Teachers can choose their own schedule, opening slots that match their availability.
Payouts are regular and reliable.
Cons
The Teacher Level System requires maintaining high performance (few cancellations, technical issues, high student feedback) over time to get raises or keep levels. Easy to lose status.

- Flexible work from home setup.
- Opportunity to teach kids internationally.
- Clear curriculum provided, so lesson prep is minimal.
Cons
- Cancellation policy might change from 5 days to 10 days for teachers, while students can cancel or reschedule with only 8 hours’ notice and teachers don’t get paid.
- Vacant slots are hidden from students, making it harder to attract new learners and grow schedules.
- Communication is poor—teachers are directed to bots instead of real support staff, and surveys feel ignored.
- Policies feel increasingly like micromanagement, despite teachers being labeled as “independent contractors.”
- Surveys and feedback channels exist, but teacher concerns are consistently ignored.
