Don’t gamble when you’re upset. Try other forms of recreation as well. How slot machines work – and why you should think twice before playing them September 5, 2018 6.37am EDT. Anthony Frederick Lucas, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. How Much Time to Spend at a Slot When the ten spins are over, you should have a total of 2,000 credits minus the 560 credits you wagered during the session. In other words, your credits should amount to 1,440 plus those you have won during the ten spins. I currently use the Find Meeting Times (v2) action to find 1 available slot and automatically schedule a Teams meeting on the required peoples calendar. The issue I am running into, is that sometimes it picks meeting times after working hours.
VIPKid teachers based in North America usually work in the early morning and on weekend evenings. These hours are peak times in China.
Teachers create their own schedule by opening slots which students can book. Each class lasts 25-28 minutes and teachers are paid for 30 minutes.
You can open as many or as few slots as you want and take a vacation when you want. It’s good to open slots well in advance, because most students book two weeks in advance, when VIPKid opens the bookings.
In theory, you can work anytime from 8.30am – 9pm Beijing time (overnight 7.30pm-8am Eastern time). But the peak times for bookings are weekday evenings 6-9pm and weekends in Beijing. The ‘peak peak time’ within those hours is 7-9pm Beijing time.
Peak times in summer
Below are the peak times in summer (Mar-Nov) for most US and Canadian time zones:
During school holidays in China (e.g. Feb, Jul & Aug), additional times are available: 8.30am – 10pm Chinese time every day (US evenings).
Peak times in winter
China does not observe daylight savings, so winter times are a little different:

The four step application process
When you first start teaching with VIPKid, it’s important to understand how bookings work. Here’s a quick guide to opening time slots and checking for bookings, to help you get started.
Starting teaching
You can start getting bookings and teaching as soon as:
1. You have signed your contract and uploaded your pics, bio and video.
2. VIPKID have seen your signed contract and certified you for at least one level. (Check this on the Teacher App.)
Opening time slots
1. Go to theteacher portal.
2. Click on the ‘unlock’ button at the top right. The purpose of the lock button is to stop you accidentally opening slots while on your booking page.
3. Click on the time slot you want to open and select ‘available’.
Remember to check if your classes have been booked every day! Normally, they can be booked anytime from two weeks in advance, until 24 hours before the class (assuming you don’t tick the short notice box).
The short notice option
You will see a short notice option on time slots when you click on them: this is the 24hr notice box.
Checking the short notice box means that classes CAN be booked (and/or cancelled and re-booked) within 24 hours of the start time: anytime up to 1 hour before the class.
Fortunately, if the slot has not yet been booked, you can uncheck this option at any time.
I recommend checking the short notice option to help get high demand last-minute trial bookings. But untick again before you go to bed / several hours before the class! That way, you avoid missing the class or having to plan at the last minute.
Time slot colors
Time slots available for bookings appear white / pale gray.
Peak times (evenings and weekends Beijing time) say ‘hot’.
Peak peak times (7-9pm Beijing time) say ‘very hot’.
Time slots you have opened appear blue and say ‘available.
After a student has booked, the slot will turn green, usually with the student’s name. You can then go to the ‘classroom’ tab to find out more about the class.
After the class has finished, the slot will turn grey. This may not happen until around midnight-2am Beijing time.
Sometimes the slot turns gray before the class. This means the student has cancelled within 24 hrs.
If it is a gray trial class, VIPKID can re-book the slot for another trial student at any time (regardless of the short notice option), so you must be prepared to teach. If it is a gray MC class, they cannot re-book unless you had selected the short notice option.
How many slots to open
The really great thing about VIPKID (compared to most other companies), is that there is no minimum number of hours you have to teach per week.
You can open as few or as many as you like, at whatever times suit you. You can take time off simply by not opening your schedule, (but let VIPKID know if you’re away for more than a week).
The disadvantage of this system is that you aren’t guaranteed hours. Sometimes it is hard to get bookings as a new teacher, especially when VIPKID has been recruiting a lot at once.
As a new teacher, it’s good to open as many slots as you can. But only open those you can definitely teach if they do get booked! I.e. don’t open ten in a row, if you aren’t willing to teach ten in a row.
Opening peak peak times (7-9pm Beijing time) and weekend slots (weekend daytime Beijing time) will help a lot. Ticking the short notice option can also help, but see my warning above.

How slots are booked
Trial classes are booked by VIPKID HQ on behalf of the parents. This means they are equally likely to be booked anytime of the week, but usually 9am-5pm Chinese time (overnight in the Americas). VIPKID HQ do try to give some of these bookings to new teachers.
Most bookings are for PPT times and weekends. About 50% end up being student no shows, but you will still get paid 50% of your pay (+ incentives) for showing up to teach.
Major course classes are booked directly by parents 1-2 weeks in advance. Bookings open at 12 noon (Chinese time) on Mondays: Sunday evenings American time.
Make sure to have your time slots open by Sunday evening, to have a chance of getting booked by parents. Teachers call this the ‘booking frenzy’.
Parents may also book at other times, but it is less likely. As a new teacher, it will take parents some time to ‘find you’, so try to get some trials and ask for apple feedback from those in the meantime.
Priority booking happens after you teach a class. If it’s an MC class, the parents can book (if you have the time open), or request to book (you will see a request on your portal or app) the same time in two weeks.
This gives them the opportunity to book in advance, ahead of the frenzy. You can decline these requests and give a reason, but it’s best to accept them if you can. The easiest way is to make sure you already have the priority time slot open before you teach.
