How are your finances? What would your world be like if you could earn more than $22 an hour from home — legitimately? This is a real possibility if you decide to teach for VIPKid.

VIPKid recognized as a leader in remote jobs

Have you heard of VIPKid? Many who have searched for online or remote jobs have discovered the company. Or, you might have seen its orange log. VIPKid turns up in a lot of searches because it is consistently rated one of the hottest online opportunities for making money from home (it’s even ranked third on Forbes’ 2019 Top 100 Companies for Remote Jobs).

VIPKid is on a self-proclaimed mission to inspire and empower every child for the future and change the way we think about education while they do it. From what we can tell, they are already well on their way. With more than 80,000 North American teachers using the platform, VIPKid reaches almost a million Chinese second language learners.

As a global leader in online one-to-one ESL teaching, VIPKid has no physical classrooms, schools or even test centers. Everything takes place exclusively in an online learning environment. The future is truly now.

Some who teach for VIPKid have made it a career

The online nature of VIPKid has made it a unique and attractive way to develop a career and earn money online. With high hourly rates (up to $22 per hour), the flexibility to choose said hours, and of course the possibility of working from the comfort of your own home, VIPKid checks all the right boxes. As a mom, much of the appeal of VIPKid lies in the ability to craft an online career without having to sacrifice family time, care-giving needs or even an insatiable desire to travel.

In terms of qualifications, VIPKid has also made the opportunity increasingly accessible to anyone with a bachelor’s degree, legal eligibility to work in the US or Canada and at least one year of working with children in some capacity (homeschooling, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, music lessons etc).

They offer in-house TESOL training (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) and extensive materials for teachers to familiarize themselves with the online classroom and one-to-one learning environment.

The most interesting thing about VIPKid is the level of success that so many people have been able to achieve.

    I would highly recommend that if you want to teach online with VIPKid to sign up with one of their top mentors to help you with the interview and to answer questions. It is an amazing company with a super flexible schedule.

    I am almost two years with VIPKID. It has been a lifesaver as a single parent of three teenage boys and an elementary teacher. I am hoping as I manage my budget more effieciently and pay off my credit card debt, I can teach decrease the number of classes I am teaching and do it for enjoyment and for only fun money. I feel very lucky to have this income and feel a little stressed about money.

    I have been signed up for a year now, but didn’t start opening slots until this summer, and I just can’t seemed to get booked. I hear about what a great opportunity it is, and I’ll keep trying, because I think this could help with my single parent budget.

The Budget Mom
It’s time for another Real Life Budget. I asked my readers to submit their REAL information. Real spending, real debt, and real savings goals.

I am taking those real-life numbers and showing you how I would organize and budget that information using my Budget By Paycheck® Method.

If you would like to submit your budget information to possibly be picked for a Real Life Budget that we will show on YouTube, please reach out to budgets@thebudgetmom.com.

Diane is a single mom who is a Database Administrator for an IT Department at a local college. She lives in Queens, NY, and eventually wants to move to a lower-cost of living area in the future. 

Diane submitted her information because she is struggling to organize and tackle all of her larger short-term goals.
