I am so thrilled to be able to share more resources and teacher finds with you.  This is just another platform to help me stay in touch and share ideas.  I hope that you'll join me!

Become an ESL online teacher!  Did I forget to mention that I've been a VIPKID teacher since February 2018?  I just signed my 6th contract today.

The things I love most about VIPKID

1. Choose your own schedule.

2. Work one-on-one, no group classes.

3. The lesson are already done, no planning!

The things I wish I knew about VIPKID

1. Early morning hours.  The prime times are 6-8 am Central time (until the time change).

2. Sometimes technology can be tricky, so you need a good internet connection and patience.

3. TPR (in other words lots of physical motions) and props

You can get certified in multiple levels and extra curriculum.  My favorite levels are 2 and 3 which range in age of kids from usually 5-12, depending on their English fluency.  I also teach grammar and pronunciation courses.  Again, all of the lessons are planned and you use slides to teach with.  Most of them are interactive for the students, meaning some things on the slides can be manipulated or can be drawn on.  Are there behaviors? Sometimes.  Are you nervous?  Sometimes.  Is it hard to get out of bed?  Most of the time.  But, in the end you are earning extra income and having fun teaching English and learning about Chinese culture.  If you have questions or would like help with the application and interview process I am here to help.  Just click on my referral link below and I'll reach out to assist any way that I can.  Happy Teaching!

It's been a while...

I've been away for quite some time.  I've had many things happen in the past few years that definitely took my attention away form the blog.  I moved to Germany and returned to Texas.  I had a baby while in Germany and was that a surprise.  I've bought two houses and moved from Dallas to Abilene.  I went from teaching 2nd grade, to 3rd grade, back to 2nd grade, and now Kindergarten.  Yep and it all was worth it!  I hope that I can refocus and keep up with this blog.  I still create resources and other things to use, and plan on sharing all of those ideas on here again.  So, stay tuned and know that I'me very grateful you've stuck around for this long.
