In this video, I share why I quit VIPKid after teaching there for nearly four years. I walk you through the real-life factors that led me to make the change—what was working for a season, what stopped working, and how I knew it was time to pivot in my online teaching journey. If you’re a mom or a teacher trying to make online teaching fit into your life (instead of your life revolving around bookings and policies), I made this to help you think clearly and make a decision you can feel at peace about. I also talk about what I focused on next—building more sustainable systems and exploring other online teaching options like Outschool. Along the way, I point you to resources I’ve created to help you stay organized, track your pay, and simplify course creation, plus ways to get support if you’re applying and don’t want to do it alone. My biggest takeaway: don’t ignore the signs of burnout—choose the platform and the schedule that supports your family, your health, and your calling.
