Pros

I have been working for ME for over 6 months now. I have constant bookings, I get paid on time, and unlike other companies, they don't penalize you for being sick. You can tell that they are trying to make their teachers happy.

Cons

I wish they had more hours available to work

We will definitely open up more hours in the future. Stay tuned! Currently the working hours is from 6:30pm-9pm Beijing time every day. We are opening time slots from 10am to 11:30am on weekends and during holidays. Although the time available is limited, new teachers are able to get booked as soon as they pass all the application process. Our pay is 30% higher than the average wage of the market. Secondary positions are also a good opportunity for higher income. Hopefully, our teachers will be able to find this a decent and well-paid job to provide for themselves.

Pros

The support staff at Magic Ears are literally some of the best people I've ever worked with. My hourly rate was just increased when I heard I might qualify for a higher base rate due to my background.

Cons

The only downside for me is the hours, as most days there are only 2.5 teaching hours available. They are working to expand this but as the students are Chinese school children, the hours are naturally limited. I as offered to teach some teacher trainings so that has provided one extra hours .

Pros

Magic Ears is a great company to work with. The staff is super helpful and is always there when you need them. The platform is easy to use, interactive, and fun for the students and teacher! ME is very understanding and flexible when it comes to sick days/vacation. They are so easy to work with! The pay is good with opportunities to make bonuses. I love teaching 1v4 because it's a fun and exciting experience every class. They help you improve with very helpful feedback. There is not competition for class bookings. ME really feels like a family!

Cons

Everyone starts out at an entry level pay of $9/class no matter the experience.
