DEVICE
Laptop or desktop computer, Mac or PC.
You can teach from an iPad once you’re hired, but cannot complete the interview or Mock classes with one.
HEADSET
​
-
Use a headset with a microphone and stable output and input.
-
You can test your microphone and sound inside the VIPKid classroom by clicking “Settings.”
-
Earbud headphones work fine as long as they have a microphone.
-
If you are going to buy a new headset, I recommend this one. They are affordable, comfy, noise cancelling, and have a mic on/off button (great for sneezing and coughing).
CAMERA
​
-
HD External camera or HD integrated camera. Most laptops will have one.
-
You can test your microphone and sound inside the VIPKid classroom by clicking “Settings.”
RECOMMENDED TECH
ETHERNET CABLE
​
If you can, it is always a good idea to plug directly into your internet with an ethernet cable
instead of using WiFi. This will ensure a steady internet connection during your VIPKID class
and will reduce video and audio lag. If your laptop does not have a port for this, you can buy a USB adaptor.
BRIGHT WHITE LIGHTS
​
You always want your face to be well lit when you are teaching. Teaching in front of a window with natural light shining on your face isn't always possible, so we use these bright white lights to simulate natural light.
