No, VIPKID is a pain. I tried it after having lived in China teaching to Chinese college students in person. I had a terrible experience with VIPKIDS. I could recommend much better online English teaching companies to you if that is what interests you.

Note: VIPKIDS do NOT pay you what they claim they will. They also don't allow you to cancel lessons. So, if you're deathly ill, too bad, you still have to teach from 4 a.m. to noon.

I remember when I interviewed with a representative in Hong Kong for VIPKID and having lived in China, expected more transparency than I was given about the job, the training and the pay. I tried it for a month before I quit. If I ever teach English online again, I will use other companies whose curriculum comes with teacher instructions on the slides, whose customer service is prompt, whose English is as good as mine, and who pays what their website claims.

1. You will be considered "absent" and will not get paid if you are more than 5 minutes late logging into your account. Your lesson will auto cancel and you will lose face with your student and their family. Losing face is a huge faux pas in Eastern culture.
2. They will take forever to pay you and they take a HUGE portion of your hourly wage before they pay you. Huge portion.
3. Their clients are parents with K-8 children who are already learning English but want to fast-track it, so you will have 20-30 minutes per client and VIPKIDS will stack you back to back with students for 5 to 8 hours where you start at 4 a.m. in the morning due to the massive time difference.
4. Their curriculum is so unclear it's about guessing what they want. You teach with slides and most of the time, there's no guidelines which is what you are supposed to have, when you create a teacher lesson plan.
5. Their contracts are only 6 months long and they can't guarantee that you'll be working every day. But you'll agree in your contract to be "on call" every morning by 4 am "just in case" a student needs you to tutor or teach or coach them on a lesson plan.
6. Many of the younger students will have temper tantrums and scream at you in Mandarin or Cantonese which will upset their parents, who will report you to VIPKIDS. Teaching 2-3 year olds English is no easy task.
7. The English of the VIPKIDS staff is poor to none as their emails demonstrate. And they can take forever to get back to you.
