Extra Credit with Teacher Michael
Summary: A podcast about the world of online education. I've created this podcast as a way to share stories & learn from people who are using today's technology to teach things online. Some of my guests are like me, teaching English to students in China with companies like VIPKid, some create educational resources on platforms like Teachers Pay Teachers, some make tutorial videos on YouTube. The thing we all have in common is that we're using the internet to reach beyond the traditional classroom to share our ideas and expertise with the world. If that sounds interesting, you're in the right place and this podcast was made for YOU!

VIPKid Teacher Kaley stops by today to talk about some of her favourite reward systems, what it's like teaching as a stay-at-home mom, 5 Apple Chats and so much more!!
Michelle has yet to teach her 1st online student so I thought it would be nice to sit down with her and ask about her mindset as she begins this new adventure as an online teacher.
Teacher Erin is a YouTuber, online ESL teacher, Facebook group moderator, and one of VIPKid's top 5 referring teachers. She is an inspiration to so many in the online teaching community and today we sat down to talk about how she went from being an FSU circus performer to meeting the CEO of VIPKid.
Today I sat down for a great chat with veteran VIPKid Teacher Mandy. Mandy spoke about her experience as an online teacher, getting involved with the VIPKid community through her 5-Apple Chats, as well as her upcoming trip to China.
Garry is an actor, voice coach, university professor, and online ESL teacher with VIPKid. Today he sits down with us to chat about how he balances his life as an actor with his teacher life. If you're an actor or just looking to gain some insight into how an actor prepares to teach ESL online, this is the episode for you!!
Melissa is a work-from-home mother of two who just signed her second VIPKid contract. She has a very unique story to share, one that I think will motivate anyone who has been finding the world of online teaching difficult, overwhelming, or in any way intimidating. It was such a pleasure to speak with Melissa and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
I'm baaaaack!! And today's episode is for NEW VIPKid teachers. I'm going to share a few things I wish I knew in my first few months as an online teacher and we're also going to hear from fellow Brand Ambassador Jennifer as well as Teacher John.
In 2017 Wally, his wife and their 5 children sold everything and began a travel adventure some people only ever dream about.
