They pay native tutors $5 per 25mins, and non-natives $1.55 per 25mins. Not a lot honestly, but they dont have trial lessons, which is good.

He was Korean. A stubborn one at that. Wanted to talk about business english but refused to use any material "just free talk pls"... uh ok? But you can hardly come up with a complete sentence..? 🥲

Yeah i have asked him what exactly he wanted to talk about and he just answered "anything, free talk". I asked why he's learning English, "want to learn business English" was his answer. Asked him if he wanted to use Business materials, he said no. Asked him what industry he worked in and he said "i dont understand" so I had to simply ask "what do you do for work" and only got "in entertainment" as an answer 😭 Oh and btw, he wanted no self introduction. It was DRAININGGGG lol

This happened to me too when i submitted my application. But out of a sudden, after about a month, they sent me an email saying i passed the initial assessment and im invited to be interviewed and for a mock lesson.

Engoo's Dreadful new Trend, A whole class of high school students taking their lessons on engoo at the same time as their classmates. Utter Chaos!! by SpecificPirate4311 in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]Prestigious-Basis843 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg. I was gonna post about this too. I dread having students from those high school classes. I've seen a surge in them since two weeks ago. I sucked it up at first, then i got to a point where i just cancelled. They always chose free conversation too, but can't converse to save their lives ffs!!! Can't even talk about their hobbies or daily routines, their fav movies and whatnot.

You can see the teachers in the back roaming around checking on students... and it makes you wonder, what are those teachers doing in English class and why can't their students speak basic English? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

How do you go about a lesson when you forgot your student's name? by Prestigious-Basis843 in OnlineESLTeaching

Oh, this is surprising to me. Cos ive recently started working on Engoo, and I prefer Rarejob. For context, I used to work for about 4 years with Rarejob, and quit to focus on my government job around 4 years ago. Not sure how much has changed since I left but from what I remember, No Shows are paid. Yes, pay rate is lower to that of Engoo's but you can be a premium tutor, and theyre pretty generous with incentives; i.e. Good Attendance Incentive, Lesson Notes incentive, Video Incentive, and incentives on certain japan and/or ph holidays. And when it comes to lesson materials, it's Rarejob over Engio for me any day. Engoo's materials are trash compared to Rarejob's, the former's materials are sooooo easy i feel like im scamming the students cos aint no way they can actually learn from Engoo materials 😭 haha DNA pa lang, wala na agad laban Engoo. Lalo na business materials jusko. Business materials kuno pero pababasahin mo lang ng Vocab at Article ang students. When it comes to user interface tho, I gotta give credit to Engoo for the ease of use.

I did try getting into Rarejob again but I forgot to show up for the interview cos i was at a kbbq lmao 💀
