Pros

Worked with vipkid for 5 years, they made some changes and rate of pay is lower. I had gotten very sick a few times and missed some classes resulting in termination of contract twice. I would still be teaching w/them if I hadnt had my contract terminated due to cancelations, their cancellation policy is very very strict and inflexible if you get sick or have an emergency. The kids are GREAT to work with and the pay is better than some crummy retail job! You feel like you're making a difference. If you're a creative person, this job is great because you can use your creativity to create props and rewards for the students. I loved this job, one of the best "regular" jobs i've had outside of making art & music.

Cons

strict cancellation policy, pay rate has dropped, not enough bookings

Unless you teach a lot of classes, the pay will not change no matter how long you are with the company.

Pros

I took time off when the company experienced student downturn. They have more students now.

Cons

I was receiving $9/class + $2 incentives before. Now it is $7/class with tiered incentives. I do not make as much

Pros

- great pay -flexible schedule -lots of bookings -book time off in advance -material provided -more you teach more money you are able to earn ( kind of like a raise) - still get paid if the student cancels in 24 hours or does not show

Cons

-no help if you are sick and need to cancel so I have to teach sick (if you cancel too many classes you get terminated, only 6 allowed every 6 months) - very slow to get help and change classes if the level is incorrect for the student

Pros

I started with VIPKid well before the 2021 government regulations regarding tutoring. It was a great place to find flexible, part-time education work.

Cons

Fewer classes are available due to current regulations.

Pros

Early morning schedule worked with my needs as a single mom of 6 kids

Cons

Completely inflexible regarding emergencies. I had to cancel classes a few days in a row due to caring for my dying father. VIPKID just kicked me out of the platform, cancelled all my scheduled classes. I never even got to say goodbye to my students that I had been teaching 2-3 times a week for years.

Pros

- payments are almost always on-time - tech help in-classroom - can teach an unlimited amount of classes - earnings can be profitable

Cons

- financial repercussions for missed classes (even for blackouts, emergency situations) - can be difficult to build up client base - unpredictable schedule - most hours take place in the early mornings or late evenings
