VIPKID REVIEW Meet Whitney, VIPKID Teacher and Stay-at-Home Mom Whitney and her husband have been married for 3 years. They have a dorkie named Tinkerbell and a 19-month-old girl known as Scout online. How Do You Earn Money From Home Through VIPKID? I have been teaching online with VIPKID for over a year. I am an independent contractor and teach Chinese children ages 5-12 hours a day, six days per week. I've also been a teacher and recruiter for Magic Ears and Cambly. Magic Ears is very similar except it is up to four students at a time. Cambly is video chatting with people all over the world to help them practice English. How Many Hours Per Week Do You Work With VIPKID? I teach around 24-30 hours per week for VIPKID. What Are Your VIPKID Hours? How Do You Get Work Done With A Kid At Home? I teach from 4:00-8:00 a.m. while my daughter sleeps. I sleep with her during naps sometimes to catch up on sleep. You get to pick your own schedule to work when it fits best with your daily routine with kids. How Much Money Do You Make Working From Home? I earn about $2,300-2,500 per month for teaching and recruiting. How Much Does VIPKID Pay Per Hour? VIPKID states they pay online teachers $14-$22 per hour to work from home. VIPKID teachers start at $7-9 per class base pay. While I can't disclose my actual rate, I can say that most teachers I've talked to start around $8 per class. Classes are 25 minutes, so that comes to $16/hour. You get an extra $1 per hour just for showing up and teaching the class, and you get another $1 per class if you teach 45 in a month. That brings the typical VIPKID pay to $10 per class or $20 per hour. What Is A Typical VIPKID Salary? I usually earn $2,000 each month just in teaching, making my annual online teaching salary around $24,000. 6 days x 4 hours x $20 per hour = $480 per week. $480 x 4 weeks = $1,920 per month. + a couple of extra days most months = $2,000 per month * Update: I recently added an hour a day, so now it's more like $2,500 per month based on the $8 average. I also am a recruiter and help other teachers get started with VIPKID. VIPKID pays me for each referral, and I usually get 1-3 of those per month.

How Does Your Income Compare To When You First Started? I just got a raise with VIPKID, so I now make $1/hour more. I also work more hours, but that's due to my own scheduling changes. So your pay does typically increase over time. What Does Your Typical Day Look Like As a Work-From-Home Mom? I finish teaching around 8:00 a.m. and then often lay down with my daughter until she wakes up. Sometimes I'll work on videos to help recruits or current teachers during that time. While my daughter is awake, I try to be totally focused on her, though I often spend a lot of time on Facebook trying to find referrals. I'm trying to cut that time down and be more present with her when she's up. Referrals are not required for this job, but they do help bring in extra income.
