We love the personalized approach to learning here. It is clear that the curriculum is designed to adapt to the citizen rather than expecting the student to just fit into a rigid universal system.

LISTEN TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS (NOT THE FAKE POSITIVE ONES)
This is an extremely horrible company to work for. They hire people from my country to pay them less, even without qualifications. They are exploitive, and will drop good teachers if they can pay someone less. The management only care about how much money they can make. Please listen to the negative reviews, and not the 'positive' reviews that the CEOS have emotionally manipulated management to write, or even have written themselves (see below.) Cand**e makes the teachers feel bad. I am pretty sure they use AI for all their documents.

Absolute waste of time to all ESL…
Absolute waste of time to all ESL teachers avoid this company. They make lots of false promises and steal Whales English courseware. The courseware is so boring I feel sorry for the kids. Also they withhold your pay if you miss classes and have barely any students. Extremely unprofessional I'm so happy it was a side job and I left after Month 2. They are always looking at ways to deduct your bonuses. Absolutely horrendous company I only got 4 students and then that dropped to 3. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Absolutely unprofessional they gave me…
Absolutely unprofessional they gave me an acceptance offer and came three days later to say there had been a technical glitch on the system. I reached out to the HR department to no avail. Highly disappointed and I would not recommend them.

High-quality online tuition done right
High-quality online tuition done right.
I was skeptical about the overall level of impact that online teaching would actually have on our students.
They reached out to us as part of the National Tutoring Program and I can honestly say that we have seen a marked improvement in overall attainment.
Their tutors are qualified and very well trained.
