QKids Requirements
There’re a few requirements you’ll need to meet to apply. I’ve listed them below:
- Live in the US, UK, or mainland China
- University Graduate or Currently Enrolled
- Webcam
- Headset with Microphone
- Stable Internet Connection
If you can meet these requirements, you can fill out an application on their website. It should only take a few minutes, but you’ll need to attach a resume and provide basic contact information.
QKids Application Process
Once you fill out an application on their website, you should hear back within a few days if they’re interested. Once you hear back there’re several steps of the application process that I’ve listed below:
- Application – Fill out on website
- Interview – Short 3 minute video
- Pre-Demo Training – 1-hour training
- Demo Lesson – 30-minute lesson
- Trial Lesson – Three 30-minute lessons
- Being Hired
You’re paid $16 for the Demo Lesson, and $8 for each Trial lesson even if they decide not to hire you. The pre-demo training and interview are not paid.
About The Work
When tutoring at QKids you’ll teach classes of 1-6 students. Most students are 5-12 years old and located in China. All tutoring sessions last 30 minutes each.
QKids has all of the teaching material prepared, but you will need to review it before starting each tutoring session.
You can learn more about their interactive teaching platform here.
QKids Tutor Schedule
It seems that the schedule at QKids is flexible, but there’re specific times that you can sign up for each week. At this time they require all tutors to work at least six hours each week. You can sign up for 30-minute blocks in the following times (time is Eastern Standard):
They mention in their FAQs that they prefer you keep a consistent schedule, but if changes need to be made they’d prefer you give them a week notice.
How Much Does QKids Pay?
On the QKids website, they list that most tutors make $16-$20 an hour. On their FAQs, they say that all teachers get paid in USD with a base pay of $8 per 30-minute tutoring session.
They also list that you can earn weekly bonuses for attendance and high-quality tutoring. They do not list the amount of these bonuses, but I’m assuming it works out to a few extra bucks per hour which is why they list $16-$20 per hour.
QKids pays monthly via Direct Deposit in the US and via PayPal in CA.
Tutors are responsible for reporting income for tax purposes.
QKids Feedback
QKids has over 100 reviews on Glassdoor with a rating of 4.4 out of 5. There’s a ton of great feedback over there, so I highly recommend reading some of the reviews at Glassdoor.com.
