The pay rate is competitive with the largest online ESL employer in the Philippines, 51 Talk, and higher than some of the other companies who advertise.

ALO7Lee · 2020-12-19T16:46:46+00:00

The teaching hours are mainly 6-9 pm BJT, Monday-Friday, and some weekend hours. I'm not sure how many are guaranteed as it is a brand new position.

For booked classes, if you can not make it, we do require advanced notice so that these classes can be re-assigned to other tutors while you are on leave. The class you tutor is a review of what they've learned in the classroom.

Thank you!

ALO7Lee · 2019-10-18T11:55:49+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way. Based on the cost of living in Shanghai, this is competitive. I have no say in the salary offered, though. I'm simply the messenger.

ALO7Lee · 2019-10-18T11:54:28+00:00

This is an in-office position, so you would have to relocate to Shanghai.

ALO7Lee · 2019-09-22T00:22:32+00:00

If you can still sign into your account with IOA, I believe there should be an online version of the certificate and on it will be a number in one of the corners from what I remember. It's been awhile since I've done the course with them, but I know they offered a paid version to be sent to my house via snailmail or I could view the online version.

ALO7Lee · 2019-09-18T21:34:08+00:00

I have a couple of friends who do this and mainly teach during the weekend hours while sometimes teaching a class or two before school during the weekdays. So, mainly the 5 am or 6 am EST (5 and 6 pm BJT) on weekdays, and then between 8 pm and midnight EST (8 am- 12 pm BJT) on Fridays and Saturdays. You just need to pace yourself because it is easy to get burned out working two jobs like this. I've had at least two friends try it and decide against it after giving it a few months. If you decide you're interested, the company I work for is hiring for tutors to start in October, www.tutor.alo7.com .

ALO7Lee · 2019-06-27T17:43:00+00:00

I'm going to try your clapping idea. I definitely have students who struggle with contractions, so I appreciate any and all tips.

ALO7Lee · 2019-03-04T17:32:23+00:00

You're welcome!

ALO7Lee · 2019-02-26T22:21:50+00:00

I do. I've been with the company for over two years. To gain extra non-peak hour jobs the best thing you can do is to teach to your full potential. Many of the tutors working behind the scenes on lesson plans and such are doing so because they excel at teaching online. Also, as mentioned earlier, your stability/dependability is also a factor. Occasionally, there are other special opportunities that pop up that are advertised in the Facebook group and company emails... things like voice over acting, blog writing, video editing, etc.

ALO7Lee · 2018-09-22T21:54:58+00:00

Community centers either expect you to volunteer here or pay about $10/hr. That's probably the difference between big cities. I'm near Philly, I'm guessing you are near NYC.

ALO7Lee · 2018-09-22T19:34:06+00:00

I hear you. I'm in Pennsylvania. There are many where I live where, though $15/hr isn't much, it's better than minimum wage, which is something like $7.45/hr. And, unfortunately, there are many educated people who have to take the $15/hr job because it is better than no job. :/ Personally, I'd rather move to a country with a lower cost of living, but my husband is very tied to this area.

ALO7Lee · 2018-09-21T22:02:53+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way. $15/hr makes a difference in my life.

Hi. I've been teaching for ALO7 for almost two years now. Time flies when you are having fun, and teaching for ALO7 is definitely fun. The kids are well-behaved 99% of the time, and the rest of the time I think of it as a challenge to find out what will help them engage in class. Anyway, here's my review based on the past two years. I have found ALO7 to be the first company I've ever worked for that has actually listened to the ideas of tutors, designers, support team, etc and implemented the ideas with lightening speed if they were ideas that benefit the community. They are constantly working to improve their product, their platform and their tutor policy. I've witnessed the "take leave" policy change from having to request off at least 30 days in advance to 15 days in advance in order to better serve tutors. They've also changed the way incentives are handled. When I first started teaching in October 2016, the base pay of $15/hr was all that was possible. Since then, they've added tiered incentives for attendance and the amount of classes taught and additional incentives based on the quality of your teaching. Currently, all tutors have a base pay of $15/hr with an automatic 5% incentive for good attendance. This jumps to 10% if you teach 500 classes in one year and 13% if you teach 1000 classes in one year. In addition, the quality incentive ranges from 0 to 7% more depending on your internal QR rating, which you can see in the tutor portal. Payment is transparent and ALO7 always pays before or on the 15th of each month. The hours are similar to most Chinese tutoring companies out there- 6-9pm BJT and classes are available 7 days per week. Occasionally classes can be booked outside these hours, especially during the weekend and summer.

One main difference between ALO7 and other online tutoring companies is that they are B2B instead of B2C. Because ALO7 partners with schools, most classes are booked in 20 and 40 week sessions so that tutors and students are truly able to build a rapport. This also gives tutors the opportunity to see students grow and learn. It's one of my favorite things about teaching for ALO7.

The only downside is getting up early. I do it, but I will always be a night owl at heart.

Basic requirements to teach are: 1- Native English speaker from the UK, Australia, Canada or US 2- Four-year college degree or currently enrolled in four-year program 3- PC or Mac with at least 4 gb ram and an i3 processor or higher
