Pros

Magic Ears is a great company to work with. The staff is super helpful and is always there when you need them. The platform is easy to use, interactive, and fun for the students and teacher! ME is very understanding and flexible when it comes to sick days/vacation. They are so easy to work with! The pay is good with opportunities to make bonuses. I love teaching 1v4 because it's a fun and exciting experience every class. They help you improve with very helpful feedback. There is not competition for class bookings. ME really feels like a family!

Cons

Everyone starts out at an entry level pay of $9/class no matter the experience.

Pros

Magic Ears is a very new company which means that it is growing and there are lots of opportunities for anyone that would like to go far in a job. They are always giving us more opportunities for work, not just in teaching but as a social net worker, interviewer, proof reader, etc. The platform is super user friendly and the people that work there really care about their Teachers. They are always willing to help us when we need it!

Cons

It is early mornings for most teachers which can be difficult for some people.

Pros

- growing company! They’ve been around just over a year, so you get to become apart of an ESL company that is growing rapidly! This is the perfect time to apply because being in the beginning stages means that you get to take part in many opportunities for growth and become a leader for future teachers! - great teaching curriculum, I really feel like I’m helping students learn English - outstanding staff that truly cares about teachers as individuals. They know me by name and are very understanding and easy to communicate with - the students are wonderful and make waking up early in the morning to teach more than worth it! - great pay ($18-$26/hour) - raises offered every 6 months to high ranked teachers - emergency cancellations are allowed, the team is very understanding - 2 cancellations allowed each month if you give the team more than 24 hrs notice. - work from home - choose your hours - opportunity for growth in company and second positions - you can work anywhere! Totally fits a traveler’s schedule - best ESL company by far. I’ve worked with another company (Qkids), and I can definitely say that I didn’t look forward to teaching their classes nearly as much. There’s something to say about working for a company that deeply cares about the teachers and the students and is constantly working to make things better! - this is the best job I’ve ever had hands down. I feel like I’ve become a member of a family with Magic Ears.

Cons

- in some places in the world, you may have to wake up extra early in the morning to teach. It’s based off of 6:30-9pm BJT. For me that means 4:30-7am. - it can seem overwhelming at first because there are a lot of policies and rules for your classes that take a while to get used to - don’t expect to get very many bookings until you’ve proved yourself as a teacher! This could take a month, it could take a couple weeks, but either way you have to show them that you’re capable. Bookings go to highest ranking teachers first.
