Wow Nancy! This video helps me so much while I am preparing for my mock 1. I have been teaching with another online platform for the past few months and all those videos made by VIP teachers are blowing my mind. It is really nice to see so many smiling teachers and I'm really motivated to be part of the community. I am so pumped to do my MOCK 1 thanks to you and the other great teachers who made videos as well. Getting you as my mentor would be the icing on the cake!

I have my interview in the morning - this is such an awesome video!! Clearly, Nancy, you have so much fun doing this! Love these videos. Can't wait to do my interview!!

[marissaweaver]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've watched so many of your videos since I started preparing for my initial interview almost 2 wks ago. You have been so helpful...wouldn't have made it without you! Now I'm prepping for my mock class 2 and was OVERJOYED to find your tip on teaching the memory game! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your helpful videos!!! I watched this particular video over and over to help prepare for Mock 1. I was just hired on!! Thanks again for investing your time in helping potential ESL teachers.

Hey Nancy! I have my first mock class Thursday night, I'm watching this video over and over. Thank you for all these tips !

[EricandNatalieHatfield]

Nancy. Just wanted to say thanks for your videos! Just passed my Mock 1 interview with no need for another! Your videos helped tremendously especially with better explaining/demonstrating how to give/model (complicated to ELL students) directions. Very excited to start teaching! Thanks again!

[ldangelolynde]

Outstanding presentation! Just priceless! You are a truly gifted and skilled teacher! You offer here great teacher training - I can't thank you enough. I taught college level foreign language for 20 years in a intensive interactive manner. But teaching children is a whole different skill set with different interactive teachniques. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

Hey, this is Francesca V. I have my first interview and mock class next week. I've learned so much from you today and have watched your videos over and over again. You are fantastic, engaging, fun and funny; sincere, authentic, omg, I could go on. Thank you for your videos and resources.

Because of your fantastic videos and enthusiasm for the company, I decided to apply to VIPKID. Thanks for the link to the website. I taught English conversation in Japan to children a long time ago, so I'm a little rusty. Your videos have reminded me of how much fun teaching non-English speaking kids a new language can be! I'm a little nervous about switching from in-person to online with young children, but with all of your tips and ideas I'm sure I'll get through it. My interview is in a little less than 48 hours so I'll continue to pour over your videos. Thanks again for this fantastic resource and introducing me to VIPKID!
