In this video, I’m breaking down the real-life pros and cons of teaching for VIPKid and Outschool—and why I choose to work for both instead of treating it like an either/or decision. I share what each platform does well, what can be frustrating, and how the two companies fit different seasons of life and different teaching goals. If you’re trying to decide where to apply (or you’re already on one platform and wondering if you should add the other), this is meant to help you feel confident and clear. I talk through the big differences in what you teach, how much flexibility you have, and what the overall teaching experience feels like on each platform. I also explain why having both has been a smart move for me: it gives me variety, helps me balance my schedule, and lets me lean into different strengths as an online teacher. My goal is for you to walk away understanding what to expect and how to pick the best fit for your personality, your availability, and your income goals—without burning out.
