Online ESL Teacher Reviews
Pros
- Off-Peak hours (Beijing time) 9 am – 12pm with a fixed pay.
Cons
- I think it’s just happening everywhere at the moment. The general feeling is that no one is getting lessons booked. I’ve been with them for just over three months, and only totaling about 7hours per month. Each lesson is 25mins, at 9$. However, they just have too many teachers compared to students at the moment. Other than that there is nothing wrong with the company or the platforms they use.
Class Booking and Scheduling
- You also select your time slots yourself. The company is not really involved in any scheduling as it is you who chooses your availability and students select tutors based on profiles.
!!! This is the worst school ever. I used to work with them through and agent for 2 years and everything was fine untill in April the agent didn’t screw them over and me and some other teachers didn’t get nor we will ever get our March and April salary. A person named Katherine finally spoke to the management to send the rest of the money (May,June, July) so I’m still waiting for that money. She said the money has been sent to their guy Victor in Canada (?!) so then he’ll send to us 2 MONTHS AGO!! Then she started making stupid excuses such as: Victor is on his way to China and Victor is in quarantine (?!?!?). She’s being very rude and for the last month she’s just ignoring our messages in groups. They are very disorganized for the past year. All those bonuses you won’t see at all, they hide some teachers’ profiles all of a sudden so regular students can’t see them at all! There are few teachers who are paid on time and have classes, I was one of them and they decided to stop it. Tomorrow don’t think that won’t happen to you.
REPORT THEM TO CHINESE AUTHORITIES, if you have problem like this!!
I haven’t been paid since April 2020, or before. It’s 2021 and I’m still waiting for my money. I still “work for them” but it’s been months without booking any lessons. I hope to get my money.
Hi Miguel, is Micro Language out of business?
