If you're ready to make a difference in the world of a child, you might be wondering what your job options actually are. The truth is that you don't need a lot of experience or even a lot of time to be able to make a difference in the world. Teaching English online can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only will you get to teach kids around the globe, but you'll get to make money doing it! Here's what you need to know.

The Hours are Flexible

One thing that concerned me about VIPKid was that the hours might conflict with my other commitment; however, the great thing about this school is that you can work as much or as little as you want. VIPKid is open during daytime hours in China. If you're in America, like me, this means you can expect to be able to work between 7:30pm CST and 9:00am CST. I love this! I typically work each morning for a few hours and then I take a couple of nighttime shifts each week as a way to make extra money for my family while teaching children overseas.

The Children are Fun

VIPKid classes are fun! I wasn't prepared to laugh or play as much as I get to in my classes. The kids are excited and engaged. Of course, there can always be a class where a student might feel a little shy or nervous, but typically, kids are pretty interested in the lessons and are excited to learn.

The Curriculum is Planned

One of the best things about VIP Kid is that you don't have to stress about anything. The lessons are totally planned for you. You'll need to provide your own props and in some classes, you'll need a reward system, but this is pretty simple and easy. As far as the actual lesson, you don't need to worry about making quizzes or grading papers.

The Pay is Great

Your base pay will vary based on your work experience and how you interview, but VIPKid will offer a per-class payment. This can range from $7-$9 per class. You'll also get a dollar for each class successfully completed, a bonus for completing a certain number of classes, and $2 for short notice bookings. This means the dollars really add up, especially if you teach a lot of classes.
