Pros

You have a flexible schedule. And it's so fun to meet and get to know most of the students. It really is a fun job.

Cons

VIPTeacher treats their teachers like crap! If there's any problems at all, even when it's not warranted, you will still be dinged. They NEVER change anything in favor of the teachers. And they will review your account (1-2 week freeze while they decide if they'll keep your contract or not) way too often and easily! As teachers, we should not be living in fear of any problems at all happening in our lives or with our equipment! The pay is way lower than it should be. We used to be paid a lot better.

Pros

Work as much or as little as you want. Great kids and parents. Can work one-on-one with students.

Cons

Early hours or late hours. You teach students in Asia so you will be working either very late at night, through the night, or early in the morning.

Pros

Tech support people are sweet. Teaching leaders try to give support and encouragement, when they're not referring more teachers (they get bonuses if their referrals are hired) in spite of there being NO classes for new teachers for weeks if at all.

Cons

Extremely low to zero bookings, platform does nothing to promote current teachers, pay is 40% less than what it was when VIPKid. Everything in my CV, profile, videos etc. are stellar, so it's not that. Do not depend on this for urgent income or you will be screwed. A side gig at best. Jury is still our whether I stick it out much longer.
