Pros
- Flexible work from home setup.
- Opportunity to teach kids internationally.
- Clear curriculum provided, so lesson prep is minimal.
Cons
- Cancellation policy might change from 5 days to 10 days for teachers, while students can cancel or reschedule with only 8 hours’ notice and teachers don’t get paid.
- Vacant slots are hidden from students, making it harder to attract new learners and grow schedules.
- Communication is poor—teachers are directed to bots instead of real support staff, and surveys feel ignored.
- Policies feel increasingly like micromanagement, despite teachers being labeled as “independent contractors.”
- Surveys and feedback channels exist, but teacher concerns are consistently ignored.
