Qkids Blog

Hello, my name is Tiffany. I can be found mostly around ESL communities bragging about Qkids and my desperate need for Coffee in IV form. I like to sing and dance. I homeschool my 3 kiddos and have a zoo! Really we just have a lot of pets, but close enough. I wanted to write about the BIGGEST impact Qkids has made on my and my family’s life. That’s right. Not just me but my entire family. Check us out. This photo is an oldie, but a goodie.

A little about me and my not so tiny, family. I have been married for 10 years and our 3 children are 7, 5 and 3 years old. Plus, our pets (so many pets!). We have several family hobbies that include dog sports (like dock diving, herding, Schutzhund, and AKC obedience and rally), learning about bees and beekeeping, blacksmithing, crocheting, casting metal, and I make soaps sometimes. We mostly do all of these as a family.  A Story About Me
To give an idea of how Qkids has helped change my life: From 2007-2016 I was a full-time professional dog trainer …

My name is Chayla Soden. I am a current Qkids teacher from the United States. I am passionate about my active studies of English Writing and Literature, Philosophy, and Religion. I am a freelance writer and teacher with Qkids and stay-at-home mom of my son, Brett. I have a male Rottweiler and a female German Shepherd, one rescue cat, and two prairie dogs. Makeup?Classes start 10 minutes earlier than they used to and November 3rd has already passed! I thought now would be a perfect time to talk about how some of us Qkids teachers get ready in 10 to 20 minutes! We’ll go over a few different methods in this blog: all-natural, freshly washed and moisturized, a full face of makeup, or a combination of any of these.At the end of this blog, I have attached all of the makeup and skincare products that I use. I have spent hundreds of dollars finding all the right products for me and maybe this will help you save that kind of money! All-NaturalFor a lot of teachers, we love to go natural. Do you …

Hello, my name is Sandra Morales, but my students refer to me as Teacher Sandy. I have been working for Qkids for a little over a year. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and have worked with students of all ages since my graduation. My favorite student will forever be my son, whom I homeschooled for two years. Education has always been important to my family. In terms of short-term goals, I obtained my 120 hour TESOL certificate to be better prepared to teach my Qkids students. When it comes to my long-term goals, I plan to be an excellent blog writer for Qkids along with teaching a full schedule. Within the next two years, I plan on working towards my Master's in English. I always ask each of my students in class what their favorite color, animal, and food is. Therefore, I only see it as fitting to close with my favorites, which are purple, panda, and chicken with rice.
You’ve Got the Right Stuff!This blog is for all the New Teachers on the Qkids Block. One of the biggest is…

Hello! My name is Katie (aka Teacher Katie) and I have been with Qkids since January 2018. Aside from teaching, I also help guide new and prospective Qkids teachers throughout their online teaching journey. I love to share my adventures with teaching, traveling, and my family through Instagram and YouTube!
As a teacher, I love to help others! I receive messages and questions from new teachers just as often as I hear from prospective applicants, and I am happy to meet every single one of them! One of the most common questions from new teachers is about time management with Qkids lessons. Time management is probably the trickiest skill for new teachers to grasp. In 30 minutes our goal is to lead students through approximately 10-14 slides. Add in other factors, like working with multiple students in a new interactive program, and time management can seem overwhelming. Read along for some helpful timing tips! Tip #1 Review lessons beforehand Let me be honest: I did not pick up time managem…
