Learn how to use the Power Slots Guild
What is the Power Slots Guild?
The Power Slots Guild, or “the Guild” as we like to call it, is an exclusive club you can join in order to use your tokens to increase your chances of being booked by purchasing Power Slots.
What are Power Slots and gems?
When students finish a class with a teacher whose time slot was a Power Slot, they are rewarded with gems, which are the students’ version of tokens. Gems can be redeemed for special rewards on the Student Portal.

How can I check my progress?
Once you join the activity you can track your progress. You can see how many Power Slots you have, and how many have been booked. You can also see how many Power Slots have been finished, which means how gems have been given to your students.
You can also check the class details below.
What does a student need to do in order to get gems?
There are four Finish Types that will allow students to get their gems:
1. As Scheduled
2. Teacher IT Problem
3.Teacher No Show
Students can still receive their gems if the class is interrupted due to a System IT Problem. VIPKid will cover this part for you if that happens.
Since Power Slots are very popular among students you should be prepared that once opened, that slot has a very high chance of being booked. Therefore, you should only open slots that you are sure you will be able to teach.
We hope you will enjoy the Power Slots Guild, and gain an increase in bookings!
