Thanks wordnerd! I passed my Mock 1 class, submitted my id, degree, 3 photos, 15 sec video, written intro, and signed the contract. Phew! This was a bit exhausting to get through. So if anyone else wants to get started, I suggest being mentally prepared to spend hours watching videos (it's slightly torturous to watch overly excited adults act like they are talking to a 5 year old, but I masochistically press play for the next one). Also have your demo and mock 1 practiced, set up your background/lighting, find props, select or take a professional looking pic and 2 casual pics of yourself all before you sign up. They give you a time limit to finish all this and if you don't (I didn't!) they will call you every night threatening to cancel the process and make you start over from the beginning interview. They don't really let you take your time going through the steps at your leisure. After you pass the demo, you only have 6 days to study VIPKID materials, watch more videos, take a quiz, schedule and complete your mock 1, which are 2 mini demo classes (15 min for a 5 year old and 10 min for an 8 year old). I realized this on day 6, and after I passed my demo, I went out of town for a few days and didn't check my email. They granted me an extension when I asked for one though. I haven't opened any slots yet to teach, but I'm going to take my time with that!
