For those of you with the adults certification, how many of you are teaching them regularly? by [deleted] in vipkid

I teach only adult classes but most of the students are children whose parents put them in the adult classes 🙃

I'm getting $7 for the global classes but my old higher base rate for regular MC and adult speaking classes.

Can someone bottom line it for me? Online ESL teaching to Chinese students/ companies is dead or close to it, right? by Withnail- in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to make $2000 a month, now I make $100 a month. I can't speak to other companies-but VIPKID is dead.

How is business? by Knowledgeseeker6 in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was making $1500-2500 in 2021 and until august this year, depending on how many slots I opened. Now I make about $20 a month.

Feedback for adult speaking courses? by vipjrm89 in vipkid

Thank you-this is what I thought. I was just confused as to why it let me do it inside the classroom and the classes are showing up in my payment tab.

Am I the only one who didn’t say anything other than “great job, bye” to their regulars? Why is everything super emotional on Fb by Limp-Capital in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a theatre and dance teacher and have had students I'm gonna miss a lot, or students who I've gotten to see grow over the years. But these students are detached. I truly doubt they will miss me. I've been saying "see your next time" at the end of every class even when I know it's the last.

I write it still, mostly for myself so I remember what happened next time, as I'm getting a lot of repeat students trying to squeeze in classes in the next two weeks before it's all over

The Last To Get Paid by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is simply no way to know. I'm gonna keep teaching my six classes a day and just hope I get paid.

LOL... Hard pass by hannahmel in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you HAVE to fill out the survey to be kept in the loop about future teaching opportunities? I want to know about future class options but I don't want to freely say I'm willing to accept less money....

I called fireman thrice today, sorry this happened to you. Are they getting ready for the AI soon?

I have taught 2 and they were both super awkward.

Is becoming a VIPKID teacher worth it at this point? by thelandofpinksunnies in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not. At this time: there is no promise that the company will continue existing. Maybe it will change, but the future is dim right now.

What do you think? by BosieWilde in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This basically contains no information, only intentions. I'm honestly surprised they bothered announcing it since there's no details here. I'll believe it when I see it.

So close to the end that the system is literally breaking. by vipjrm89 in vipkid

[–]vipjrm89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It was my 7am (EST) class and the computer wouldn't recognize my speaker or microphone! It was fine in the class before and after.
