In reply to Colin Maretsky. Yes they were weekends and Mondays (or Fridays). Weekends have the most potential to be booked as almost all the slots are considered peak times and the kids are usually out of school.

Hi Jazzy! You mentioned you’re earning at least 1500 per month, and yet you only work three days per week? Are these weekend days, which have the most available time slots?

Thanks for the good advice! I’m currently teaching for a different company and will be going back to Japan for a few months and was freaking out a bit about trying to find a reliable wifi source.

Hello! I am so glad to have found this! I am a VIPkid teacher in Thailand. I have been traveling around here teaching and plan to leave in a couple weeks, after a year here, to head to Australia and then Europe. Both are so much more expensive than Thailand and I am wondering how to set my schedule. You mentioned Tue, Wed, Thur and about 20 hours. That is actually what I have been doing. But I wasn’t sure that was enough once I left the developing world! Would you mind sharing your schedule? I can budget $14 a night for Airbnb while working 20 hours. Is this comparable to your experience? I think I will be paying twice that when I leave Thailand…do you? How much should I expect to pay in Europe? Also, how long do you tend to stay in one place? Just the three days you teach or do you fly city to city for longer time? I am glad to hear about the Teppy, I am going to purchase one ASAP! Thank you so much, I am extremely excited to see your reply!!

Hello! So I love the picture you have of the Build a Cake VIPKID reward, I have been looking for something just like that but I haven’t been able to find one that big or that pretty! If you have it, could you send me the pdf of the cake reward – I would love it and super appreciated it! :)

Thanks!

Hi guys – just wanted to thank Jazzy for the great VIPkid post on teaching while mobile. I am heading to Bali in two weeks after working in Vietnam for a few years. I’ve only just started working with VIPkid (March) and am a little freaked out about going mobile :) I’m sure it’ll be fine. Is J still with VIPkid? Any leads on other types of online/mobile work? I don’t want to keep all my eggs in one basket in case something does happen. Thanks again for your information.

Hi Jazzy,

I was wondering how many hours a day you taught if you only taught for 3 days a week? I’m considering doing a massive trip around Eastern Europe this coming summer.

Thank you for this useful blog post. I have been considering vipkid for a while and I’m really looking into it now. However, I’m only on data for the next several months, and although it’s unlimited I was uncertain about the speed of hotspot. This put my worries to rest and also gave me so many tips for teaching! Thank you!

Hi Jazzy!

This post is so helpful! I currently live in Chile but am looking ahead a few months to backpacking Europe and would like to teach for VIPkid along the way…. I’m trying to do my mock classes right now, but my internet (even with an ethernet cord) is incredibly slow like 7mbps (?). I’ve already had to reschedule my mock class once and I don’t know what to do to find faster internet.

Would you recommend an Internet Café/Cyber Cafe type thing for a mock class? Or any other ideas? Thank you!
