Vipkid is a great company!

Business Outlook

Pros

Vipkid helps children become better prepared for the future by providing the best ESL teachers. They help mothers work from home while taking care of their own children. They help seniors like myself have a reason to get up in the morning as they look forward to seeing their students’ sweet faces. People/teachers come and go but companies such as Vipkid will continue regardless of new changes mandated by their government. We will wait and see what the future holds for all of us! We teachers will vomiting do what we were trained to do - teach!

Cons

Teachers have an employee mentally. They do not know what it means to be in business for yourself. This they do not realize all the benefits that are given to them by this wonderful company.

Business Outlook

Pros

I am not naturally a morning person, but I came to love the early morning hours of teaching, then having the rest of my day free for other things. I have loved that they had the curriculum set up for us, and that they encouraged suggestions for improving the lessons.

Cons

Unfortunately, due to government regulations in China, things seem to be coming to an end, at least for teaching as we have been.
