1. Reasons to Join (and Stay with) the
VIPKID Teaching Community

2. On-demand economy is on the rise. We have all heard of Uber, Lyft, Airbnb
providing a platform for people to match whatever they have (from fancy
apartments to their passenger seat) with people that have a demand for those
resources. The latest industry to follow is English language education. In
China, this is booming.
VIPKID matches teachers from North American with Chinese students.
Classes are live and one-on-one. Moreover, staying at the forefront of
innovation in this industry, VIPKID’s curriculum uses a flipped classroom
model and gamified homework to enable true English learning to happen.
Among so many online English learning companies, why should someone
choose to be a teacher in the VIPKID platform? Here are our top 10 reasons
to join (and stay with) the VIPKID teaching community.

3. 1. The most and the best students
Not only can these students make
your heart melt, but VIPKID has lots of
them. “As a teacher in the VIPKID
platform for seven months, I have
taught hundreds of students and I still
continue to learn from them every
single day.” mentions teacher Kristin
M.
Currently at 80,000 paying students,
9,500 teachers in the VIPKID platform
have plenty of work.

4. 2. A fun, easy to use, unique curriculum that will change
the way you teach
Teachers often say they hum to the VIPKID’s Hello and Goodbye songs.
They also go around giving high-fives to people who are not children.
VIPKID wants to change the way children learn English by going beyond
an average ESL class. Based on the US Common Core State Standards,
VIPKID’s curriculum aims to provide children the North American
elementary school experience online. There is a better way to learn
English: through curiosity, creativity and critical thinking. Our curriculum is
fun and innovative; both teachers and students in our platform cannot get
over it.

L. adds.

place to teach, but you will definitely feel that you have partners and support
going through a similar experience as you.

questions and to give suggestions to each other so that the best lessons can
always be delivered,” confirms Elayne L.

us.

8. 6. Support from HQ
All of the thousands of daily VIPKID classes are supported by
our Firemen (that’s how we call our real-time tech support
team). Firemen troubleshoot problems that teachers or
students might have. Forget trying to figure out a solution to
your tech problem on your own, call firemen to the rescue!
Besides technical support, teachers are also cared for by our
Communications Specialists. All teachers have
Communications Specialists that will follow them throughout
their time at VIPKID. “Though the Support Staff are not always
visible, as a delegate to see the HQ staff in person, I can attest
that they are all loving and sincere, showing the highest
possible concern for their respective roles. They are fully aware
that their support requires utmost attention to details for all
students to have the best experience possible with each class
they have,” mentions teacher Jojo F, who visited VIPKID’s
headquarters in July 2016.

9. 7. A respected company
Founded in 2013, VIPKID is the FIRST company of its
kind to innovate and create such model of teaching.

VIPKID.

Chinese media, VIPKID has won accolades from
technology giants like Tencent and Sina.
Internationally, VIPKID has won the trust of top
investors such as Innovation Works, Northern Light

online company in China to be granted the status
of official provider of the TOEFL Primary. VIPKID has
partnered with Coursera to provide TESOL
certifications to many of its teachers.

10. 8. Support children to become better world citizens
VIPKID’s curriculum focuses on the
learning development of the child as a
whole and fills the gaps that the Chinese
education system. Also, “VIPKID exposes
its students to the lives of their teachers
every time they have class together. The
teachers and the students learn about
each other's cultures, traditions,
food, likes and dislikes. We talk about
current events, the
weather, geography and travel. This
cultivates an interest, understanding and
tolerance of other cultures that is
immeasurable,” adds Kristin M.
Caring for its community in China, VIPKID
has also donated RMB 10 million
to Yourbay for the creation of 100
community libraries in Beijing, Shanghai,
Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and
Nanjing. VIPKID and YourBay are
dedicated to creating a brand new reading
experience for Chinese children.

teaching community. We have asked teachers to share their
favorite class moments, their accomplishments, their funny and
awkward stories to get a chance to win prizes/money.

newsletters are more robust, the online Chinese culture classes, the
new offering of an ESL certification, monthly incentives, teacher
challenges, and the new curriculum are just some of the
improvements and changes made in the past six months.”

better products. We pay close attention to all feedback from
teachers, students and parents and we are always improving to make

13. VIPKID is a great place. A telling sign is that our retention rate is above 95%, which means
most of teacher does not want to leave VIPKID platform. (Our student retention rate is also
above 95%). If you are still skeptical, maybe Kobe can convince you.
“Two months ago, the basketball legend crossed the Pacific to meet with the
company, VIPKID, which aims to give Chinese children a virtual North American elementary
school experience.
Bryant said it took only five minutes of listening to decide he wanted to invest.
“Their platform is changing things,” Bryant said in an interview Monday. “It’s a no-brainer
for me. We have to look for companies adding value to society, helping kids learn and grow
whether through education, nutrition.””
