Best Company to Work For In My Opinion. - Online English Teacher Class100 Employee Review

Flexibility- Must commit to a minimum of 9 hours weekly, however, you can choose the hours you are available. Career Satisfaction- It is so satisfying to see your students improve their English skills from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester. It is so rewarding! Challenging- There is a wide variety of grades available to teach ranging from grade 1-10. The lessons are different each week and they are interactive, allowing students to engage in real-life English conversations as they apply to their own lives. Caring Administration- Administration truly cares about you as a teacher. They have empathy when emergencies arise in your life. Personally, administration checks in with me frequently to inquire about my life and also will share pictures and comments about their lives so we have a personal connection. Class100 offers both public school English classes and small group classes.

One con is that there are grammar errors within the curriculum from time to time, however, administration is very responsive and typically will correct the issue prior to the start time of the class. This is the the highest paying company, however, it truly is my favorite company of the 3 online companies that I have taught for.

The staff is helpful and supportive. You get to know them on a more personal level, as this is a small company with a handful of support staff doing many jobs, such as technical support, scheduling, training and sharing updates. Communication is friendly and prompt. The classes are fun to teach and the students have a lot of energy. My skills and creativity as an ESL teacher have greatly improved through Class100's training and my experience teaching with them. The pay is fair and the available hours are all daytime Beijing Time, so it is the perfect supplement company for those who teach ESL in the evening BJT hours with private companies. If you are looking to work full time in the online ESL industry, Class100 + any private company in the evening is the way to go. Overall, my experience has been positive and I look forward to continuing as a Teacher with Class100.

Occasionally, it can be difficult to work with the some of the local Chinese Teachers in the classroom. Sometimes it feels like you are not the one in charge of the class, and the Chinese Teachers do not understand what you are asking for in English. It can be an awkward dynamic. Also, you have to memorize your lesson delivery beforehand. The Lesson Guide / Teaching Tips are not available for you to view while teaching. If you forget how to deliver part of a lesson or you forget the exact grammar phrase or vocabulary words, you are out of luck.
