Pros

The app is incredibly well designed. Schedule is very easy to manage. Pay is really good... $22 dollars per hour plus bonus. Rewared for hard work.

Cons

Impossible to get support from management. When you send class admin a message they take days and days to reply. Students cancelations. Students often cancel on the day and it seems management don't care. Harsh penalties for cancelling the class.

Pros

Hourly rate increase based on the amount of classes you teach per month. A few teachers have become very successful here.

Cons

This is not a normal teaching job where you just focus on your students, the lesson, and teaching your classes effectively. Especially starting out, plan on spending hours weekly promoting yourself: reading books, creating content for lives, moments and videos. This is not paid, but if you do not do it, you will not get many bookings. It should be noted that this is a company that is very much about sales. I have seen teachers with terrible accents, who have minimal qualifications and little to no experience teaching get booked overnight because they were able to “sell” many packages after a trial. On the other hand, you’ll see qualified and experienced teachers with degrees struggling to get any bookings, because they haven’t sold a package. This doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the name of the game here.
