      Not recommended to 1st time teacher

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Quick hire they give you a (poor) curriculum They have training (in San Ramon) for minimum wage The pay is OK , but no prep pay If you need a teaching job, this is doable, but if its your first time it will be hard

      Cons

      The curriculum is old and inconsistent. They ship you the curriculum in boxes and they expect you to bring and color posters to use to teach the kids. Since the curriculum is old it can create gender norms (only girls are cleaning etc.) The few online resources are scattered and unorganized - You're better off using google to find worksheets. Not enough work hours, Not full time They hire a lot of first time teachers who are not always comfortable speaking English.

      Pros

      3 day weekend The curriculum is already given to the teacher A way to get your foot in the door for a career in languages/education As a teacher you are encouraged to make classes fun The schools are all over the SF Bay Area, so they will find something near you if you ask them to do so. The salary is $35/hour after school and $30/hour if you teach during school hours. If in curriculum, then it can be 7 hours/day The chance to teach brilliant students

      Cons

      No benefits Holidays are not paid No travel reimbursement Part-time work for after-school (1 hour/day) If it's an after-school class, you only teach at one school once a week. Sometimes your students forget what they learned the next week. Breaks are not paid Materials expenses are not reimbursed Not paid for lesson planning/grading in In curriculum
