Pros

Good flexible hours, good work-life balance, lots of interesting students, no lesson planning.

Cons

Low salary, no bonuses, the company expects a lot for a low salary. Bad penalties, if you miss a class or cancel in less than 24 hours you can't teach for a week. Its strangely hard to get good reviews and they threaten to kick you off the platform and don't give advice or help.

Loved the students, the materials, and the flexible scheduling.

The pay was lower than average for industry standards. Unless constantly monitoring your calendar, it could be challenging to pick up enough classes on your schedule.
