First, I interviewed with an employee in China. She gave me feedback on my lesson, both positive and items to tweak. Then, she explained how much I would be paid and some more important details. I had another interview with an experienced VIPKID tutor in which I had about an hour to showcase two lessons. When I got online an hour before to practice, all was working well. The time of the interview came and no one showed up. I waited for about five minutes and decided to refresh my session. She WAS there. By the time we got everything going, it was 20 minutes into my hour. I was flustered and couldn't figure out what to leave out of the sample lessons. She, too, gave me both positive feedback and things to work on. Then, I received an email the next day stating that I was not what they were looking for. Wow... 31 years in education successfully teaching ESL students and bam! Just like that. I replied to the email explaining what had happened with the second session, but they have never replied. That was four months ago. I realize that some people have had a wonderful experience with this company, but this initial process left a horrible taste in my mouth.

Quick and easy. They asked a few questions and then did a demo. After the demo I was able to the. Asked them for more information. I recieved an email saying they’d like to hire me and I accepted the offer.
