Pros

Pretty homey ambience. It’s so homey some employees go to work in their loungewear.

Cons

1. NC is supposed to be a school catering to people interested to know more about the English language, but, NC assigned teaching tasks, including “demo lessons”, to the trainers that couldn’t even at least speak correct English, and some even have very thick, obviously-not-a-Native-English-speaker accent. 2. Most NC personnels and “trainers” alike couldn’t be bothered to answer teachers’ concerns, and when reminded about the unanswered questions, they tend to get defensive, sound lukewarm and annoyed. Either the combination of the three qualities or they do what they also do best——take ages to reply. 3. NC keeps giving executive jobs to some clueless goofs just because they happen to belong to the same ethnic group as the CEO. It appears they don’t know how to espouse “meritocracy”. 4. Additionally, I noticed NC enjoys keeping their very own instructors in the dark about their new virtual books. Students will surely bellyache about instructors not knowing those new books, yet how’re instructors supposed to familiarize a book that even NC doesn’t care/have an idea about? NC is putting their own teachers’ reputation on the line. 5. They throw shade at their disgruntled erstwhile employees by starting their replies with “dear former employee”. That’s just gross and puerile.

Pros

Job opportunity for people who don't have a degree. They supply videos for you to familiarize yourself with the different lessons. Their communication has a quick turnaround.

Cons

Videos cannot actually prepare you for doing the actual lessons. Some sort of interactive system is needed to prepare teachers better for conducting the actual lessons. Communication method on the interface is a bit confusing - I cannot see which messages are unread-even when I toggle the icon to "unread messages"

Pros

1. Very flexible platform 2. No minimum hours required 3. mostly polite students 4. lesson material provided

Cons

1. The salary is pathetic and it is a shame they are still paying that same rate since they started. 2. They recently introduced a feature where you can adjust your rate but the requirements you should meet first are almost impossible to achieve. 3. very long waiting hours, too many teachers, very few students 4. a biased rating system that punishes teachers
