Teacher Tee have been really amazing in…

Teacher Tee have been really amazing in helping me find a job where I can work from home around my children. Thank you to Mia for guiding me in my application and profile. It took a little time to get students but that’s because I did applications and profile just before Christmas. But as soon as new year came I got my first few students and I’m happy with who I am teaching. Thank you so much Mia, I hope in the future we can work together to do more applications to expand my work.

Great support provided!

The company helped me fast-track the start of my side income and explained in detail about what to expect clearly during the process so I could prepare myself. I also appreciated the promptness of replies and communication. Booking calls with them was very easy and thorough to explain the next steps.

Proactive and professional

The company has been very proactive in helping me get started with my online teaching. They have mentored me over the months and kept me on track so that I now have a very busy schedule. They don't just offer mentoring but also courses that give teachers the opportunity to top up skills and branch out into other areas.

MLM / Pyramid Scheme Techniques

Update: time IS a product and the most commonly used one in modern MLMs. Investing months of unpaid time in the hopes of being paid more is standard MLM behaviour. Whether TeacherTee are unable to realise this or do know and avoid taking accountability for their business model, it remains highly unethical.

———————————————

They’re agents that connect you with platforms rather than to students or schools. That lack of context meant I wasted a lot of time and money as I was rushed through the process. I was put directly onto the platform that charges the highest fee from my lessons and asks that I teach free tester lessons while the platform still charges students. And all this despite being an experienced teacher. It’s highly unlikely teachers will make it to the highest paid levels without putting significant unpaid time and effort over the course of months, at which point you’re so invested and have sunk so much of your time and earning potential you feel you have to continue, which is pyramid scheme techniques. I dropped out as soon as I realised this and I’m disappointed I trusted TeacherTee to allocate me while explaining the context, which they didn’t do and really touted earning the top level was attainable and thay I “might actually do this!”. I should have checked the company out and wish I had, so I may as well explain my experience for others.

Reply from TeacherTee Ltd

Hey Denica,

Sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience with us. As an educational platform, we feel it’s our duty to clarify what a pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing are to you and anyone else who might be confused about these terms.

A pyramid scheme is a business model where participants make money primarily by recruiting others rather than by providing genuine products or services. It often requires an entry fee, and earnings are based on the number of new participants you bring into the scheme.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) involves individuals selling products or services directly to consumers and earning commissions not only from their own sales but also from the sales made by the people they recruit into the business. While MLM is legal, it relies heavily on recruitment and often requires participants to purchase inventory or pay fees to join.

TeacherTee operates differently—we’re a completely FREE service for teachers. We don’t charge any fees or require any payments from educators. Our mission is to connect teachers with online platforms seeking qualified professionals. We receive compensation from these platforms for our referral services, not from the teachers themselves. There’s no requirement for you to recruit others, and your earnings come directly from the teaching you do on the platforms we connect you with.

We’re sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Success on these platforms is performance-based, and effectively engaging students during trial classes is key to building a strong client base. If the trial classes didn’t go as well as you’d hoped, that might explain why progress felt slow.

For experienced teachers—especially those interested in teaching Business English—there are opportunities to earn over £50 an hour, all while working from the comfort of your own home. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

Wishing you all the best in your teaching journey.

EDIT***

(thanks for editing your initial review calling us a pyramid scheme, I am glad we cleared that one up.)

To address your point about multi-level marketing (MLM), TeacherTee is definitely not an MLM. Unlike MLMs, we do not require teachers to recruit others or purchase any products. Our service is completely free for educators, and we earn our revenue solely by connecting teachers with reputable online platforms that seek qualified professionals.

Regarding the trial lessons you mentioned - months of unpaid time is a bit of a stretch, unless you are not converting any of your trial classes - and like mentioned before, these performance-based platforms universally use this approach to ensure quality and fit for both teachers and students. Experienced ESL teachers understand that demonstrating teaching effectiveness through trial sessions is a standard and ethical practice in the industry. This process helps build trust and ensures that both parties have a positive and productive learning experience.

Thanks
Luke

I didn’t realise from the job…

I didn’t realise from the job advertisement that Teacher Tee are like a recruitment agency. I had a few calls with them to help me set up a profile on a website and the calls were always thorough - just very rushed and script-like. The ad suggested that anyone could apply in terms of hours available but it seemed very much geared towards those who have full time hours available and the time to be able to put effort into creating a presence on the website. I DID NOT like the way that the website worked myself - not great for newbies/people with limited availability or part time hours.
