Teaching Hours

There is no commitment - you can work as much or as little as you’d like.

Yes, you can! The world is your oyster and flexibility is one of the best perks when teaching with VIPKid. Just make sure to change your slot availability accordingly.

VIPKid sets no limit on how much a teacher can teach - you have 100% control over your schedule. However, non-peak times may not be as popular amongst our students as they are not available for classes (they are likely in school or asleep). Please also be advised that the amount of time it can take to get a relatively steady stream of classes can vary, as students and parents get to know and try out new teachers.

1. The best chance to get booked is Peak Peak Time (PPT) 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. (EDT). More details can be found on the time zone comparison above.
2. If you open your time slot and set everything correctly, you just have to be a little patient. A great profile picture and a detailed description may help as well.

Chinese holidays are slightly different from the US holidays. Students are less likely to take classes during Chinese holidays, such as Lunar New Year. During US holidays though, students are taking classes just as normal school time. If you are unavailable to teach or want to take some time off, simply turn off your schedule during the holidays. Remember, you set your own schedule.
