Avantages
The students. Working from home.
Inconvénients
I was really enjoying working for DaDa - had lovely students and often signed myself up for extra lessons. However, due to ‘new policy’ this month I have been fined over half my salary - I’ve had over 10 hours pay taken from my wages. This means I’ve almost worked for free for DaDa during January. You are given 2 minutes to move between classes including completing after class reports. It’s not even possible to go to the toilet or make a drink and you could be working 3-4 hours with lessons back to back. Sometimes teachers are a few minutes late entering classrooms - because they’ve nipped to the loo or they are completing a report from the previous class or their internet is being a bit slow or their previous class has overrun . There are lots of reasons. To take an hours pay for being 3 minutes late to a lesson is absolutely atrocious. It’s basically stealing money off your staff. I’m so upset this month and so angry I’ve worked all last month and had over half my pay taken off me. I’ve not even received any details of which classes I’m supposed to have been late to despite asking customer service. It’s an appalling way to treat your teachers, who work really hard. In the end it will be your students that suffer as teachers will leave. I’m applying to other online teaching platforms right now.
