Pros

- Many students, and most are polite. - Flexible working hours.

Cons

- Has very strict policies that can sometimes feel inflexible and inconsiderate. - They have this (IFT) Internal Found Trouble, where tutors may still receive penalties even when there is no complaint from the student. - Lesson materials contain numerous errors and require improvement. - The company focuses heavily on maintaining a "no trouble" environment, but provides few opportunities for tutors to learn, grow, or upskill professionally. - Communication with the admins can sometimes be difficult. - The rate depends on your rank. - There is a two-month off-season each year, and because of the limited number of students, tutors may be ranked down due to reduced bookings.

You choose your schedule according to your available time

Cons

Delay on payments, and when there's a minimum situation they decide to pay you a month later without consulting the tutor.
