VIPKID Application Rejected

Why Was My VIPKID Application Rejected?

ByLaura Peters

As a veteran teacher withVIPKID, one of the most common questions I receive is, “why was my VIPKID application rejected?” Considering VIPKID only has a few requirements for potential teachers, being denied during the hiring process can be confusing and frustrating.

在这篇文章中,您将了解VIPKID到底是什么looking for in potential teachers and why your application might have been rejected. You’ll also learn how to reapply to VIPKID if you meet the required standards.

VIPKID Application Requirements

There are a handful of important requirements for teaching with VIPKID. Four of these requirements are non-negotiable; without these, you can expect to have your VIPKID application rejected immediately:

1.A Bachelor’s degree in any subject

2. Two years of experience working with children. This could be mentoring, coaching, tutoring, nannying, babysitting, anything!

3. Eligibility to work in the United States or Canada. EXCEPT FOR CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, AND WASHINGTON STATE.

4.A neutral North American accent

Important VIPKID Requirements Update 2020

As of December 1st, VIPKID can no longer hire teachers from the states of California, New York, or Washington.

Recent laws were passed in these states in regards to independent contractors. This law was meant to affect Uber and Lyft drivers but subsequently affects VIPKID teachers as well.

Why Did My VIPKID Application Get Rejected?

As stated above, the initial step of the VIPKID hiring process is automated. If your VIPKID application was rejected, that means one of the questions was answered incorrectly and did not meet VIPKID criteria.

Interestingly enough, eligible teachers fail this initial step often. There is one specific question on the application that confuses many applying teachers, so let’s address it.

At the bottom of the application, you’ll see a question that asks about teaching experience. The specific question reads: “How much teaching experience do you have?”

Many applicants assume that VIPKID is referring to teaching experience in a traditional setting. What they actually mean by this question is, “How much experience do you have WORKING with children?”

Why Was My VIPKID Application Rejected?

In order to pass the first step of the VIPKID application process, you must select 2+ years of “teaching” experience. Keep in mind, this could be teaching, mentoring, babysitting, parenting, coaching, etc.

So, if you did not select 2+ years of teaching experience, your VIPKID application was rejected.

Nine times out of ten, this is the question that applicants answer incorrectly. If this was NOT the question you answered incorrectly and you meet all of the other requirements, send me an email (laura@m.viveton.com) and I’ll help you solve the issue.

Can I Reapply To VIPKID?

If you answered the above question incorrectly, don’t worry. You will be able to submit a new VIPKID application if yours was rejected.

In order to reapply to VIPKID, start by logging out of your current VIPKID account. Using a new email address, start the application over. Remember to answer the questions carefully and pay special attention to the “teaching” experience question at the bottom.

VIPKID Application Rejected

When reapplying to VIPKID, I highly suggest using a referral code.

By using a referral code, you’ll have a veteran teacher help you through the hiring process. Since the hiring process can be quite daunting, having a veteran teacher there to answer any and all of your questions is extremely helpful and highly suggested by VIPKID.

If you don’t have a referring teacher yet, start byre-signing up for VIPKID with this link. Use referral code:LAURA0279, which will make me your mentor.

I’ll gladly help you through the process and get you teaching as soon as possible. Once you add me as your referral, send me an email so I know (laura@m.viveton.com)!

        You don’t live in California, right? Also, they might be asking for 2+ years of experience with children now. Did you select 2+ years?

      I live in New Jersey. However, my ID still says New York. Due to the pandemic, I have not been able to go into the DMV and change it. However, I do have my mail come here. Do you think this will be a problem?

      I really want to work for VIPKID – I applied and I was rejected, but I’m not sure if it’s because of my citizenship.

      Thank you,
