Congratulations! You've passed the interview...but not so fast, my friend! You are not actually hired until after you've signed your contract. BUT, consider yourself well on your way toward becoming the next VIPKID teacher!
This step is called "Teaching Prep" because it's an opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with VIPKID's policies, curricula, and teaching techniques. Are you a note taker or an avid learner? This may just be your favorite step!
In order to complete this step, I suggest setting aside a few hours of time (uninterrupted or in chunks) so that you can become friendly with all things VIPKID. You'll want to be sure to access the VIPKID portal via a desktop computer or laptop rather than a smaller device (sorry, phone lovers).
As the final part of the "Teaching Prep" phase, you'll take a short, multiple-choice quiz that will have approximately 30 questions. Be sure to read each question carefully, as some questions may have multiple correct answers. If you don't pass the first time, don't sweat it; simply revisit the materials where you missed answers and retake the quiz. You can attempt the quiz numerous times. Rather than a source of anxiety, think of the quiz as a chance for you to check your own knowledge.
Note that the resources that you'll read and the videos that you'll watch will remain available to you after you are hired. You are not expected to be an expert about VIPKID but, rather, an informed candidate!
Up next...get ready for the mock class! Be sure to check out Step 4 for tips!
