How To Teach English From Home And Make $20 An Hour

Working remotely means you can travel as you please, and reap the benefits of teaching English without having to commit to a school for a year or more.

VIPKID is an online service for Chinese students eager to learn English. You teach one student at a time, with a curriculum provided by VIPKID.

This is incredible opportunity for someone wanting to find a stable remote job and work in a fulfilling field.

Teachers will receive a base pay of $18-$22 an hour

As far as payment goes, it’s not unknown for a teacher to make a livable income off VIPKID.

Last July, the highest paying teacher made $9,000 (yes, in 1 month). 

A teacher named Dan made over $75,000 in 2016 from VIPKID.
