"VIPKID is a SaaS that connects American and Canadian English teachers with over 150k Chinese students. About 10k teachers now teach on the platform and get paid per class. We need at least 30k more to handle the demand from Chinese parents who want their kids to learn English from native speakers.
Teachers choose their hours of availability. The platform is especially useful for digital nomads and stay-at-home parents.
With summer here, Chinese students will soon take summer classes, so demand (and recruitment need) will spike even higher."
Hi guys! I'm Jeff Deutsch, head of Digital Marketing for VIPKID.
We're so honored to be featured on ProductHunt (thanks Nichole!) On behalf of my colleagues and our (now) 14,000+ teachers, please share our product with a teacher you know!
We've had a huge year, with Bloomberg doing a big piece on us back in December and Forbes ranking us #5 on their 2017 list of "Top 100 Remote Work":

Hoping to get this ProductHunt a lot of love right now... with the huge demand from our 150k+ Chinese students (Chinese kids spend the summer studying... yup) it's the perfect time to tell your teacher friends about this part-time gig for the summer!
@jgdeutsch I would be glad to teach Chinese kids if given a chance. I'm an Indian. Can I become one? Great idea and execution. Congrats to the whole team!
@sagar868 Thanks for your kind words Sagar! Right now we're only open for the U.S. and Canada but, along with the UK, Australia, and other countries, maybe it will open up in the future.
@tomer_aharon Thanks Tomer! If you can, please spread the word with any teachers you know... we're massively over capacity with our English students and need talented teachers to come share their gifts with these kids online!!
