Pros

Flexible hours - I can change my shift daily. If I have something to do for that day, I won't open my sched and no one questions it. If you don't feel like going to work that's fine. Home base- I am a mom. I need to be at home with my baby all the time. This job allows me to do that. Admin Help - The Support staff are always there to help you and they are always friendly Interesting work - The work is so interesting because I love talking to people and teaching Salary Always on time

Cons

Unfair deductions - There are instances when a student make unfair claims and complaints about you and there's nothing you can do about it. They will deduct your points. When you are absent even for valid reasons they will still mark you as absent and deduct your points and SALARY. The salary deduction is actually nearly 3x the amount of a single lesson. if a lesson is P55 each the deduction is $140. SO UNFAIR!!! When the student is absent you only get half $30 on that lesson when it could have been booked by another student for a full price. Not so many students - the teacher student ration is not equal so many teachers and there are few students. The number of hours that I have open are not even full most of the time and I only work part time.
