english as a second language teacher

Qkids

I have worked for QKids for almost a year as a student myself. I am returning to the workforce full time shortly but as long as QKids will have me I won’t give it up.

All interactions with support staff are online through wechat or email, and the support staff is helpful, accommodating, quick to reply.  The pay is decent, I average around $20-$25 per hour, and you are paid promptly every month.  

You log in to their online portal where you can see the schedule, your students, support resources, and your classroom.  You spend about 30 minutes in the class going through material 1 “slide” at a time and having conversations with students.  At the end of class, give feedback and wrap up.

The most enjoyable part of the job are the students and QKids staff. The kids are awesome and in my experience so are their families. Most of the time Mom or Dad will be with the younger students helping them through the lesson with you. I have only had conflict with 1 parent over the year. 

The hardest part of the job until recently was repetition of course curriculum. However, QKids has recently added levels and more advanced material to their programs and the variety is great.  Even when you find yourself repeating the same classes with the “older” children, their language skills are so great you can enhance the class with conversations while keeping with the core topics of the class.

If there were more class times available I would probably do this full time because it is such a great place to work.

I have been working for this company since the beginning of March.  There is not one bad comment I can put forth about them.  They are all kind, understaning and grateful to their teachers.  Somedays, I will receive a funny joke or cute picture, to start my day.  The children are very kind and willing to learn.  The staff are always positive and helpful.  What's great about working here is, you can set your own schedule.  As long as you have the minimum required hours.  As for their unique program, it's top notch! I have not seen another one out there quite like it.  A fun and interactive learning tool that any teacher can appreciate.  Each of my lessons have always kept the students engaged.  But the key to the students success is a fun and entertaining teacher!  If you are someone who loves children, is looking for stay-at-home work or partime work, enjoys helping children learn, is patient, and fun, than this is the job for you!  You will surely enjoy working for JiuQuEnglish!!

The students for the most part were the highlight of the position, however there were many that did not behave, screamed as well distracted and interrupted classes. There was absolutely no monitoring of classes or quality control. The Online interface had so many bugs and would sign you out of class at least once a week and they wouldn't pay you for that class as a result. They don't care about teachers at all, or the curriculum or teaching for that matter there only interest in in making as much profit as possible at the expense of others. Would not recommend this position to anyone.

Certified teachers, look elsewhere.

They do not pay fairly  if you have valid teaching licence and master'
Nor aises and they take away bonuses easily. Lots of it technical issues. The parents evaluate you and you are subject to their reviews on you.even if it is ITs fault, they mark you low....
Support depends on your coach, al are different.
You have to log into class 5 minutes early, do evaluations, so really you are teaching 37 minutes, instead of 10 minute break you get 2 minutes.
The hours are not worth the headache 230 am PST? !!!

Very flexible and accommodating. A very good part-time or side work, especially for a grad student!
The hiring and coaching team is very responsive and supportive with their feedback.
Work from home at your own time.
The early morning hours are definitely a down side, however they have some evening hours available now.
Application process is pretty simple and straightforward.

It has the BEST management, they are so understanding and you really appreciate working for them, because of how caring they are.
It's a really fun platform as well, lots of games and very interactive, one of the best platforms out there if we are comparing it to other ESL online platforms. 
Best job ever. Truly. 

I always get the hours I ask for! 

I've been with Qkids for several months now, and I've never had a serious issue. If anything, they've been super accommodating. You can ask for days off a week in advance and they will give it to you most certainly. The pay is great also with bonus.

pros
great conditions

cons
you do need to have or be enrolled to have a bachelor's degree

I have worked for other online ESL companies before and none have been as understanding and accommodating as the staff at QKids have been. Sometimes life happens, and they get that! This is such a good part time position for those that need a little extra income and the ultimate flexibility. It is also a very rewarding and entertaining job, the children are so lovely and eager to learn. 

Thank you QKids!

I very much enjoyed working for Q kids. The platform for teaching works well and is designed to be followed by the instructor.
 The administration and HR is responsive and polite.  Overall I really enjoyed working for Qkids.

Be prepared to wake up at 3am, have the tech not work and have your pay docked due to being unable to teach because of those tech problems. Be careful with pay, as you only get paid once a month. Worst job experience by FAR.
