Pros

The majority of the students are serious and work hard in class. The classes are generally a positive experience for both teacher and student. Th platform works well, although individual students do have regional internet issues.

Cons

Students randomly select classes and hence the other students attending, so language levels and interests are often unequal. Teachers can only open availabilities and have no control over group, or private, or booked lessons. In other words, you cannot determine how many hours you work every week. So the income is very incremental and not dependable. Pay is very low for any experienced teacher. There is no human support or even a contact to call. Everything goes through the central portal to a random person for a reply.

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
