Excellent Place to Work for! - Anonymous employee Freestyle Languages Employee Review

Well-organized program with clear structure and expectations. All teaching materials are provided, and paid training is a major plus. There is also access to ongoing workshops and training sessions, which are optional but paid if you attend. Management is supportive and respectful, and help is available when needed. Questions and technical issues are handled in a constructive way. There is a strong sense of community among teachers, with real collaboration and opportunities to share ideas. Students are engaged, respectful, and a pleasure to teach.

This is not the ideal environment for teachers who prefer a very loose or unstructured approach. The program requires preparation and following a defined methodology. There is also a learning curve at the beginning because of the different tools and systems used.

- The students are the best part of this job. It is a pleasure to help them develop their language and positively impact their lives. - Learning model is innovative and aims to be accessible for learners who don't have previous experience

Constantly changing expectations for instructors. Management expects a level of devotion and dedication that is unrealistic for a part-time role, while stringing along employees with empty promises of future promotions. It used to be a lot better when instructors were given adequate time to prepare classes. Now it seems as though management is more concerned with penny pinching than they are with delivering meaningful, quality language classes (especially with the transition to a 2 Day model). Of course, they are unreceptive to constructive criticism, and anything other than "toxic positivity" is usually shot down immediately. No wonder there is such a high turnover for instructors and other staff. Also, the learning model can often seem convoluted to students
