Low Income: Despite many years of studying and teaching, I find myself earning only minimum wage and doing multiple jobs.
Cancellation Policy: Although my teaching schedule may appear fully booked, students often cancel at the last minute, leaving me without income and no time to find alternative work. However, if I cancel a class within 4 hours, I am heavily penalized, even though there are enough teachers to cover the classes, resulting in no loss for the student or the company.
Communication: I once received written feedback on a past lesson with the prompt, "Do you have any questions?" Due to my busy schedule working multiple jobs, I didn't respond timeously. Consequently, my account was suspended, costing me half a month's income. It feels like I'm working for a machine with little compassion, no opportunity to explain, and no recourse.
Lesson structure: The lessons follow a textbook-based approach, with each class designed to cover a specific lesson from the book. While this ensures a structured learning path, it can be challenging for some students who may struggle to keep up, whereas others may find the pace too slow and exceed the expectations of the lesson.
