Pros

Freedom to choose when to work is essential for me. There are no fixed working hours. There are fewer students at certain hours, but anybody can find what time fits them best. Until the first 1000 hours on your profile waiting for someone to pop up to your stand-by class is much longer, but the school really helps and it's not only important; it's essential for every newbie. The school has various materials to work with and there is a self-paced coaching page for tutors. I also LOVE that the school is on its own platform which gives instant help and support if anything goes down during the class. You don't have to provide excessive explanations and pay penalties for the lost class if it wasn't your fault (you only provide the proof).

Cons

The pay is low, and you get paid only when you work, so no vacation, no days off, nothing of that sort. If the pay is higher, you could accumulate some money and go on vacation, but this is impossible.

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
