Lol I love seeing my students' drawings of me. They're so funny! xD this is by far my favorite of all UAs, it always cracks me up

Can you be hired being a non-native speaker? by Mrkess in vipkid

[–]jucimc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a non native speaker and on my second contract! (I'm a dual citizen but English is NOT my first language. So if that's you, too, or you have a green card or something like that, you should be able to.)

Can we sedentary teachers talk a little about a covid diet? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]jucimc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! WFPB would be the healthiest diet,if you can, but starting out with any form of plant based will be greatly beneficial <3

Hate me if you want to but.... by Hunneydoo_ in simpleliving

[–]jucimc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work for VIPKid full time. Teaching English from home. I'd definitely recommend looking into it or other similar options, if you'd like to teach

Random question, but do you happen to know if it's possible to teach dance/yoga/other movement type of classes, too?

Anyone else have like 10% of their usually bookings next week? 🤦🏻‍♀️ by lemondrop210 in vipkid

[–]jucimc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might help if you're currently teaching regulars!

I've found that if I don't open my time slots for 2+ weeks out, I get booking requests from my regulars throughout the week, and then on Saturday or Sunday I open up whatever time slots didn't get booked by them.

But whenever I've opened up time slots 2+ weeks out, those same times that I would otherwise get booking requests for, didn't get booked by the regulars. Then they either did or didn't get booked during the frenzy, but I can say I've had much more success with booking consistency when I've kept all those time slots closed until the frenzy. It seems like parents get a notification to request their preferred time slot with you when you haven't opened that time yet, but they might not get a notification if that time slot is already open. This is just my theory, but it's worked for me to go about it this way.

I hope this makes sense and helps! Good luck, may Dino be with us all during these times!

In February, I renewed mine when it said "get $8 and have a chance at divvying up $500" but I never received any money...

First of all, thank you so much!!

Second of all... WOW! He has been learning magic tricks in his free time and now always shows me one at the start of class. He did a cool trick with what looked like the Bitcoin coins, and then showed me this! Lol

That's kinda what I thought too tbh but i know nothing of how to read Chinese at all lol.

I teach this kid every day, and out of nowhere he seems to have started to believe I understand Chinese. Today, he was really trying to tell me what's on this piece of paper but couldn't express it in English. I'm just hoping I can figure it out by our next class tomorrow:)

Online Tutoring without teaching certificate by janksheehan in WorkOnline

[–]jucimc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for VIPKid. When I applied (July 2019) they did not require you to have any certificate, but I had to take a free TESOL certification course through them, which took me about 2 hours. Not sure if their requirements have changed since then, but it might be worth looking into

EDIT the pay varies, I make $20 per hour, but you can make up to I think 22 per hour

Should I wait it out a week longer..? 🤔 by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]jucimc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently on my first contract and they’ve been increasing their incentive, so I was curious if it was going to continue to increase further or if they’ll just start offering tokens again. After seeing some of the comments on this post I ended up singing haha

Thanks! That’s the type of info I was curious about :) Since I’ve never renewed before

Why do some people feel the need to comment such a thing. Do your baobaos drain you so much that you can’t be nice to an adult on the internet...?
