Pros

The HR team is very very easy to get in touch with if you have issues with student cancellations, questions about procedures, or anything else that might come up. They are quick to respond, but also quick to critique (see student retention below).

Cons

This is more of a sales job than an education job. Accent Advisor bills itself to students as a fast, easy, no strings attached way to improve American accent pronunciation. Unfortunately, this draws quite a few students who think they’ll improve in a few weeks, and when they realize how much effort and practice it takes, they quit. You will be expected to convince grown adults to fork over $24 (one lesson), $39 (two lessons), or $54 (three lessons) every week, even if they don’t want to, or they will not offer you new students. Keep in mind you only receive 30-40% of the lesson costs, as Accent Advisor keeps a 60-70% commission (depending on how many weekly lessons). When students cancel, regardless of the reason, they will turn around and tell you your student retention isn’t high enough, stop giving you new students, and threaten to remove you from the platform if you don’t meet with their supremely arrogant head accent coach (who is as impossible to establish any real rapport with as a used car salesman) and learn sales/pressure techniques to remind students of their accent “problems” that need fixing. If you’re an educator, better to work for yourself as an accent coach on the side, or find a different company to actually teach with, unless you want to segue from working in education to working in sales.

Pros

Very professional company with lots of great material and wonderful support. They help remote workers feel more connected with coaches happy hours and a TEAMS community group. I’ve also received two raises within 3 years.

Cons

Only wish the starting hourly rate was higher.

Pros

Pleasant people. They provide you with all the needed materials.

Cons

It is tedious trying to get enough hours for a decent amount of income. For example, to get in 1 hour of work, you need to work with 2 students (20 minutes per class). So, in order to obtain 6 hours of work, that would entail making appointments with 12 students. It is not worth the trouble of organizing and trying to set up appointments with so many different people.
