Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear that you felt supported and gained some good experience in your time teaching online with EF. While the shift hours did change, we hope that this change benefits teachers by requiring less travel and also by providing more consecutive days off. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
