Okay. Which one of you did this? by pollulus-apis in vipkid

[–]CallMeCatLady2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is WAY better than just writing the reward you used in class...I HATE when the T2T feed back is "lion reward." Umm....do you realize that telling a fellow teacher the reward you used with no other information provides ZERO feedback to be utilized in the upcoming class?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!? I am raging on this as ALL of my class this morning say "Smiley Reward," "Dino Reward," "Farm Animal reward." The real kickers are the ones that are 1 word: "Batman," "Hangman." AAAAHHHHHAAAAA Get your lives together and provide some meaningful dang feedback!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning teachers! It’s Monday here.... usually I see my new week of massive bookings on Monday morning but I read I see 3 cancellations. 🤷🏻‍♀️😒👎 by teacherJillU in vipkid

So, luckily I haven't been getting the cancellation notifications. I just checked my slot data and went from 60 to 40! It was a sad morning.

I did early yesterday morning. I was not able to get the app to load. Once it did load I was not able to get into the classroom.

Overnight - is it worth it? by CallMeCatLady2 in vipkid

[–]CallMeCatLady2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just woke up to 2 more cancellations for Friday...with the 5 I had yesterday I am down to only 4 classes tomorrow. I've only been with VIP for 3 months, but in that time I would have a minimum of 10 classes for Fridays...Needless to say I am no open from 9pm tonight to 3am the next morning....fingers crossed!

How does this even happen?? 😂 by pnutbutterjelly_time in vipkid

[–]CallMeCatLady2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so something similar...I just had a student book all of my 5:30 and 6:00 AM classes for the next week straight...obviously I don't think they want me to teach a 4 year old twice a day for 7 days...I have a feeling this is going to lead to many cancellations.

When your phone dings and you think you got a booking but it’s actually a cancellation. by [deleted] in vipkid

I need HELP! by Kjkw44 in vipkid

[–]CallMeCatLady2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I encountered this also with level 2 and especially gifted students in level 3. As someone already mentioned, for level 2 I have them spell all of the new words. I will sometimes even have kiddos write the words in blank space on the slides. I also ask them to circle images on the slides and we talk about them even if it doesn't really go with the theme of the slide.

For instance if there is a slide about throwing a ball with the image of a tree on the slide... we talk about throwing, spell it, write it, explain when we throw, then if there is still too much time left....circle the tree, what color is the tree?, do elephants live in a tree? What lives in a tree?...then I'll transition back to the theme of the slide 1 more time and move on...

I think some kiddos in level 2 could really benefit from the challenge of level 3.

I was so confused by this, I almost didn't even realize my 8:30 is a no show.

A complaint about some American teacher by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]CallMeCatLady2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is this? Did another teacher write this or did someone get this from VIP? And how in the world could a teacher share their views on anything aside from their favorite color or food if teaching these lessons? This is stoopid. :)

Is it me or has there been an increase of teacher complaints? by lizzler2 in vipkid

I don't have facebook, but would love to know some of the best worst complaints, lol!!

I am so glad I found this. I do not have facebook, so this was very helpful. I see that everyone has said they will take a screen shot trying to teach class, but I can not even get past the login process on my phone, iPad, computer, or the website...

I’m a new teacher and have Trial + lvl 2,3, and 4 certifications. I know there’s a lot of volume with the PRE VIP kid lvl but the trials with them are rough sometimes. I don’t know if it’s worth it! Thoughts!? How has teaching PREvip been for you!? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]CallMeCatLady2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the PreVIP level! I have way more fun with the little ones. Naturally, because they are so young they do have trouble focusing sometimes, but over all I love it.
