Pros

There isn’t many. It’s remote, they provide equipment.

Cons

The pay is terrible for employees and tutors. Tutors are paid way under their expertise level and are just expected to be ok with that. And when they aren’t, they stop getting assigned to new students and deemed too picky and hard to work with. Management has no idea what they’re doing. Employee morale is so incredibly low and they are doing nothing to change that because they do not care. Everything is micromanaged and they give no warnings if your metrics aren’t up to par. You just get written up and then fired with no opportunity to fix it. Executives are secretive and lie about how we’re doing great as a company when in reality we’re doing so poorly. They do not care about their employees, they do not care about their tutors, they only care about money. And they aren’t even doing a good job at that. It’s poor pay, awful work culture, and disgusting management. Do not work here.

Pros

The teaching platform is excellent and user-friendly. The virtual classroom includes useful features such as an interactive whiteboard, which makes online teaching effective and engaging. Experienced instructors also have considerable freedom to design their own lessons and adapt materials to students' needs, allowing for high-quality instruction. Payment is processed twice a week, and instructors can easily track their earnings through the platform, which provides transparency and convenience.

Cons

Student cancellations can be challenging, especially when they occur only minutes before class. Some sessions are repeatedly rescheduled and later canceled again, making it difficult to predict income. Policies and procedures may change frequently, requiring instructors to adapt regularly to new guidelines. Work availability can fluctuate significantly. Instructors may have many students during one period and very few later on, particularly when students complete exams or finish their school year. Overall, this can be a good opportunity for supplemental income and flexible teaching experience, but it may not be ideal as a sole or highly predictable source of income.
