Thanks a million for this video. I really needed it as I'm at the account information step in Native Camp application process. The video self-introduction tips were really inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing such amazing content with us.

To my surprise, Native Camp sent me an e-mail (after my video conference) stating that I am allowed to skip the demo and quiz! They encouraged me to register and now I am waiting for my profile approval before teaching. I am looking forward to continuing my journey in teaching ESL students since I can no longer be a Vipkid teacher with China's new rules and regulations. Thank you for your tips and for inspiring me!
