VIPKID and RV Life!

-


This is how we do it! My name is Janette M.  Come join this ultimate adventure!  
 I have been with VIPKID for 18 months. I have over 750 kids come and go from my class, I have about 15 regulars but many who come for one or more classes. I work about 20 hours a week.  I love my job, I love my kiddos, and I love my road life.  I took over our dining table!  The shelf is strapped down with luggage straps.  During travel, it is wrapped with a sheet and clipped so nothing flies off.  The lamps are laid down and the computer is set down off the height, but everything stays put. 

Last summer I worked two jobs, this and cleaning at a KOA, it was not always easy but it was an adventure. I have taught from TX to WY, from WY to TN, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Niagara Falls, Gettysburg PA, Elizabethtown PA, Heiskell TN, and most parts in between! 

Small spaces, no problem. Teach from home! Work mornings and/or evenings, take the classes that help you to get started, make up to $22 an hour or $7-$11 a class. Show up every class, prepared and ready to rock someones world and have fun doing it. There are several steps in getting hired. APPLYING TO TEACH WITH VIPKID
 The nuts and bolts: basic requirements

• BA or above
• 1 year teaching experience
• Experience with the American/Canadian school system 

 Stage 1 – Applicant screening: Make sure you give us the full run down. We want to know everything, and we mean it!


Stage 2 – Interview and Demo lesson; Think of this as a fit interview. We can explore whether VIPKID is the place for you! There are TWO methods for taking the interview/demo:
1. FACE-TO-FACE INTERVIEW with someone in Beijing, followed by a demo lesson. It will last around 30 minutes in total.
2. RECORDED INTERVIEW and submit the demo lesson. If you choose this format there won’t be anyone in the classroom with you, so you must use your imagination and classroom experience to teach the lesson. You will have 10 minutes to cover 10 slides. If you get through this stage you will receive a Conditional Contract, contingent on you
passing Mock Class and Initial Teacher Preparation. 
 Stage 3 ITP– Initial Teacher Preparation
The goal in this stage is to pass a quiz. The training videos take a few hour to watch and they will teach you all about cancelling classes, curriculum, scheduling and policies. You must get 80% or above on the quiz.

Stage 4 – Mock 1 and Mock 2 Mocks Classes are an hour long, and they are essentially pretend classes designed to see how you handle the online classroom. 

 For Mock Class 1 you will teach two levels: Level 2 (Beginner) Letter Xx; Level 5 (Intermediate)“My Country, My Culture”. You start by teaching Level 2 slides for 12 minutes, then there are 10 to 15 minutes for feedback, then you teach Level 5 slides before receiving final feedback. In this stage you will be assessed with two different rubrics. If you pass for Beginner levels, you may start teaching these levels and after 100 classes, you can apply for a level certification to teach older students. And vice versa. You may also be invited to take Mock Class 2. 
 For Mock Class 2 you will teach just one level, which is the one you scored higher for in
Mock 1 stage. For Beginner levels, you will teach the Letter Pp. For intermediate levels, you
will teach new slides called “Earth: Our Home”, which talks about environmental protection.
If at any point you feel like you are receiving contradictory information, or are confused by
the process, please email teachvip@vipkid.com.cn.
Apply at t.vipkid.com.cn and use my code https://www.vipkidteachers.com/activity/popup…

When I see you have applied I will send you an email to welcome you.  Check your junk mail. It will say VIPKID on it.

We are back

 It's been a while right?   A lot has happened since the last time.   We sold Roonie about 2 years ago.  She was a great rig.  She took us to places we never dreamt of going.  We were in Vidalia LA, Beaver UT, Omaha NE, and Montana a few times. We put about 40,000 miles on her.  We crisscrossed America.  Highways and Bi-ways, National Parks, and a few state parks.  We worked at different KOA's for 7 seasons.   Roonie went to a new home and we got Gracie Royale.  Gracie had low miles on it and she has not run the US as much yet, but she is gearing up to.   Mary passed over the Rainbow Bridge the day after Thanksgiving.  We always told her when she was ready, let us know.  She did.  She was an amazing girl. Mary was prescribed by a doctor in FL. Her story is truly one of a fighter who wanted to live.    Life goes on right?   With the Sudden death of my son, at the age of 39 at the end of February, and the two non-speaking-to-us children we have- one just delivered her final blow,

Because He loves you.

When you start reading different stories in the Word of God, you begin to realize that perfect people were not in the Bible.  So why do we think we have to be perfect first before we come to the Lord.  We don't, that's the beauty of it.  He turns our lives around, he accepts us just for who we are.  Some have done so much in their short life that they wonder if they can ever be accepted or forgiven.  I am here to tell you, Jesus saves.  He loves us regardless how we view ourselves or feel about ourselves.  He brings us out of the pit of despair, the pit of hell, the grip of the enemy.  He does and he finds us valuable in His Kingdom, even if the world doesn't.  He finds us and lifts us up to be something great.  We all have calls on our lives, but it's what you do with that knowledge and call that determines your outcome.  But I have to say sometimes we put ourselves into such a pit that we can not see how we can get out of it.  When we can't seem to see a way

Waiting/Wading in The UNTILS

  What does that mean?  Waiting OR Wade in the Untils !    We all wait OR WADE for or in the UNTILS  a few times in our lives.  We wait until we get married, or our children start school, or until  our debts are paid off, or until our kids graduate, or until this or until that.  UNTIL death do us APART- our wedding vows.  The Meaning of UNTIL is... until ŭn-tĭl′ - a  preposition Up to the time of. Before (a specified time). Unto; to. We ALL wait for the UNTILS!   What is your UNTIL?  Our UNTIL is ever-changing, much like everyone else's.   Sometimes we even tell our loved ones that UNTIL you change, this won't happen!   But friends, if you want change you have to be the change first.   Our UNTILS were hard as many of yours may be too!   Wait until the cancer treatment is over, wait until we get to where we can settle down.  Wait until we know the schedule to add any more to it.  We sit on wait, waiting on UNTIL!   But UNTIL what?   Sometimes the wait is HARD, sometimes it is a
