Pros

Working at NovaKit has been a great experience for me as an ESL teacher. The company offers a very competitive salary, which is one of the best I’ve seen in the industry. What truly sets NovaKit apart, though, is its supportive and positive work environment. The support team is approachable and understanding, and they do not impose heavy penalties if you need to be absent due to emergencies—something I deeply appreciate. Another thing I value is how they handle challenges. For instance, if you receive negative feedback from a student, the team works with you to resolve it constructively rather than punitively. They also offer excellent support for teachers experiencing low bookings, providing access to various programs and opportunities to help you attract and retain more students. Overall, NovaKit genuinely cares about their teachers’ success and well-being. I'm grateful to be part of a company that invests in its educators and fosters a respectful and encouraging teaching environment.

Cons

As for the downsides, there’s nothing major. Occasionally, there are some technical issues with the website, especially when entering or starting a class. This is probably the most common issue, but it's manageable and the support team is usually quick to assist.

Job is fun. Students are great. Salary is real time. Flexible work hours. Can take leaves anytime as long as I follow 10-day rule to avoid penalties.

Cons

Sometimes the platform experiences some technical issues.

Pros

- Flexible work from home setup. - Opportunity to teach kids internationally. - Clear curriculum provided, so lesson prep is minimal.

Cons

- Cancellation policy might change from 5 days to 10 days for teachers, while students can cancel or reschedule with only 8 hours’ notice and teachers don’t get paid. - Vacant slots are hidden from students, making it harder to attract new learners and grow schedules. - Communication is poor—teachers are directed to bots instead of real support staff, and surveys feel ignored. - Policies feel increasingly like micromanagement, despite teachers being labeled as “independent contractors.” - Surveys and feedback channels exist, but teacher concerns are consistently ignored.
