- Feedback can be vague, and more focused on improvement than praise.
- Only face-to-face interaction is at recruitment. All other interaction is conducted via email or Skype messenger with a revolving door of different staff members.
- Non-US citizens/those without a US bank account will be charged SUBSTANTIALLY MORE in transfer fees for wages: something which is not highlighted up front.
- Initial training is essentially a box-checking exercise, and no further training is provided (online sharing sessions are occasionally scheduled, but quickly lose focus).
- For those who choose this as their sole means of income, it can be difficult to get a full and/or consistent schedule.
- Teachers are unlikely to actually earn the $22 per 45 minute lesson that is advertised.
