I never thought the perfect career path for me would be online teacher, but here we are! Just in case you're on the fence about whether or not this company is for you, here are my top 10 reasons I love VIPKid! As with any job, there are pros and cons. However, the pros definitely outweigh the cons in my opinion. So, here we go!
1. LOCATION
It is a work-from-home job! This allows me to stay home with my kids, save on gas money and commute time, and prioritize my family.
2. PAY
It pays well, especially considering it's a job you can do in your yoga pants!
3. HOURS
The hours are convenient for moms. You can teach early mornings or late nights, so you don't have to be away from your kids. Due to the odd hours, some people use VIPKid as a part-time job in addition to their main job.
4. STUDENTS
The kids are absolutely precious! The vast majority of them are well-mannered, very intelligent, and so sweet!!
5. CURRICULUM
The curriculum is completely laid out for you. Just take a quick look over the material, grab a few props and a reward, and you're good to go.
6. DRESS CODE (Or lack thereof)
As long as you're appropriate, you can pretty much wear what you want. I either wear a plain t-shirt or VIPKid branded one and a pair of yoga pants.
7. PERKS
The company offers various perks for completing training and classes. These range from gift cards to cash to VIPKid branded items.
8. STARTUP COST
The startup costs are very minimal. The only things you need are a computer, headset, educational background, Internet access, and a few props. The props can be as simple as a banana, cup, or pen.
9. COMMUNITY
There are many Facebook groups related to VIPKid. There's one for Christians, one for people from the Carolinas, one for moms...the list goes on and on. If you have any questions or concerns, there are thousands of teachers who can help you at a moment's notice. It's also a great way to collaborate and share ideas.
10. PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
The company provides many opportunities for professional development, ranging from TEFL and TESOL certification to curriculum development and more. It's a great way to have a voice in the company and gain experience in the ESL arena.
So, that's my top 10 reasons for loving VIPKid! Thanks so much for reading. I hope this gave you some insight into what it's like to be a VIPKid teacher. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Have a wonderful day!
Until next time,
