HOURS:

You create their own schedule by opening your choice of slots which students then book. Each class lasts 25-28 minutes and teachers are paid for 30 minutes.

You can open as many or as few slots as you want AND take a vacation when you want. I try to have my schedule open about 2 weeks out because most students book about 1-2 weeks in advance.

In theory, you can work anytime from 9am – 10pm Beijing time (overnight 8pm-9am Eastern time). The ‘peak times’ for bookings are weekday evenings 6-10pm and weekends in Beijing. The ‘peak peak time’ (these book the quickest) are between  7-9pm Beijing time.

Summer (Mar-Nov) peak times:

VIPKid shows each holiday for China, America and Canada in the booking tab (where you open your schedule for students to sign up) of your teacher portal.
You can also find a list of holidays in this link.

Winter (Nov-Mar) peak times:

A helpful tool for me -> adding Beijing’s timezone to my World Clock in my phone, this converter makes it easy to check too!
