Gretchen’s $38 Grocery Shopping Trip and Menu Plan Work-At-Home Opportunity: Become an ESL teacher in China without leaving your home! (Note: This post was sponsored by VIPKID. All opinions are my own. Read our disclosure policy here.) Are you looking for unique ways to earn an income from home? VIPKID — an online English education platform with 200,000 Chinese students and 20,000 teachers — is currently hiring teachers! What is VIPKID? VIPKID is an online English education platform allowing children ages 4-12 in China to take classes from North American teachers, all from the comfort of their homes. Starting in 2013 and now having 200,000 students in 2017, they have grown exponentially fast and are in need of more teachers. VIPKID has a unique business model that works for everyone involved. Chinese families can get a quality educator for a good price point, and teachers can have a part-time work-from-home job with flexible hours. VIPKID differentiates themselves in many ways: Social impact. They have a research institute at Stanford studying how children learn languages, and they also have an ongoing project in the rural schools of China where VIPKID teachers get connected to a lower income rural school and virtually teach English to the class. Teacher Community. They offer a very supportive culture both online and offline at meetups. Curriculum. Their curriculum is proprietary so that they can fine tune it as needed. All lesson plans are created by the VIPKID curriculum team, which takes pressure off of the teachers. Technology. Their technology provides the platform that makes online teaching possible. Students. VIPKID students are engaged, motivated, and have highly invested families. Flipped Classroom Approach. Students independently learn the material and then get a 30-minute lesson with the teacher. After that, they receive virtual homework and practice games.

Incentives including cash, prizes, and even trips to Beijing. Low-pressure teaching.
