West Coast hour difference

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For most situations, good communication using email. Facebook group is really helpful.

Cons

For west coast teachers, the time difference can be challenging. 1/2a.m. to 5a.m.. Also, little assistance from company when there is a completely uncooperative student. In a 25 minute class there is little an online teacher can do to handle a disrespectful student. When 99.9% of the time the teacher is successful, after there is 1 complaint in 1500+ students, they will lock you out of the system.

Business Outlook

Pros

You work from home and the pay is decent per hour, especially if you get enough classes.

Cons

Too animated for me and pick you apart over little things such as not smiling enough. Kids are allow to leave derogatory comments about you and it can get stressful.

"Ratings" from Children needs to go

Junior teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work from Home - Teaching curriculum already done and prepared, no need to prepare entire lessons - The carrot system to cancel classes hassle free

Cons

- Getting raises & "ranking up" in teacher status is based on an O.P.V made up of factors out of teacher control such as getting trial students in your classes, and them converting to being Magic Ears students after completing your class. - Also part of the OPV is student ratings - out of 5 stars. It's literally small children assigning subjective star ratings and leaving gibberish comments like "alkjhasdgjbadg" that are deciding your ability to get a raise. Non-justified 1-star ratings that pull down your OPV are never cleared away by Magic Ears. It's demoralizing and disrespectful for students.
