I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at VIPKid (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied through Teach VIPKID's website and received a response quickly. The interview was scheduled for the next day and began promptly and the scheduled time. I was required to log in to their website to conduct a live online demo class. The class lasted 10 minutes at the end of which I was given feedback and told the hourly rate my performance had earned.
After the first interview, there was a short self-guided lesson and a fairly easy test. After that, I had 5 days to book a second mock class that would decide whether I got the job or not. I didn't attend this second interview as I received a better offer.
Pro: The system was easy to use, the expectations were clear and my interviewer was very professional. The scheduling is very flexible and allows you to reschedule up to 2 times for any reason.
Con: The interviewer often interrupted me to give advice for a minute at a time but didn't pause the timer. At the end, I was chided for time management and lost a good portion of my score. While the hourly rate advertised it 'up to' 22$ I was only offered 16$/h with a possible 2$ bonus for performance.
just a quick demo lesson following the course materials, then a few logistical questions and talk about the program. Was quite quick and easy overall if you have teaching experience..
Pretty simple! There was a live and recorded portion where you "teach" a sample class. My interviewer was nice and helpful. Make sure your internet is good and use a wired connection
Easy and straight forward interview process. There is a demo teaching section. This was a while ago so it may have changed. The onboarding process was also easy. Again, this was a while ago, so it may have changed.
