      Pros

      The best thing is working from home and being finished teaching by 9AM so you have your days free.

      Cons

      Getting up early is the biggest con, but you get used to it.

      Pros

      Easy to do from home. No commute, no child care, no savvy business clothes, no commuting in the snow, and the best part is every day is "bring your cat to work day!" My cat, Bootsie, loves my job as much as I do! No kidding, I've had parents post reviews on my cat! The kids love it! Payment is once a month. I don't mind that because then it its a big check. You know what to expect and money is in the account on time....

      Cons

      You'll read that there is not enough work. I don't think that is accurate. I've been with VIPKID going on six months. My first contract is at an end. My first month I made $55.00. The next month I more than doubled that, and every month after has been going higher and higher. I am now teaching about five hours a day and making very good money for wearing pajama bottoms and an orange t-shirt. My monthly is in the four...

      Advice to Management

      I have never had a problem with management. They encourage teachers to have "Meet Ups" and network. I'm going to my first one on Friday. Management offers advancement opportunities and the ability to get more certifications, which equates to more money. That is a good thing. The one negative thing you always hear about is the recruitment process. They now have meet ups in the big cities where prospective teachers can...

      Flexible hours Great pay Meeting some great students Keeping your mind healthy by continuing to study and teach

      Cons

      With already working 65-70 hours per week, being a husband, a father to three daughters, and being a school principal, adding an extra 25+ hours per week in my schedule can be a bit arduous.

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the good work and keep the teaching materials (PPTs, etc.) fresh!!

      Pros

      VIPKID has been life changing. It reintroduced me to teaching, the money is good, and the students are awesome. I work full time for my family business, so VIPKID is "part time" for me. Those few hours, first thing in the morning, are the BEST part of my day. Just me, a cup of coffee (or three), and some awesome ESL classes. I like being able to open up just how many spots I want to open. They all book. I've been with...

      Cons

      Communication and news releases is slow to trickle down to the "teacher" side. This isn't necessarily a "con," but just a representation of how most big corporations are.

      Advice to Management

      Release more "news" to the teachers BEFORE that news is actually active (re: platform changes, regulations, etc...) - Saying something about a trending topic does wonders for assuaging fear. Thank you for this experience, by the way! VIPKID has truly made my family's life better.

      I have been working at VIPKid

      Pros

      This job is great. I started three weeks ago and have taught 45 classes and made $422 my first check. I’m not sure what’s going on but everybody wants me to be their teacher it seems like. Be yourself. Be positive. And go get it. But remember… stay focused

      Cons

      Honestly there is nothing bad about this company. You have to want it.
