@JackPosobiec Didn’t they shut down VipKid English tutoring as well? Pretty sure I saw my friend say she had her last cl*** with her students and had to say good bye to them.

This is a disability issue because teachers who aren’t being protected in the physical cl***room have turned to online teaching. Those folks might not even know this VIPkid ****. #DisabilityTwitter

@BekkaPiper Hi, I may be one of them too. My account was suspended due to IT issue so I will know on 23rd if I have VIPKID availability to open bookings anylonger. Are they operating weekdays still or no longer? (I know weekends and summers were cancelled)

@makosloff @esaagar Loved the episode today! Since you spent some time discussing the new Chinese online gaming restrictions, I think it would be worthwhile for y’all to discuss the English tutoring companies like VIPKID and DaDaABC essentially being shut down because of another new Chinese policy

Wow I'm sad to hear about the vipkid / major online esl shut down . That job was an absolute joy and I loved those kiddos. It was a wonderful way to get me through the off-season.

I knew it was coming, and I know I'll be losing my students anyway with the new "no foreign remote teacher" policy. Many ESL companies have been shutting down/canceling cl***es with no warning and I'm thinking VIPKid is next. /3

@GGFrangelico VIPKid is one of them. Landi is already shut down i'm pretty certain There are tons of these companies. Many are allowed to finish out current contracts w/in the new policy limits and then the companies will be diminished by 2022.

GoGoKid, QKids, Landi English, VIPKid. All are tutoring companies in China that are ending services in that country or shutting down completely. And that's abruptly leaving thousands of US-based teachers without tutoring work. https://t.co/cWcZn0y24K (@EdSurge) #edtech

"One unofficial reason for the new regulations could be that companies like GoGoKid and VIPKid have provided Americans with unfettered access to young, impressionable Chinese children. Chinese government wanted to curtail Western influence on its youngest minds" #edtech

@2808Daniel @CGTNOfficial @TheVIPKIDLife @51TalkPH . Not a problem. i'm personally shock that it was allowed to occur ! The Authorities (Public Security, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Education) should've temporary halted the operation, or not permitted it from the start. Using "tutors" to manipulate & spread #disinformation

MT @BentheCrew VipKid told teachers on Friday that students can run down their paid lessons - then that's it. They are looking to go global but other countries don't pay what the Chinese do, nor is there the same demand. Still awaiting an announcement from my employer, Dada.👎

My wife and I both are losing our jobs in the coming weeks. We teach ESL online through VIPkid. That company is being forced to shut down through new laws enforced by China. We homeschool and I am in seminary. I would appreciate your prayers.

Since this year, VIPKID has drastically cut off the business lines that were once placed high hopes for the "second growth curve". Among them, the "Dami Online School" business has been shut down in April, and the "Enlightenment English" business line has been cut off.

@RyanVandeWater @niubi The "problem" is that VIPKid is owned by Tencent, which owns it in order to sell it for a profit. If Tencent walks, it may be tough to keep it alive. My gut is that there will be an effort to re-deploy resources more "efficiently" (i.e. without profit-making intent involved).
