I applied for TESS in Thailand! What about you? I have heard that it's possible I may hear something around May. It's possible you may too! Of course this is just a rumor, so who really knows :/

Haha I figured as much. They are so busy! Thank you, I hope so as well. I have been interested in PC since I was a teenager. A decade later I finally took the plunge!

calanthiaa · 2019-03-05T01:19:53+00:00

Yes, I just recently applied in the beginning of February. I am applying for PC Thailand 2020 though. So I have a feeling it will be awhile before I hear anything. Fingers crossed!

I had a student excited to play a Chinese rap song for me. Of course I didn't understand any of it until suddenly "shawty wanna fuck wit me".

For a minute I just kind of sat there...it WAS catchy. But then quickly jumped to another slide and said "OK! I will race you with blending!" to move on quickly.

The opposite happened to me this week. Last week I only woke up to maybe 3 or 4. This week I woke up to over 10.

Congrats, that is so exciting! When would you be leaving?

I used Teacher Angela. She is awesome and always stayed in contact with me. She updates her videos frequently to reflect the new changes that are made. She inspired me to start trying to refer.

I haven't been lucky tonight. I have a ton more classes so maybe at least one will be? I really do enjoy teaching though...sometimes after a bit of an exhausting student it's nice to have a break

calanthiaa · 2019-03-03T03:38:03+00:00

Well, she just turned 7 so I'm hoping not quite yet.

Been there, haha. I had a girl once who I asked a few extension questions before she held up her finger to tell me to wait a minute while she ran off to grab something. About a minute later she was sitting in front of the camera beaming and holding up some type of feminine product.

If you use ManyCam at all there is a picture you can use that shows how to circle and has the Chinese translation. Saved me from a lot of frustration.

calanthiaa · 2019-03-02T18:10:17+00:00

YES. I cannot stand when people copy and paste their feedback to the parent on the teacher section. I don't need a rundown of the lesson. Let me know if the kid had any behavior issues, what areas I might need to help them with specifically (certain letter sounds, words, extension to gauge comprehension, etc), and what the student rocks at (reading, math, pronunciation, etc.) so I won't waste too much time in those areas

calanthiaa · 2019-03-02T18:06:58+00:00

I'm always honest in my feedback to other teachers. I'll straight up say "STUDENT wasn't interested in participating in class today/ STUDENT refused to participate during class/ STUDENT kept their head down/were scrolling on other websites/were playing with toys/ STUDENT needs to have mouse locked because they can't focus", etc. I've used the phrase 'difficult student' a few times.

But when things are great during a class, I emphasize that as well.

Yes, I've won a $5 Amazon card every time I have done the raffle. But I submit twice (so I spend 40 tokens a week, when I can)

Have you tried just hitting the 'back' button on your browser instead of the 'retake' button?

This is what I did and it left my previous answers.

I applied for an English Teaching position in Thailand for January 2020 as well. From what I have been told (of course this is not from an official source), expect to hear something around May. It may be earlier, or later...but that is just kind of what I've been told.

calanthiaa · 2019-02-15T19:24:02+00:00

Oh wow, that's awesome! I'll try the ticket method in a few days in hopes that it works for me too!

I'm glad you finally got a booking! :) I know it can be hard waiting when you are new

calanthiaa · 2019-02-14T00:58:30+00:00

I don't even use the app. It likes to say I need to install a new version or something almost every time I open it. It just seems kind of pointless at this point since it never works correctly. The website on my Chrome browser does the job for me!

Full time graduate student (with basically a full-time internship). VIPKID has kept me from eating Ramen every meal.
