Reviews about Pay & benefits for English Teacher at VIPKid
Flexible work from Home position
Online English Language Teacher (Current Employee) - Waterloo, ON - 30 July 2020
Vipkid has been pretty good for me so far. The course work is fairly well presented. The students are the best part of the job, and also the hardest part. It can be both very rewarding and very tiring.
Pros
Make own schedule, work from home.
Cons
Early working hours, have to work a lot.

At least it's an online job
Children's English Instructor - Online (Current Employee) - Home Based - 8 November 2019
Flexibility is the main benefit. No guaranteed hours, so it's up to teachers to cultivate a following and hopefully get bookings. Not best pleased with the responses from Admin when trouble-shooting or asking for a small salary increase after 5 contracts.

Many promises, not a lot of money.
Online English Language Teacher (Current Employee) - Kingston, ON - 26 November 2017
Trying to fill up your schedule is the luck of the draw. If you are a male teacher, you will be booked solid from the second you open your available time slots. If you are a female teacher, you need to know that it will take weeks or months before you will see a full schedule. Then, you are at the mercy of parents' reviews - they don't understand what assessments are and will trash your rating by accusing you of not teaching their child. You will live or die by their reviews.
Pros
Supposedly, one can "make their own schedule" but peak times are determined.
Cons
Trying to live on the paltry salary.
