Pros

Good Platform No lesson planning required Reasonable hourly rate Work from home

Cons

Staff feel undervalued Dissenting voices silenced Many non-US teachers have not had contracts renewed (spotless records, TEFL qualifications, no complaints) Do not give reasons why not renewing, don’t answer emails, delete posts on FB group, remove you from group Support staff not native English speakers, so messages insensitive Can’t take leave without losing homerooms Lack of bookings. Take on new teachers when many teachers do not have full schedules Home rooms are twice a week. Only one combination does not include a weekend. High technical requirements - ethernet

Pros

An alternative to Vipkid. Better pay.

Cons

They just stop booking you after a month, even after you've converted trials. Then they send you a cut and pasted email telling you to open up your availability, even when your availability is wide open. They tell you that classes are few and far between, but little do they know that you belong to a group of working SayABC teachers. This is where you witness other teachers getting the bookings SayABC says they don't have. It's frustrating.

Pros

Sayabc. Great company when you first sign up. The staff are so lovely, the process is moderately fast and the platform is great BUT it ends there.

Cons

I usually don't waste my time leaving reviews for companies. I have worked and had many bad experiences but this is by far the worst company. When I first got an interview for this company I read the reviews online which are great, yesterday I read the reviews again but clearer and they are ALL from teachers who have just started out. I have been working for them now for one month. The first week my schedule wasn't full but good. Now three weeks later I have taught 4 classes, that's it. Their scheduling system is automatic so it really doesn't matter how good of a teacher you are because it doesn't count when it comes to scheduling. I am so disappointed I have worked for some great online companies this sadly is not one of them. Please be warned before you sign with them. There are better online companies. Happy searching and good luck!
