After registering on their teacher recruitment page, I was invited to schedule a 30-minute interview & demo class. The company shares several materials to help you prepare for the interview. A nice Chinese lady conducted my online interview through the teacher portal. She had a slight accent, but I had no trouble understanding her. The interviewer asked me a few questions and gave directions for the demo lesson. At the conclusion of my interview, I was immediately notified of moving on to the next hiring stage.
The next step was to review all the VIPKID training materials and videos. Then I had to schedule 2 separate practicum lessons. The practicum evaluators pretend to be a student while the potential teacher gives a lesson. The lessons are provided by VIPKID and seem to be designed well for young students. Teachers only need to worry about delivering engaging instruction. There is a lot of emphasis on smiling, having high energy, and speaking clearly. It is easy to accomplish if you review all of the study materials beforehand. I was very pleased with the hiring process overall.
