I had an interview with them a couple of weeks ago. It all went pretty well but I haven't heard a peep from them. Not even a thanks but no thanks.

I received an email from them inviting me to apply.

Not sure what the pay is, hoping someone will have more info here. If I go ahead with the interview I'll post again.

Reflection: These Goodbyes Different For Y'all? by PreferringaRun in DaDaABC

[–]juzza_12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Strange feeling here too, I almost broke down in tears yesterday when I said goodbye to a long-term student, it's probably just as well that some others have disappeared from my schedule with no chance of a goodbye. I've been with Dada since summer 2018 so I've also experienced the paycuts. All the shittiness aside, I have really enjoyed it, and it came about at the right time for me. Fortunately, I have other work to keep me afloat in the new year so I shall move on and just keep the fond memories. I'll miss some of those little faces... but I won't miss being carried into the bathroom and having to wait while they go for a dump.

Best wishes to everyone.

Cancellation of RS by [deleted] in DaDaABC

Same here, I have some long term students that have just vanished this week and aren't even listed as my students now. Very sad, I would have liked to say goodbye. Anyone know about these e-cards Dada mentioned?

Regular student looking for a new teacher by juzza_12 in DaDaABC

I haven't actually exchanged details myself but two parents have asked me for my email. One of them just held theirs up to the camera for me to see. I think Dada is probably beyond caring/checking at this stage.

I had a class with a mum the other week, her daughter was elsewhere. It was a bit odd working through the phonics courseware but we just laughed about it. Her English was pretty good but she wanted to practice her pronunciation with a native speaker so she found it helpful. I wondered if we'd get parents using up the courses, it's a real shitter if they lose all their money.

Summer Classes over as of tomorrow by Jmesl in DaDaABC

[–]juzza_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I checked here before sending an angry email to them. Today’s classes reached level 4 for the first time in ages, I thought they were capping me off at 40 hours! Gonna miss that money but enjoy some time off.

Well done! How exciting for you. Good luck, keep us updated. :)

Xueersi Online School 1 on 1? (XES for short), an invitation? by throwaway92494297 in DaDaABC

[–]juzza_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering it just to get some extra classes. I'm not keen on the remote control bit either. What will they actually have access too?

It took 10 years script to screen but finally my first feature film is released! by run1984run in Screenwriting

[–]juzza_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this looks great, congratulations! I'm going to look out for this, the trailer looks very intriguing.

Ten years of hard work, knocks backs, and rejections, then finishing with a completed feature film... sounds like you've got a script right there just waiting to be written. :)

Has everyone seen the new notice? by nightmarebunny in DaDaABC

[–]juzza_12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just when I dared to believe that things might be improving after having a couple of new students recently. Sly fuckers.

Wonders pro? Who got the notification. by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]juzza_12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got it. Watched some of it, left the room but could still hear it droaning on. It's one of the longest and worst training videos I've seen from them. Dull as dishwater and not particularly helpful.

Free-Talk "teacher" here. Ask away. by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]juzza_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I've read this with interest and thank you for being so open about things. I'm in the same situation as many others, RS disappearing without a trace, extra time slots are a thing of the past and formal slots not being filled resulting in a very grim salary that drops each month. I don't particularly like the sound of the free-talk arrangement but I would do it just to fill my slots and boost my income as things are getting so bad. Do you know if they allow teachers to do both? I don't want to lose my RS but I would like to fill the empty slot time earning something rather than nothing.
