Thank you for providing your feedback. While it sounds like the flexibility with the schedule is something you have enjoyed, we are sorry to hear that other aspects of the online independent contract role haven’t worked for you. Some of the things you mention, such as the benefits, are limitations of an independent contractor role and we realize that isn’t for everyone. We do offer additional monthly fees for independent contractors who meet certain criteria within that month. If those are not achieved, we do not deduct pay, but unfortunately the instructor will not qualify for the additional fees in that month. If you would like to discuss further any of your concerns, you are welcome to reach out to online.support@ef.com

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you’ve found opportunities for early career development, leadership training, and global connection during your time at EF. Creating a vibrant culture where colleagues can learn from one another and grow quickly is something we care deeply about.
We also appreciate your perspective on compensation and workload during busy seasons. Supporting our colleagues’ limitless potential while helping them make a real impact through their work is important to us, and feedback like yours helps us continue to reflect on how we support our teams.
You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.
Svantaggi
Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
