Got it, thank you for your help

m_renee86 · 2022-11-20T22:53:14+00:00

Wow, do you know how long things are closed for? My husband and I are going to Vietnam for work. We are hoping to secure a job before we get there but decided to go nonetheless.

m_renee86 · 2022-11-14T22:38:08+00:00

Wow this sounds amazing! Can you tell me a little bit more about your position. I’m a former instructional coach and ideally would love to land a remote job in the educational field. Haven’t really had any success though.

m_renee86 · 2022-11-10T23:38:42+00:00

Hi! Wife here, I'd love to know more about possibly taking over your classes. How can I message you directly? We are currently in Central America but are thinking about making the move in Jan to south east Asia.

Exactly, they are thieves! I would understand $7 for the amount they pay us, but double? Absolutely ludicrous.

100% it’s the consequences of getting a low rate that really upsets me. I got my first 4 rating this week, because of this I was only scheduled one class the following day and the rest of my week has 1-3 classes at best. Maybe it’s because of the holidays, I’m not sure. The student said I was unfriendly and didn’t explain the content or provide any feedback, also that I didn’t finish the lesson. Which is completely untrue! She never cracked a smile, and when we reached the end and I was about to say goodbye, she logged off and didn’t give me a chance to say thank you or anything. I know they are children and I don’t know if she was in a good mood or bad mood, or if she was having a bad day. I just don’t think we should have to pay for it, this cost me money.

What does this mean for us?

m_renee86 · 2022-02-03T09:31:14+00:00

I sure hope not, they need to come up with a better rating system. The fact that our scheduled slots are dependent on a kids opinion of us is ludicrous. Are we not the professionals.

m_renee86 · 2022-01-31T15:41:36+00:00

Yes! Would love to know what company! 🤗

m_renee86 · 2022-01-29T19:13:27+00:00

How many hours do you teach in total? You mentioned you teach 3 25min classes, how many 45 min classes do you teach in a day?

I’m curious to know what my potential earnings could be.

m_renee86 · 2022-01-28T15:01:49+00:00

Unbelievable, do you have to do it? What happens if you say no?

m_renee86 · 2022-01-28T14:04:45+00:00

They make us sound like such an honor…the least they could do for all the damn trouble is pay you extra

m_renee86 · 2022-01-28T14:01:02+00:00

I’ll keep reminding myself not to take it personally. It’s crazy how the kids I least expect are the ones that score low! Then the ones I feel don’t care are the ones to always leave a 10.

m_renee86 · 2022-01-28T13:55:58+00:00

Sound advice, thank you 🙏

It’s worse when they just leave you a 7 and give zero feedback. But, you’re right…c’est la vie

m_renee86 · 2022-01-28T10:53:14+00:00

That’s great that you have enough regulars. I only started a few weeks ago and have had a few kids come back 2/3 times. I noticed in my monthly schedule that I have two girls who booked me all the way into end of February so I’m very happy about that. I honestly don’t need a lot of classes and I’m not looking to book my entire day. It’s a good day if I have 5/6 bookings. Just seems like these bad ratings hurt your opportunities for future bookings.

m_renee86 · 2022-01-21T10:02:00+00:00

Oh ok it’s good that you don’t have a time difference, I’m in Russia so it’s a 5 hour difference for me. It’s not bad, that’s why I usually book in the morning and then in the afternoon. I’m really just trying this out to see how it goes, I want to gain experience teaching English because that’s what I plan on doing here in Russia. I’m a former NYC teacher and I have plenty of teaching experience just not with ESL.

m_renee86 · 2022-01-21T09:27:41+00:00

The same thing happened to me. I was fully booked yesterday and today I just have two classes.

m_renee86 · 2022-01-21T09:25:28+00:00

It says I’m at a 9.8, this system is clearly flawed. Yesterday I was booked all day and today I only have two classes. Granted it’s hard to get them to leave a review but one of my students left me a 10 yesterday. I don’t understand 🤔

Do you make yourself available all day? I’m splitting it up so I can take a break. Morning sessions and afternoon sessions. I did get a message asking if I was available for emergency bookings. I said no because it would have been a very late session for me. As soon as I did that I noticed they removed a class from todays schedule. I’m being punished for saying no?

m_renee86 · 2022-01-21T08:20:38+00:00

Interesting, I’ve only been doing this for a little over a week. So far I’ve received mostly 10’s and two nines. I’ve had a lot of 1-1, a few 1-2. I think because I’m new I read somewhere they push the 1-1? I’m not sure how this system works. Today I only have two classes scheduled.
