iTutorGroup Employee Reviews

iTutor is great if you are studying or need supplemental income. However, I would not choose them as a career choice as working for this company can be very confusing - but hey, if you like a circus, go for it.

Good online work

ESL Teacher (Current Employee) - HONG KONG, HK - November 18, 2021

The company is great. The pay is good. They pay on time every month. They offer training and based on your rating, you can teach specialized classes such as the Disney courses or OUP (Oxford university press) courses. This company also books your open slot for you.

Pros

Classes are booked for you, no need to market yourself like other platforms

Cons

Students are allowed to rate teachers. Sometimes the ratings are false

Good company

Online EFL Teacher (Former Employee) - Hong Kong, HK - August 30, 2021

Good and simple teaching platform. Very flexible and fair cancellation policy. Responsive management. If you respect their rules, they will respect you. From time to time you will have to deal with rude parents. Teaching adults was hard especially when you teach a group of adults and since you will mostly teach them for the first time it will be hard to determine their level. In general, it's not bad and not perfect. They paid salary regularly but the salary was extremely low. In December 2020 they released many teachers even teachers who worked for them for 10-15 years. Management should respect their seniors more because they were the one who build the company.

Pros

flexibility

Cons

students rating, low salary, job security

Modern Slavery

Online Consultant (Former Employee) - Hong Kong, CH - November 24, 2020

This company has some rules and guidelines that prevent you from moving from one place to another. E.g: If you live in the US and want to move to Ecuador, they will drastically lowered your pay. Salaries are not according to qualifications, but location. On the other hand, they support clients only and whatever they say will always stand no matter if you're right or not. The staff is not supportive either and has some shady practices when it comes about contracts and policies. To be honest, they don't care much about you and they will usually win in any dispute.

Pros

Able to manage your own time and easy to use virtual classroom

Cons

Lesson plans are not well-structured and some mistakes, bad management, not supportive staff, no promotions or incentives.

Productive and reliable with payment

English Teacher for Young Learners and Adults (Current Employee) - Hong Kong, HK - July 27, 2019

Every company has their downside but I tend to only look at the positive sides of things, hence I'd say iTutorGroup is not a bad company to work with.

Great Experience but Unsustainable Long Term Employment

Tutor (Former Employee) - HK, HK - April 11, 2019

iTutorgroup gives you the chance to connect with students from around the world while sharing Standard American English language skills. The company provides the curriculum, lesson plans, and training. However, I feel their expectations of tutors do not match with the compensation, making the job less appealing. Some expectations include requiring uniform, props, and backdrops paid out-of-pocket, not by the company themselves. A great experience but not recommended for long term.

Online English Teacher (Current Employee) - Hong Kong, HK - March 12, 2019

-Great to do while traveling(digital nomad) -boring work, it saps your energy -tech problems sometimes -If you interview in another country they will go off that wage, for example someone offered a job in U.S will get a very different salary if they are traveling in Southeast Asia during the time of the offer(so get a VPN or do the interview in your country
