Right, so It’s about time I shared my honest opinion about Acadsoc, and I just need to ‘shout’ it out to those who will understand my predicament.
For about 2 weeks now, I am still in this ‘process’ of whatever it is. Interviews, tests, probation, probation, probation… The Interview is done via Skype, one interviewer – three recruits. After some general introductions and a little bit of chatting, there we are discussing various pictures. Alright, I guess it’s an IQ test, character traits, opinions or something like that. Moments later, calls are 1 on 1. Grammar test. Okay, cool, I’m absolutely fine with that. Long interview process led me to believe that it is a serious company, and I’ve felt rather grateful and honored for that opportunity. I passed the interview right away, my documents are sent. Then there is training. Okay, great chance to familiarize myself with their software. The site is well arranged, everything that you need – almost picture perfect (at least for me). I’m thinking, oh this is great! And they claim to offer 8-10$ per hour, which is amazing (to a 24 y/o with only 3 years of teaching experience, and a non-native, coming from Serbia, it is). Next comes the Test Lesson. Oh, but that’s right where everything starts going downhill. TL failed because I was given someone else’s QQ account, and naturally, it got banned instantly. The switch happened instantly, and I managed to pull through the session with utmost professionalism. But no, teacher’s fault. Okay, I will get a chance to do another one. And I do it, almost problem free. 88.5/100 which is not bad for someone just getting accustomed to a new environment. Superb! I pass! What’s next? Ah yes the probational week, within a probational month, within 3 probational months. Now, my direct supervisor gets an idea to ask me whether I have been ‘notified that I am a part of the new package’ where they don’t actually pay per hour booked, but only per class taught? Of course, I did not sign up for that. Did I really just get through 2 weeks of waiting and processing for that? Ah, so I wasn’t told, he has to check with the HR. And after repeating how he has to check it with the HR for almost five times (and me being totally fine with it), he backed down saying how we ‘needn’t bother the HR, he has the right to test me by himself, hehe’. Alright, shady, but I can live with that, just glad to make certain I am a part of the ‘old package’, with my hourly rate now being fixed at 9$. Now when can I schedule my hours, as I need to do it through DS directly? Ahhh, I have to wait for him, because he needs to take 2 days off, and I guess there is nobody else alive and well enough to schedule me for my first probational week? So I patiently wait, kind responses all the way. Today was my first official day, not a single class in sight. Alright I think, maybe it will be better tomorrow because students have to learn of me and get to know me first? Dafuq? Oh, and the probational period only pays for every session taught. Oh, and should I fail to meet even a single criteria, I somehow do not get fired, not for my lack of teaching skills or my methodology, no, but because they dislike the way I look maybe? Wrong, I don’t get scheduled perhaps because of my looks, but I don’t get fired, the probation just gets extended for a week for every criteria that I fail to meet. Oh and let’s just mention that I’ve went over at least 2-3 QQ accounts before I got my very own, functional at last. Do forgive me for the long post, It is my version of a review, and I invite anyone sane to tell me is this how professionalism is supposed to work like? I certainly don’t remember it as such. And for the moment, I am absolutely clueless as to what my next move will be. Thank you for your time!

I was contemplating whether to apply in this company but now reading your review and reading a few more on glassdoor, I certainly won’t be applying. Thank you for the review, neighbor (I’m from Macedonia).

hello neighbor, what we also hope is that Acadsoc can improve, but might takes a while.
Review from one of the teachers on our website says
I got an interview from their HR lady last week. She seemed to be so non-committal, very mechanical, with robot-like facial expression, and scripted Q and A portion, and she just read her spiels without even noticing if I am still there. She cuts me when I speak. She doesnt acknowledge my thoughts and ideas (oh well..) It was a very quick 5 to 8 minute interview, plus a grammar question or vocab quiz. Thats it. No feelings. She said, ok I will send your report later. Bang! Gone. All i can say to them is, ‘you’re welcome’.

They hire both NES and NNES. Payment for NNES is 8$ – 15$. They require you to have a great command of English, and you don’t need a certificate or a diploma. They pay twice a month through Paypal, always on time, and always the whole ammount.
oetjobs says
Thanks May. We prefer to use accent to indicate what type of NNES they hire.
