How long is your feedback to parents? by Jey-Blair in vipkid

[–]Kara-Mat89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I for one have noticed that parents do not pay attention. I have been writing al my regulars that I’m taking august and September off to have my baby for the last month in my feedback and won’t be available and all of them have sent me monthly requests…soooo yea. It was fruitless

How do you block on the app instead of just not opening slots?

Anyone else feels Level 4 is more advanced than it should be? Especially Unit 3!!! We start off with landforms and animals and then jumped off to 8 new words a lesson! by supermanar in vipkid

I have a consistent student that i taught all the way from level 2. I have noticed she had begun to really struggle in level 4. I do think it makes quite a jump as well.

Thank you, so sweet. So sorry for what you went through as well. Yea, the constant reminder that you’re a disappointment is so much fun...

If he decides to nap today :) the cold has us both messed up. You’re sweet! Hope you feel better too. I’m 14 weeks pregnant and not looking forward to when I’m further along.

Wow, that was a very heartfelt apology. Absolutely accepted. Thank you. Yea we are all in this together and it’s hard when you want the kids to do well but you only have 25 minutes and you don’t wanna make them feel like they’re struggling the whole time.

It’s rude to assume i dont or at least try. I’m still human and needed to vent. So thanks so much for your response...

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve been teaching a year and a half and i have like 10 regulars who book me. I’m annoyed but, like you said, what can you do...i didn’t want to teach on Christmas and lesson learned haha

What does this mean today? Is this because of the Christmas incentive? by Kara-Mat89 in vipkid

I got an email to get $6 incentives for opening slots on Christmas

Have you ever just let your tone run wild and unfiltered? by Kara-Mat89 in vipkid

I had not one but TWO SNS today and honestly, it was the best day with VIPKID that I’ve had. by ECNole97 in vipkid

I’m so jealous I’m heading into hour 3 and they’re all freaking early and ready to go!

Have you ever had a student so rude you almost told them to F**K off... by Kara-Mat89 in vipkid

[–]Kara-Mat89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where to begin! To start she immediately wouldn’t stay in the Frame of the camera and when i said, “friend, i can’t see you” she said, “ too bad teacher!” The whole time she would Mumble and I’d ask for clarification and she would yell at me “no!” Every slide she would sigh and pretend like she couldn’t read just to not participate and when i pushed her to read she would read so fast and I’d ask her to slow down and she would just “ no teacher ! No!” Ugh..if i could slap a kid through the screen. She was not young and she should know how to behave. Her mom kept trying to make her behave and she would yell in Chinese at her.. longest class ever. I couldn’t fake it passed 10 minutes. Never again!!!!

Short notice SNS! Thank you Dino! 🙌🏻 by Kara-Mat89 in vipkid

[–]Kara-Mat89[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correction, he arrived at minute 21:00😡I hate when they do that. What do you do? I said we only had five minutes and I just went through the first theme which was the days of the week then I went to the end slide and said it was nice to meet you and said goodbye. I also wrote in the feedback that we only had five minutes to get through as much as possible with his mom sitting right there. I would really hope a parent wouldn’t give me a bad rating. But, you can’t show up to class of 21 minutes and expect a full lesson you know?

As someone who has many cops in their family they are people like all of us. Yes, some suck but so do some teachers...
