Pros

Flexible schedule. Work from home. Wow, the bar is so low it's in Hell. The materials are easy to follow and are provided by the company.

Cons

* Unprofessional management. * Rude and downright creepy students. This online school is like heaven for the most rude, brash, perverted, arrogant and back-tabbing students, it's not a joke. They can do and will do anything, and I mean anything rude and provocative under the sun and the Teacher's Care staff won't blink an eye. The customer is NOT always right. * The pay is insultingly low. Now, if you are looking to earn some pocket money that's cool, go off, but if you are an experienced and licensed ESL teacher, stay away if you have a shred of self-respect. *Racism. Yep, you read that right. If you are, let's say from Spain but your English level is C1 or C2 you will get paid much less than one of their own even though their English level is way lower than yours (no offense, but it's true.)

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
