      Pros

      It's fun teaching English to kids. VIPKid prepares all of the lesson plans.

      Cons

      It's very hard to get bookings so we don't make very much money. The payments are very low. IT issues are very had to fix. It's tough getting up in the middle of the night to teach kids who are 13 hours ahead of my time zone.

      We're sorry that you've had a bad experience. Feel free to open a ticket with the keywords glassdoor. We'll do our best to point you in the right direction, and if you have any more feedback we'd be happy to hear it and share it internally.

        It has it's good parts, but not stable and not predictable, not enough personal freedom

        Pros

        Choose your own time, Do it from home, lots of support and resources, great community of teachers

        Cons

        You don't really know what happens on the back end of the 'algorithms' and how parents actually book you, it's very biased and depends a lot on luck at first. Appearance matters. -Pay was decreased and VIPKid is constantly trying to find ways to make you work more for less money

      I want to give my 2 weeks notice this week but my boss is traveling internationally for work and have her calendar fully blocked. Should I just send an email or call her phone? Sorry for the stupid question but I’ve been in the same company for 9 years and I don’t know what’s the standard re: giving notice in a situation like this. I want to leave on good terms

      Hello, Please be kind. I’m so out of the loop and beat down, and may have posted this in a wrong group. I have been at my job 11 years, applied for a new job out of my organization. Posting closed last Mon. Tues at 4:40 they emailed to request an interview and wanted my top days/times for upcoming M-W. I responded with pref Wed afternoon as 1, Tues early or late as 2 or 3. I have not heard a response. I have to figure out an excuse to go on Tues to leave work. Is this normal to keep hanging on?

      hi , I’m new here 👋 I have an interview coming up and I’m struggling on how to answer the “tell me about yourself statement question.” I personally don’t like to talk about myself and have the tendency to start talking about me but then I end up talking about what’s on my resume 🤦‍♀️ any advice ?
