      Highly Innovative Company - Senior Trainer The Language Grid Employee Review

      Pros

      Constantly adapting and changing for the positive. Prior teaching jobs to TLG had no fix wage, no set hours and required hours of lesson planning. TLG always pays on time, no out of hours activities, you can choose hours to suit your lifestyle, option to work from home and try your hand at other skill-sets.

      Cons

      I wouldn't say there are any cons, I would say that if your unable to adapt to change then this job probably isn't for you.

      Thank you for this thoughtful and encouraging feedback and for being such an important part of the team. We’re really pleased to hear that the stability, flexibility, and structure at TLG have been a positive shift from previous roles. Providing a fair, reliable pay model and eliminating unpaid prep time has always been a core part of how we operate. We’re equally glad that you’ve valued the chance to explore other skill sets and grow beyond the classroom. You’ve captured something essential about our culture: we’re constantly evolving. That level of change isn’t for everyone, but for those who thrive on innovation, it’s a chance to grow quickly and meaningfully. Thanks again for your contribution we’re lucky to have you. Zoe Flaherty, CEO

      Pros

      The program is innovative, all digital, trainers don't write lesson plans, all the resources are there. Students are great and you don't have to find them yourselves. Room to take on side projects are available.

      Cons

      Management team of sycophants who encourage gossip/rumours. Reviews are unprofessional and emotion-driven. Gaslighting and manipulation definitely outweigh the pros.

      Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion of The Language Grid. We appreciate all feedback, whether positive or constructive. I couldn't agree more that one of the best things about working for TLG is the benefit of using a state-of-the-art digital platform to deliver our courses. Teachers have a fantastic work/life balance and don't ever have to work on lesson prep during their own time. Our students are committed professionals, often experts in their field, and our team of dedicated trainers becomes their trusted advisors. While avoiding interpersonal conflict entirely can be impossible in such a dynamic and growing organisation, we strive to create a positive working environment in which our trainers feel supported and nurtured. The results of our most recent staff survey (conducted in July 2019) show we are definitely doing something right - 90% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "I am treated fairly at TLG" and 95% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "TLG is a great place to work".

      Pros

      Flexible working hours. Opportunity to meet clients from diverse backgrounds. Remote work setup can be convenient if you're looking for location independence.

      Cons

      Work Environment: The culture feels toxic, rooted in fear, micromanagement, and favoritism. Constructive feedback can be met with defensiveness from management. Poor Management: Leadership lacks professionalism and basic organizational skills. There's no clear communication, support, or transparency. Decisions are often erratic and based on personal bias rather than performance or merit. No Growth or Stability: High turnover is normalized. Lack of Respect: Teachers are not treated with respect or appreciation. You're expected to go above and beyond constantly without any genuine or sincere recognition or support.

      Thank you for your feedback, though we’re sorry to read your comments. While every experience is valid, this does not reflect the culture or structure of The Language Grid. We have been recognised as a Best Place to Work for two consecutive years, and the majority of our team, including trainers, have been with us for over four years. Our turnover is low, and we’re proud of the respectful, high-performing culture we’ve built. All new trainers go through a structured onboarding and mentoring process, including trial sessions, peer support, and one-on-one guidance. We also hold annual face-to-face conferences to connect, grow, and share best practices. In your case, unfortunately, your trial period did not result in a permanent position, as we hold a very high standard for professionalism, delivery, and communication. We understand this may have felt disappointing, and we wish you all the best in your future roles. Zoe Flaherty, CEO
