      anything really. you can tell most children books by how simple the sentences are and the use of words describing sound, like CRASH, PUSH, BAM, CRACKLE. so if you find something like that online your good to go.

    Are you looking for teachers who have American accent only? I have a clear english pronunciation but not the American accent.

    I don't have a clean background. I teach for another company so my background is colorful and bright with letters, a map and a banner. Will my background be looked on as good or bad for the application video?

      I agree. The application video really should be longer. I just applied for the second time. I always get nervous on the video because it has to be so short. I'm scared I won't finish in time and my nervousness usually shows.

    I have permission to use a brief teaching clip with one of my students; may I substitute it for a personal intro/story? All my personal info is on the resume I'm submitting.

    If you are an older person middle-aged or older can you be accepted? Everyone in these examples are in their early 20s.

      You can be accepted! That is a coincidence, promise! We have many elder teachers and value their insight as well.

      I appreciate this reply and would love to see the divesity of teachers in the video selection. That would include various accents, which seems to be a frequent question here! Thank you for ALL of this! It is so positive!

Preparing Your Teaching Background Hi Qkids teachers!

Hope you are having a good week. Today Momo wants to share with you some helpful tips about how to set up your awesome teaching background.

A messy, unorganized background will not only distract students but also negatively impact your teacher rating. Your teaching style, outfit, lighting, and background all factor into your overall class rating.
