Dishonest Schools and Lack of Oversight — Use with Extreme Caution
Pros
I’m leaving this review to warn other teachers about the risks of using TeacherRecord.com to find ESL jobs. While the platform may appear organized and legitimate on the surface, my experience has been overwhelmingly negative. I was matched with schools through this site that lied about pay, working hours, and job responsibilities. Once I signed contracts, the conditions changed dramatically — with lower pay, longer hours, and zero support when I tried to raise concerns.
Cons
What’s worse, Teacher Record seems to have no meaningful vetting process for the schools they list. There’s no accountability, and complaints appear to go ignored. After being cheated, I reached out for help and received no useful response or follow-up. It feels like the platform exists just to connect teachers with any employer — no matter how shady. If you're considering using TeacherRecord, be extremely cautious. Triple-check contracts, research the schools independently, and be prepared for poor communication and possible bait-and-switch tactics.
