Great For Beginners - Online English Teacher OKpanda Employee Review

Extra pocket money if any money

They want you to give all your time to the company, but volunteers gets paid more

When I first started working with them I didn't have many bookings and was just about to quit, when they scheduled a call with me and offered several different ways which could help me improve my booking rate. The team leads are always there to help and provide support, but they do require you go through the policies and everything before you start. Other teachers who work there are also great - most of them are willing to share their experiences and advice with you and every month, there is a ceremony organized where they compliment their teacher's work. After working at the company for a year, I was offered a raise (but I understand the company has a new owner now who invests more in the VTs) from $3.25 to $4 for 25 minutes. The platform they use is great and the lesson materials are prepared for each lesson, you don't have to prepare anything extra because the materials are just enough and the students seem to enjoy them.

They have this instructor manual with all the requirements and policies you need to know. This explains how the platform works, how you get paid, what happens when you cancel lessons, etc. But I guess you really need to know this if you intend to teach here.
