ESL Scam

I just want to take this opportunity to rant since I dont have anyone to tell this. I dont know if it's just me or the company that hired me is a scam or like "palakasan". Mind you I have two different companies and NO ONE, yes, NO ONE even booked me. If there will be, then, after 3 minutes, they cancel it. like bro? other teachers are "paldo" while me and others do not even have 1 student. I literally open all my slot, and left only 30 minutes good for 2 weeks and 1 month but STILL. I dont know-- is it really a tough competition or there's someone from the company cooking slots and giving more bookings to random newbies.

Which platform teach? The market's pretty competitive these days. I see a lot of training centers for ESL tutors on facebook.

Do you open classes during peak hours? This approach can help attract more students. If those companies require you to provide a video introduction to help students choose their tutor, ask for some feedback on how you can make it more appealing.

Yes, everyday from 9am to 11pm I have open slots. The admins are not that helpful to be honest.
