In this video, I’m comparing VIPKid vs Outschool in the ways that actually matter when you’re trying to build a realistic online teaching schedule: pay structure, hours, class format, and what it takes to get hired. I walk through how VIPKid is a more “plug-in” platform with a set curriculum and a defined hiring checklist (degree + experience requirements), while Outschool is much more creator-style—meaning you choose what you teach, who you teach, and what you charge. I also talk about the lifestyle side of it: when you’ll likely be teaching (especially with most Outschool learners in the U.S.), how flexible each platform feels day-to-day, and why you don’t have to treat this like an either/or decision. My biggest takeaway is that both platforms can work, but they fit different personalities and goals. If you want structure and a clear system, VIPKid can be a great match. If you want freedom to build your own classes and brand, Outschool may be your best move—and yes, it’s totally possible to do both as part of your online teaching journey.
