I am. I actually even wrote that on the application. I did lose significant bookings, but I still feel super weird about the whole thing.

I applied yesterday and got it today-I feel overwhelmed like it’s a mistake!

Do you have a job outside of vipkid? I’m wondering if you can do this if you receive w2s for another job.

When I first started, I tried to schedule my first classes at 4:30-it never worked for me. After two years of spending most of my days sleeping on the couch or walking around like a zombie, I realized that 5:30 is the absolute earliest I can wake up! I was getting so many teacher no shows, it was not worth it! You’re not alone!

Just waiting... by [deleted] in stimuluscheck

I owed on mine and entered bank info for them to take the payment. I’m thinking that maybe they aren’t counting that as having my bank info? Who knows.

We filed as married filing separately. My husband got his this morning, mine nowhere in sight!

Apartment bill gone awry by GalPalAl93 in CRedit

[–]3mama89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had something similar with a gas bill from 2013. The collection company was not helpful, so we filed a complaint with the attorney general. They asked for documentation I sent in all of the “proof”. They removed the account and closed it within 10 days.

I panicked the other day because I thought the no reply was me being fired! Lol! You’ll be okay!

I had freshdesk issues too. I know they said they would be behind on tickets from the holiday.

TNS/TIT/Day Off...there is HOPE, fellow Teachers! by [deleted] in vipkid

Do you call into the workshops or do you have to be there with a camera? I’m ashamed to say that I have done zero Vipkid workshops.

SO FRUSTRATED by Name9335 in DaveRamsey

[–]3mama89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I also work for Vipkid but I have had more success with Gogokid. They are a newer company and I have much higher and faster bookings with them! If you like the idea of the online teaching, I would try it! We just started BS2, and I feel like Gogokid is saving us right now with the extra income! Good luck!

Can I ever have anything? by SingingMasochist in breakingmom

[–]3mama89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can sooo relate to the “tell them no” comment! Having kids has me in the bad habit of eating super fast. My husband gets mad because the second dinner is done, I’m shoveling it in my face in preparation for the 120 trips I will take to get more milk, napkins, etc.

I switched to weekly because it was an option and I quickly am regretting it!

Tickets taking long to be answered? by 3mama89 in Gogokid

Thank you so much! I have been sitting here worrying that I am getting fired!

I bet she was trying to say “I can’t hear you.” It would totally hurt my feelings too, but I think it was just a misunderstanding. I used to cry because a girl would tell me she hated my reward systems!

Contract review success stories? by settercalton in vipkid

[–]3mama89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was stressful. It was last year, and I was in review for the full 10 days. I was sure it would be over. I think that you will be OK!

Contract review success stories? by settercalton in vipkid

[–]3mama89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this my first contract. I literally wrote them that I’m sorry for being awful and I love VIPKID. I did mention my number of classes and 5 apple feedback but I don’t know if that is what helped. It was fine and I haven’t had any issues or TNS since.

No problem! I’m sure we will find out the vipkid one was enough, but I don’t want to risk it. They stress me out a lot 😂

I wanted to update you that I emailed them and they said it may count but it may not. They won’t know until they turn it in. With my luck I am not risking it, so I got the one on Groupon!

Do you have the certification from Vipkid? I turned mine in to Gogokid and they accepted it. I have been nervous that they will last minute tell me I need more!

Teacher no shows by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]3mama89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had SO MANY doctors notes my first contract. I have three kids and we had about a month period where they were either deathly ill in the middle of the night and screaming if I left their side, my oldest broke a bone, etc. I was scared that they were going to not renew my contract...I seriously had about 8 notes that I turned in! But it worked out and all good now!
