A Work at Home Job for Homeschoolers

VIPKIDS sponsored this post, and as always I am giving my honest opinion. I am not required to give a positive review. I think this is an amazing opportunity for homeschool parents to work from home!

Many homeschoolers struggle to pay the bills with only one working parent, not realizing that there are many ways to earn money from home. (Like blogging about homeschooling 🙂 )

One fantastic opportunity is teaching English to Chinese students through VIPKID. It is an online English education platform allowing children (4-12) in China to take classes from North American teachers, all from the comfort of home.

Work Part-Time

You obviously know how to teach children, so why not earn money working a few hours a week using the skills you’ve learned as a homeschooler?

The requirements for teachers are:

A bachelor’s degree in any field
One school year of full-time teaching experience or equivalent hours in similar educational activities (e.g. home schooling, tutoring, educational mentoring, etc.)
Eligibility to work in US or Canada

VIPKID teachers can earn $14-$22 an hour, with the average being $19 an hour.

Teach English to Kids

You do NOT need to speak Chinese for this teaching opportunity. Students will independently learn the material and will get a 30-minute lesson with the teacher. After that they receive virtual homework and practice games.
