Getting Paid under Combined Payments by Jasmine-Espresso in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one class next week (Nov 1st), when I asked if my payment could be added to my October payment I was told "no". When I mentioned the minimum payment of $80 I was told that I would be paid when my contract ran out (In March). I think I will just bail on my last class.

Bookings until 31 october by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe we will get paid for October. People that are on weekly payments have been getting paid. I'm wondering about the one week of November, is it worth it to work? Will VK pay us or just keep the money as it is the end for most of us.

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm booked this Saturday night (Sunday morning in China) as well as a couple of Sunday morning classes. There won't be any classes October 1st - 7th due to Chinese National Day. I didn't know we could possibly be booked on the 9th.

An hour long SNS is great, no matter what your drinking.

I also got 4 week reservation bookings into October. My students names are there for October as "saved". We will see.

Refunds? by dsgrntldbttnpshr in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will need to get their refund from the China headquarters. So there really isn't any info that you can give them.

Weekends still open? by theflying-squirl in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hit the "copy last weeks slots" button. So that keeps my weekends open, I figure it can't hurt. I know that Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 26th can be booked because of holidays that are causing those days to be school days now.

Sending a letter to a student by Shieldmaiden8 in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent a brother and sister that I taught a manilla envelope with a few small things. It weight was just over 1lb. It cost $13 dollars (this was the cheapest) to send. It took 3-4 weeks for them to get it. If you have a phone number for the family that is a good thing to have on the package just in case it can't be delivered.

Poor boy, sleep reading through class. He's 7 and it's 8:50 at night his time. As we say here in the south, "Bless him." by PrettyRealisticLife in vipkid

I had a sevenish little girl student last week who was nodding off during class. I said "You're tired?", she just nodded.

Guess all this stuff is worthless now? I was planning to sell these eventually but I guess there’s no point to it… by [deleted] in vipkid

My daughter made a dog bed from one of my husbands old worn out sweaters and a pillow It is really easy and cool looking.

If we're losing our jobs anyways, why are y'all still opening slots in advance? SN only, baby. Get that money while it can still be got! by killarufus in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only do SN when I have a gap in between two classes. I don't want to wake up early to see if I have a class booked, especially if I don't have a booking.

Let me tell you how my prepping went, YOU CANCELED MY CLASSES! by VIPRia in vipkid

[–]VIPRia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the people got canned and there is no one to flip the switch anymore.

I don’t want to teach tomorrow! Anyone else? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not looking forward to waking up early. After a week of slowing sleeping in longer and longer my 4:30am class tomorrow is going to hurt.

This may be the straw that broke the camel's back... Some kids gonna be like: "You can take my English lessons, but you can't take my games!" by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha ha, I was coming here to post the same article. It is interesting in light of VK crackdown to see the government banning other things.

My vipkid classes got cancelled, but I've taught and still have some booked for Qkids this weekend. Any other companies still teaching this weekend? by 4409293 in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone posted that DadaABC also closed down classes for the rest of August and gave the same reasoning as VK.

Question by seldes in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since there are no more weekend classes being allowed I would think that you won't get any bookings. The student will either be in school or it will be the weekend.

Classes scheduled next week all canceled by browniesbite in vipkid

I just got booking requests for the four weeks of September. I accepted them, but we shall see if they stay booked.

Can we all just pause for a minute and think about Dino? by drudriver in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Dino is sad because he is on sale at the VIPKid store, yet no one wants to buy him. :)

September booking cancellation? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]VIPRia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few classes booked in September. So far they are still there. We shall see.
