Pros

As an educator, you are under the impression you will teach for 20 minutes, 1:1 and be compensated your rate of pay. It is an illusion.

Cons

As an educator, you are paid per minute. Technically it will take you teaching three classes to attain the hourly rate of pay you are given. With many years of teaching remotely, with various companies; teachers being compensated per minute is uncommon. There are many companies teaching English/ promoting literacy and helping to close the reading gap. Put your passion for facilitating learning into a company that is transparent and supportive of all concerns an employee has.

Pros

Support is great. They improve systems based on feedback from employees. You are one to one with students, unlike some of the other companies. This makes the program so much more successful for the students. Very easy to pick up extra opportunities subbing etc..

Cons

We all have teaching degrees, so 20.00 an hour is pretty low. I don't mind so much because I have a pension but it would be hard to live on. Other companies that are doing roughly the same sort of thing pay up to 4 an hour more.
