How has working for Qkids for a whole year changed the life of Teacher Rebecca? We will let her tell you about all the positive benefits she has experienced in her first year with us!

My name is Rebecca Frostad and I am a 36-year-old married mother of one precocious 20-month-old. We are currently working on immigrating to Canada, where my husband is from. I have been teaching with Qkids for a year, and it has been an exciting and growing experience. I hope that my posts will be something that readers can find amusing, enlightening, and relatable. The familiar sound of my alarm begins to crescendo and break the (relative) silence of the early morning. The sun hasn't even considered getting up yet, but I'm already dressed and closing the bedroom door. Although I am not a morning person, I enjoy the calm stillness as I prepare for work. My husband and baby are still asleep in the other room, and the only sounds I hear from my desk chair are the occasional vehicle passing by outside…

Dear all, I am Hilary Tong from the Qkids Coaching Team! To share a little about myself, I graduated from college in 2017 with a Degree in Communication and Minor in Music. I went to Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia and loved the people there. I also loved the southern homemade food and sweet tea! So far it has been a great experience working at Qkids. In my spare time, I love to sing, dance, listen to K-pop music, read, and draw. Nice to meet everyone! :) Mid-Autumn FestivalIt’s that time of the year, when you walk in the supermarket, red boxes of mooncakes lay nicely on the shelves.Everyone is looking forward to the holiday weekend and minds are wondering about plans to go home to visit families or other holiday plans like going shopping.

Timing Secrets How to extend your lessons to maximize student-teacher time efficiently and effectively!

You just finished your mandatory two trial classes with Qkids and something happened: you went too fast or, woah, too slow during your class! Don't worry! Most of us make this mistake when we first start with Qkids, too. I went too fast in one trial and then too slow in another trial, and it wasn't until the third trial that I got hired with Qkids! I made it a point to figure out how to time my cla…

Today Teacher Kimberly shares with us how would she adjust her teaching style to accommodate students of different proficiency levels?
Just to give a little background about myself: I live in Nevada with my awesome husband and two children. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing and started my nursing career in 2008. I’ve worked in many different areas including neurology, trauma, orthopedics, and research. My hobbies include crafting and crocheting. Qkids is awesome and unique in that classes are mixed with students of different ages and proficiency levels. Sometimes you get students who understand the material and breeze through the slides, while other times, you experience classes where, 1, 2 or all students need a little more assistance.  What do you do to keep the class interesting, fun and still meet the objectives of the lesson? More specifically, how would you teach a class with students of different proficiency levels? You want to avoid boring students who grasp the con…

Crystal is a jack-of-all-trades from southern Georgia with certification in Early Childhood Development and years of experience in tutoring, teaching, writing, and carpentry among a wide variety of other things.

She loves drawing and everything related to cats.  In being with the company for almost two years, I've had so many wonderful experiences and met so many delightful kids! The students each are so unique with their personalities, adaptability, and how they perform in class. They brim with curiosity, engage with enthusiasm, and work hard to succeed! As a teacher, you try to prepare for each lesson so it …
