Sign Up to Work from Home as a Teacher
I have a friend that has been working for VIPKID for 8 months! She is a teacher and loves it! Working at night and on the weekends fits her schedule well which is also when teachers are most needed because of the time delay with the kids in China that you’re teaching.
She has freedom during the day and then works at night which makes it easy to work around your schedule. The great thing is that YOU set your hours and are in charge of how much you make! This is also a perfect opportunity for a teacher that would love to teach, but isn’t able to have a year round teaching schedule.
I know my Mother-In-Law would be fabulous at this because she’s a retired school teacher. She could still travel and have some time off, but earn some fun spending money to travel with her husband. Are you a stay-at-home Mom with a teaching degree? This could be a great part-time opportunity for you too!
