Pros

Studying in the classroom platform prior to demo classes and the advice in interview . I can’t think of anything else

Cons

Their administration and communication was awful!!!!! They kept asking me why I didn’t show up for appts when I clearly didn’t have appts that day. I sent them screenshots of my schedule and calendar...... just unprofessional and wasted my time

I am sorry that you received the wrong message. There might have been some tech issues that interfered with our judgments but it's a rare case. We will make sure everything goes as planned until it's confirmed. We would love to support our signed teachers the best we can. We will definitely be more professional. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!!!

Thank you for being supportive. We understand that teachers get sick and it is out of their control. We will definitely open up more hours in the future. Stay tuned!Currently the working hours is from 6:30pm-9pm Beijing time every day. We are opening time slots from 10am to 11:30am on weekends and during holidays. Although the time available is limited, new teachers are able to get booked as soon as they pass all the application process. Our pay is 30% higher than the average wage of the market. Secondary positions are also a good opportunity for higher income. Hopefully, our teachers will be able to find this a decent and well-paid job to provide for themselves.

Pros

Great pay! A BS in Education, 5 years experience and TESOL or ESL certificate will give you a starting pay of $24/hour Magic Ears staff is refreshingly supportive! The response time and communication are top-notch and very professional. They go out of their way to ensure the success of their teachers. The platform, 1 teacher/1-4 students is awesome! Classes are fast-paced and interactive. They encourage a fun, energetic teaching personality and I feel free to be my goofy self : ) The teaching slides are well designed, with instructions being clear and large enough to read easily They do a great job of helping you gradually adjust to their teaching platform by starting you out slowly. Your first 10 classes are monitered, with feedback being given from Magic Ears on the first 3. I love this because it helps me know how to improve, thus allowing me to receive great feedback from parents.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is for the hours to increase, but that's in the works : )
