Businesses run on incentives — from attracting customers with great prices, to drawing in talent with great salaries. But incentives aren't something you set once; you must constantly revisit them to adjust to changing times. Cindy Mi, founder and CEO of the learning platform VIPKid, has leveraged the power of incentives to build a thriving global learning community — and, to shepherd her organization through a black hole-sized disruption.

I love teaching and I love travel which is why I was so excited to sit down and have a chat with VIPKid Teacher Kimberly. She and her husband spent 13 months travelling the world and teaching along the way. If you've ever dreamed about doing something like that you're gonna want to hear this episode!

In episode 47 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma dive into a topic they have been wanting to cover for a while now: Chinese educational technology (edtech). Specifically, they focus on VIPKid, a company that has an incredible number of competitors but is by far the largest in terms of scale for its cross-border model of English-language instruction. Notably, 8 of the 12 startup unicorns categorized as edtech by CBInsights are from China — and this does not include the number of publicly listed Chinese education companies in the U.S. Our co-hosts explain that edtech (alongside the recent TechBuzz topics of online brokerages, e-cigarettes, plastic surgery, and e-sports livestreaming) is yet another example of an industry that is thriving in China but is either not widely reported on or would not work well in other markets.Rui and Ying-Ying begin by exploring the landscape for English learning in China, in the context of edtech. They remind our listeners that while over 300,000 students from China study in the U.S. every year, this demographic is a drop in the bucket as compared with the 1.4 billion Chinese citizens who are alive today. The reality is that the country as a whole ranks low in terms of education attainment: The average Chinese person has only had 7.5 years of formal schooling. Of today's Chinese millennials, almost 20 percent have college degrees, already a sharp increase from the less than 5 percent of Chinese people who are college educated and now in their fifties and sixties. These and other trends, combined with a highly regulated education sector in China, mean that the “TTE” — test prep, tutoring, and extracurricular activities — market for K12 in China is an enormous $18 billion opportunity.Listen to find out: Just how much are Chinese parents spending on extracurricular tutoring for their kids — and how does that compare with the spending of parents here in the U.S.? How much of that funding is going toward English-language tutoring, and what are the reasons behind the Chinese obsession with learning English? How does this all provide context for the legend of 36-year-old VIPKid founder Cindy Mi, a high school dropout who then made her way to an elite M.B.A. program? How did the company first gain traction, and what are its curriculum and business models like today? How did VIPKid come to raise over $800 million from the likes of Sequoia, Tencent, Sinovation, and Coatue, and how did it come to generate at least half a billion dollars of annual revenue with over 600,000 paying customers? What are some of Rui and Ying-Ying's predictions about the macro factors that may impact VIPKid's business in the coming years?As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

Michelle has yet to teach her 1st online student so I thought it would be nice to sit down with her and ask about her mindset as she begins this new adventure as an online teacher.

The biggest online education start-up in China will soon offer new courses and technologically advanced services. VIPKID [VEE-AHY-PEE-kid] currently provides one-on-one online English lessons to Chinese children who are five to 12 years old. Tutors of VIPKID are mostly from North America, and the company's lessons are based on the North American elementary curriculum. In a press conference, VIPKID announced that it will be launching “V+.” It is a new set of lessons aligned with the K-12 program, which will cover students from kindergarten to 12th grade. As part of its expansion, the company will also launch an AI software that analyzes students' learning behavior for a more personalized learning experience. VIPKID's AI will be made in partnership with Microsoft China. VIPKID co-founder and CEO Cindy Mi said in an interview that she sees the Internet as an important platform for education. Through this platform, Mi envisions a future with a “global classroom” where students all over the world can communicate effectively. VIPKID's expansion comes amid the continuous growth of China's online education sector. Chinese parents are taking advantage of technology to give their children access to higher quality education, especially in terms of learning the English language. There has been a rise in the demand for online English classes in China because some parents are unsatisfied with the teaching style used in traditional classrooms. These parents believe that impeccable English skills are necessary to prepare their children for the country's increasing globalization and that the best way to gain these skills is by learning directly from native speakers through online schools.
