Eliminate incidental language, use props, and emphasize your TPR. The Mock Class Mentors are looking to see that you can speak slowly and clearly to them. The first Mock Class is supposed to represent a low level student. Precisely the items I bought – all for $1/each! The few items I’d say you can’t get by without are letter flash cards, a dry erase board, posters for your background, and maybe a puppet. If you already have stuff laying around the house, try to be resourceful. No one says you have to break the bank getting ready for something like this – in fact, I’d argue you shouldn’t. I went out to a Dollar Store and spent $5.00 on materials for my classroom. Step 4: Mock Class 1ĭon’t underestimate the importance of preparing for Mock Class 1. I failed it the first time I took it but received a passing score on my second attempt. You must pass this in order to move on with the process. If you have ANY questions, there is a very good chance they’ll be answered here.Īt the conclusion of the course, they require you to complete a short quiz. They cover TPR (total physical response), incidental language, learning levels, and more. The reason this step takes so long is because in addition to a decent amount of reading materials, they also provide very useful videos for you to watch and learn from. This is going to teach you everything you need to know about working with VIPKid. They essentially try to verify that your information is correct.Īt this stage, you’re going to have to complete a 2-3 hour online course. In mine, they did not ask any questions beyond the material asked on the initial application. The interview itself is extremely straightforward.

Be yourself! The interviewers are trying to judge if your personality and character has what it takes to be a successful, energetic, and fun English teacher. If you don’t have one (I didn’t) then I’d suggest buying one. It is probably a good idea to wear an orange t-shirt to show some brand awareness. At this point, you’ll want to start thinking about the smaller details.
