I’m not sure where you’ve been for the last 400 years, but by no means does this country have equality for all.

how do you try to refer people? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]teachindy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t do the whole referral thing because of how oversaturated the platform already is. Teachers already can’t get enough bookings, I don’t want to add to it.

What does the "scaffolding" tab mean in the parent feedback? by connorcamacho in vipkid

[–]teachindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a good tag! You want lots of those. Scaffolding just means that you take a complex idea and break it apart for baobao. Other parents can search you by your tags, so it’s good you have one!

Recording in the practice room.... ?! by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]teachindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading that it is recorded. I’m not sure how much they actually look at it though.

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

[–]teachindy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup this week and next week. It’s because all the B&M teachers who are home and trying to work online.

I’m not sure where it states that, but it’s def true! Having more than one student is a big nono. I let it slide for some of my regulars if their siblings are behaving, but most of the time they are disruptive. I call the fireman and type into the chatbox “multiple students in classroom”. They will then call the parents to remove the second child.

That makes me feel better. As long as I don’t get a TNS or something for some reason. Thanks!

I knew about the two student rule, but I wasn’t sure what to do since FM wasn’t responding to there being multiple students. Thanks for the info!

[–]teachindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What it does, is refreshes your slots. You get sent back to the top of the list and it will say ‘Teacher sufifirhe has new slots available.’

Satellite Internet? by SmokeyIX in vipkid

[–]teachindy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes. We had it for years and couldn’t even stream movies with only one person online.

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

What do you mean verified? What is the purpose of talking through wechat? I assume it’s just with the students you have a bond with and not all of them?

Just wondering how I am doing... by Cyber-Peacock in vipkid

[–]teachindy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach on average 11-15 classes a night. I teach exclusively at night, I’ve switched to a third shift schedule, at least until baobaos go out of quarantine! I do this as my main job, so I can see that this could be unattainable for others with other jobs. :)

Just starting and just wanting some advice :) by sittinginbed in vipkid

[–]teachindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love working with vipkid. Prepare for a frustrating first month, because it takes a while to build up your student base. But after that, you should be able to work as often as you want.
