We are disappointed to learn that you didn’t enjoy your time with VIPX. It is our intention to welcome teachers into a mutually supportive environment, and are sorry that you felt our company to be incentivized by profit or to appear punitive in any way. To address your concern about the required month’s notice, this system is in place to ensure that students are not left without a teacher. Students specially select their teacher for their needs, and are guaranteed to keep the same one for the entirety of a semester. To change teachers partway through is disruptive to their learning; we hope to minimize this transitional discomfort by allowing them a period wherein they can select another tutor. This window of time must be honored as per the signed agreement upon hiring; if breached, then yes, the unfortunate consequence is a forfeit of the final month of pay. We regret that this is the case, but hope that you understand it is our way of encouraging a respectful conclusion of both our working relationship with a teacher and of said teacher’s relationship with their student. Thank you for your honest review, and we hope that you find success with your future endeavors.

Good course ware and students.

Svantaggi

This is one of those companies with Draconian attendance policies. They expect "100% attendance" . I did not request any leave for an entire year, not one class. When I finally did due to a surgery I had to have they gave me a very hard time about it. I was shocked. I also needed to request missing one other class because my father was in the hospital and had no one to take him home..they denied my request. The absence that I had to take for my surgery caused my "attendance rate" to go below their ridiculous threshold that you need to get a raise so therefore I was not eligible-despite the fact that I had over a 90% student retention rate for a year! When they denied my request to help my father, that was enough and I quit. They also ask you to participate in a ton of extra work that is unpaid, like extremely comprehensive student reviews, contests etc They say that if you participate you will get more points toward a raise-like blackmail. I would not recommend this company because of this. There are many others that give more flexibilty. Don't waste your time getting stuck with a company that makes obtaining a raise so difficult.

We’re alarmed to learn that you had such a negative experience at VIPX, particularly because it is company policy to prioritize time off for the types of leave you have described. This situation has been brought to the attention of administration and is currently under review ensure future teachers do not face similar conditions. If you would like to send us additional information about your experiences, please send an email to support@vipx.com. As for the extra workload that you described, though participation in company incentive programs does not go unnoticed, they are not the only path to raises or promotions. The occasional contests we host are entirely optional, meant only to inspire a sense of company culture and provide the opportunity to earn financial bonuses. We regret that they made you feel undue pressure to participate; we will adjust our announcements in future to make that clearer. Thank you for your honest review, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
