Stride reviews

My first 6 months of transitioning to online education were very difficult for me because there is so much to learn and I had to change my whole way of teaching. I thought it was a lot of work, but it definitely got easier as my computer skills increased as did my confidence in leading a synchronous class session. Another challenge of this job is that it can be very frustrating when you see the the student is struggling and the family won't communicate with you. Finally, the curriculum for my subject area is not the best in my opinion. I supplement and adjust for my live sessions to make up for what the online asynchronous portion is lacking in. That is time consuming for me to find my own resources but I feel like we are given quite a bit of planning time and that helps.

Only got opportunities if you were the boss’s friend. They would short notice lay off contractors. Retention was low due to lack of training. The pay isn’t a livable wage.
