Pros

I've been working for SayABC more than a year and a half and in the beginning it was steady work. Their platform along with National Geographic images was and still is first rate and beautiful. The curriculum is easy to follow and the lesson plans provided, with a few exceptions, are done very well. The pay is fairer than most and most of the kids attending were well behaved and wanting to learn. All of this made it a viable means of teaching online.

Cons

They have NEVER been able to fill my schedule. And now over this last month of August I started to notice my classes declining. I had 9 classes just a few months ago and now I see only 2 scheduled for the end of September. I have repeatedly tried to get answers from Teacher Support via email and Skype and have received ZERO response from them. At the very least they need to respond to their teachers and let them know what's going on, but there has been no communication at all.

Pros

1) most of the students were very interested in learning 2) parents were very involved in supporting their children to be successful in their lessons 3) parents read the feedback I wrote on their child's progress and were open to suggestions I made to enhance their child's learning 4) The curriculum was from National Geographic and was very interesting for the students and myself 5) It was easy for me to do scaffolding from the lessons to enhance what the students were learning 6) I was able to use my creativity to make the classes more fun for the students 7) The students were generally very smart and well mannered 8) The SAYABC management showed appreciation for the extra effort I made to help the students

Cons

1) because of time zone differences and language barriers it was sometimes hard to get timely support for technical issues and and student behavioral issues (as an example I had a student who once came to class without pants or underwear) 2) because of the time zone differences I sometimes got important emails from the Management at times during my regular sleeping hours.
