Pros

- growing company! They’ve been around just over a year, so you get to become apart of an ESL company that is growing rapidly! This is the perfect time to apply because being in the beginning stages means that you get to take part in many opportunities for growth and become a leader for future teachers! - great teaching curriculum, I really feel like I’m helping students learn English - outstanding staff that truly cares about teachers as individuals. They know me by name and are very understanding and easy to communicate with - the students are wonderful and make waking up early in the morning to teach more than worth it! - great pay ($18-$26/hour) - raises offered every 6 months to high ranked teachers - emergency cancellations are allowed, the team is very understanding - 2 cancellations allowed each month if you give the team more than 24 hrs notice. - work from home - choose your hours - opportunity for growth in company and second positions - you can work anywhere! Totally fits a traveler’s schedule - best ESL company by far. I’ve worked with another company (Qkids), and I can definitely say that I didn’t look forward to teaching their classes nearly as much. There’s something to say about working for a company that deeply cares about the teachers and the students and is constantly working to make things better! - this is the best job I’ve ever had hands down. I feel like I’ve become a member of a family with Magic Ears.

Cons

- in some places in the world, you may have to wake up extra early in the morning to teach. It’s based off of 6:30-9pm BJT. For me that means 4:30-7am. - it can seem overwhelming at first because there are a lot of policies and rules for your classes that take a while to get used to - don’t expect to get very many bookings until you’ve proved yourself as a teacher! This could take a month, it could take a couple weeks, but either way you have to show them that you’re capable. Bookings go to highest ranking teachers first.

Pros

MagicEars has so many good qualities that I have witnessed since joining the company in September 2017. I am grateful for this opportunity to teach a second career in my mid-50s. The pay is good, the staff is flexible and the children are teachable. The students have the ability and the desire to learn. The biggest pro as a Teacher is seeing the world through the children 's eyes. I learn as much from them as they do from me and that is the biggest reward of this position.

Cons

NOT FOUND. It's a great company.

Pros

Online ESL teachers know how hard it can be out there, the pay can be low, if the pay's good the company is a mess.. I've changed many companies and when I first started working at ME they were much smaller(growing so fast) and I was sceptic, didn't seem real, I didn't just find employers, I found friends, literally! (I know I sound like a commercial, but that's simply the truth). So normally my first thought was-they're faking it, but nope, I'm still here and the situation is just getting better. They are not all about getting from you what they need, work as a robot for their profit, the student as the customer is always right and can do whatever, no.. they'll do anything to protect their teachers, to help with everything, to encourage, advise, help you and give you a chance to grow with them and take more responsibilities with changing/adding positions (I started as a teacher, then became an interviewer), they'll really do just about anything to make you feel good working for them. I would most honestly recommend this company to every single teacher out there, and I'd sleep peacefully :)

Cons

The only thing was the platform and bugs, but it's fixed (they asked us what's wrong with our platform, what do you need us to change..and they've changed every single thing, imagine that)
