Pros

The platform is simple and easy to navigate for new teachers. Flexible schedule that lets you choose when to work. No minimum hours required, which is convenient. Training and materials are available for free. Good option to gain online ESL experience.

Cons

Extremely low student traffic for new teachers, even during peak hours. Standby times are very long, often with no bookings for hours. It can take many days before getting consistent students. Earnings are very low at the beginning because of low bookings. Platform seems to favour higher-level or longer-term teachers.

Pros

Job opportunity for people who don't have a degree. They supply videos for you to familiarize yourself with the different lessons. Their communication has a quick turnaround.

Cons

Videos cannot actually prepare you for doing the actual lessons. Some sort of interactive system is needed to prepare teachers better for conducting the actual lessons. Communication method on the interface is a bit confusing - I cannot see which messages are unread-even when I toggle the icon to "unread messages"

Pros

1. Very flexible platform 2. No minimum hours required 3. mostly polite students 4. lesson material provided

Cons

1. The salary is pathetic and it is a shame they are still paying that same rate since they started. 2. They recently introduced a feature where you can adjust your rate but the requirements you should meet first are almost impossible to achieve. 3. very long waiting hours, too many teachers, very few students 4. a biased rating system that punishes teachers
