Pluspunten

Allows me to work while going to school. Allows me to travel while working. The students are brilliant. Training was a lot of fun. This is a very serious job opportunity. Do not apply if you are looking for an easy job that requires minimal effort. The people who complain in the forums at work are the ones who are usually looking for a free and easy ride. Hint: they don't get one. This job is definitely NOT easy. It is very rewarding and fulfilling though. I adore teaching these children. Teaching culture is very different in China. It is a lot more respected and serious. My personal comment to the bad review below: there is a three stage warning system, so you are never fired unexpectedly unless you vanish for no reason and with no explanation up front, then you need extensive proof as to why. I do not recommend this job for people with serious illnesses, the hours are very early and the work is demanding. If you need emergency time off, you need to send a quick message (using the Ding Talk App on your phone) to your admin and Team Leader. They'll help reschedule your classes so your students aren't stood up. You cannot take off long periods of time though. It is true that the company seems to value stability over super qualified and sporadic good lessons. I have had the same students for 2 years and it is more like a mentorship program.

Minpunten

Things in management change frequently. Extra work is required outside of paid work hours. Schedules are not flexible, but I find that a pro. I can plan my days better.

Thank you for your thoughtful and thorough review! You are correct about the three-stage warning system and the policy for emergency leave. Despite the ability to work remotely, this job can be demanding on those who require flexibility for health or time off. It’s important to take stability potential into consideration when applying for the job. We appreciate your advice to others on the matter. Based on yours and others’ feedback about extra work outside of paid hours, several changes are already underway including that lesson plans are no longer required for everyone. We are also happy to announce that improved courseware will soon be released. Your professionalism and dedication is much appreciated, and we hope you continue to enjoy your time with us at VIPX!

Minpunten

This is one of those companies with Draconian attendance policies. They expect "100% attendance" . I did not request any leave for an entire year, not one class. When I finally did due to a surgery I had to have they gave me a very hard time about it. I was shocked. I also needed to request missing one other class because my father was in the hospital and had no one to take him home..they denied my request. The absence that I had to take for my surgery caused my "attendance rate" to go below their ridiculous threshold that you need to get a raise so therefore I was not eligible-despite the fact that I had over a 90% student retention rate for a year! When they denied my request to help my father, that was enough and I quit. They also ask you to participate in a ton of extra work that is unpaid, like extremely comprehensive student reviews, contests etc They say that if you participate you will get more points toward a raise-like blackmail. I would not recommend this company because of this. There are many others that give more flexibilty. Don't waste your time getting stuck with a company that makes obtaining a raise so difficult.

We’re alarmed to learn that you had such a negative experience at VIPX, particularly because it is company policy to prioritize time off for the types of leave you have described. This situation has been brought to the attention of administration and is currently under review ensure future teachers do not face similar conditions. If you would like to send us additional information about your experiences, please send an email to support@vipx.com. As for the extra workload that you described, though participation in company incentive programs does not go unnoticed, they are not the only path to raises or promotions. The occasional contests we host are entirely optional, meant only to inspire a sense of company culture and provide the opportunity to earn financial bonuses. We regret that they made you feel undue pressure to participate; we will adjust our announcements in future to make that clearer. Thank you for your honest review, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
