This young man and I searched the globe to find the interesting places we were learning about.

I loved the students I was blessed to teach during my time with VIPKIDS from November, 2017 through November, 2021. I always learned so much from each child and I was truly humbled by the positive encouragement I received from the parents. I was included on special trips, weddings, family outings, a ride on the bullet train and lessons taught in the family van. I learned that the universal word is “Mama” and all parents want the best for their children.

My student and I were both laughing that 'makeover' Meg picked up the crab filter! So funny! It made for great laughs.

This was an emotional moment for me. We were talking about how VIPKid changes lives. I shared with Cindy that because of VIPKid I was able to take care of my mom who has advanced Alzheimer's. I am forever grateful to be part of such an amazing organization. I love my job and the kiddos I teach. They inspire me everyday to be better than I was the day before. Casey UB

I began my Journey with VIPKID December of 2016. For me, it has been about making connections with amazing people from around the world. I have hosted over 40 in-person meet-ups across the USA! From the First Journey in Salt Lake City to the missed finale in Atlanta, I have journeyed with VIPKID. Though this phase of VIPKID is transitioning, my journey does not end. #VIPKIDCOMMUNITYSTRONG

It has been a pleasure working for VIPKid! I remember teaching John the action words "throw" and "throwing." The lesson involved playing in the snow. We began throwing snowballs at each other in class. The joy and laughter that day lead to many more classes. Using props and TPR brings the classes to life and create lasting memories. I will always cherish the laughter and joy this job has brought to me and my students. What fond memories!

I have loved every single minute of teaching my students in China!!  My many students have become a huge part of my heart and will forever be.  I will always remember you and wish you all much love, peace and success.  I plan to continue teaching with VIPKID in new ways for as long as they'll have me.  October 2021

What an Incredible Journey This Has Been!

I often have to remind myself that this is a job! I have never had so much fun and gotten paid for it. I have met so many truly awesome students and to watch them grow over the short period I've been with VIPKID has been a phenomenal experience. I also enjoyed my first "VIPKID Journey" experience last year and the teachers I had the pleasure of meeting were just over the rainbow with excitement for their jobs! We live in a world where we often forget to say, "Thank you." Thank you VIPKID for this wonderful experience!

# data[].attributes.body
I was just getting started and doing UAs for the first time. I was absolutely caught off guard when a student I adore and who regularly booked me chose me as her VIPKID teacher! It felt so official; I felt so important to be apart of her journey.

I would chose VIPKID again and again.

# data[].attributes.body
I cannot begin to say how much I enjoy VIPKid and what a wonderful experience it has been to collaborate with so many awesome colleagues, students, support staff, and parents!  I am looking forward to the next chapter, globally, and hope to see everyone onboard.  Much love from Canada!

My favorite VIPKID memory is something I experienced with a regular student. I had been this boy's exclusive teacher for about 8 months. He was a super serious boy and NEVER smiled.

We got to the birthday unit and we were talking about cake. I asked him if he would like to have a spider cake for his birthday. He smiled and shook his head no. My heart absolutely melted. After 8 months, 30ish classes, he smiled! Later in the lesson the spider cake popped up again and he laughed! I cried after we said goodbye and I closed my camera.

I went on to teach this very special student for 3.5 more years and we had many more smiles and laughs. I will never forget him, the things he taught me about myself as a teacher, and teaching in general.

I have been so blessed to teach these wonderful students for the last 4.5 years!

I have over 4,500 classes full of memories with amazing students in China. I could talk all day about how I have grown as a teacher and learned the value of my ESL skills. But I have to shout it out to my VIPKID people. Meeting teachers and creating lifelong friendships will always be the ultimate take away from VIPKID. These friendships are one in a million. Thank you VIPKID!

In a world that is at times chaotic and divided, VIPKID has been a bright light!! This is a wonderful platform to connect people from totally different places/cultures....bringing us together with smiles and laughter... The children and families I have taught are the greatest global ambassadors! Every AM is a new adventure!!

I loved connecting with other teachers and meeting Cindy Mi at the Journey DC conference! 🧡🧡

Definitely the most rewarding part of teaching with VIPKid was getting to know so many families in China. A highlight was traveling to China and meeting several of my students, including Jessie who is pictured above. I visited China to provide professional development at a teacher college in Nanjing. I can't wait to go back!

I remember the time about 2 years ago when a mouse (actually a rat) came up to me while I was teaching. I hate mice. I screamed in my poor students ears. He thought it was hilarious. I like mouse. I said I don’t like the mouse. I’ll never forget it.

Hearing my students play their instruments for me after the close of our class was a true highlight. I grew so close to them and they’ll be missed for sure. I am excited about building a new following globally and building new relationships! I miss my Chinese kids so much and appreciate the opportunities given me by VIPKid!

Since I can't share pictures of my students, I will let my Dinos stand in for them. I love these kids that I have taught since February of 2018. I always sign off with, "Good-bye, my friend!"

VIPKid gave me the opportunity to travel the world while keeping my job. I have taught from North America, South America, Africa and Asia. I even taught while camping over a cliff! My students loved to see the crazy places I was at. I travel full time so I am always pulling up my map to show where in the world I am at.
