with VIPKid back in the golden days, of showing an initial mock interview, followed by an offer, and then doing a lesson with the mock teacher/ Mentor. It was pass or fail. Today, it's a bit different. You apply, give your mock interview to the company and your pay rate is based on a tier system of total classes taught.
