What Is All Right ESL and Is All Right English Legit?

All Right English school is a legitimate online ESL company, started in 2017, which has a Trustpilot score of 4.9 out of 5. Launched by Oleg Oksyuk and his team who have been involved in other EdTech startups such as SkyEng and 51Talk, it has expanded out of Russia and Ukraine into Poland, Spain and Latin America with the help of $5 million of funding from Genesis Investments. With triple year-on-year growth, they have delivered over a million lessons, with more than 50,000 All Right English online sessions being taught to 28,000 children every month.

All Right Online Teaching

All Right English teaching is primarily delivered one-on-one with children between the ages of 3-15 years. Students usually stay with the same teacher for all of their All Right classes, which last 25 or 55 minutes.

The All Right English curriculum is based around Cambridge Starters, Movers and Flyers, and a library of resources is provided to teachers through Google Drive. Lessons are game-based, with half the time being dedicated to speaking practice.

New All Right teachers are not rated and are prioritized until they have taught 20 lessons. From that point, a drop in ratings reduces the chance of receiving new students.

All Right offers perks, such as a free TEFL course, the more lessons that you teach with them:

All Right English Reviews

There are almost no reviews available from actual All Right English teachers, which is a little surprising considering the company is 5 years old. Of course, bad news travels faster than good, and if people were experiencing major problems there then they would more likely be circulated, which perhaps provides some reassurance. All Right is very well reviewed from the student perspective, judging from Trustpilot. All we found from the teachers’ side was this Reddit thread, where communication appears to be an issue:

If you have any personal experience of All Right English that you would be willing to share, then please reach out here.

Conclusion – Is All Right English Worth It?

While there is some trepidation in applying to a company without much insight from others who have worked there, the quick and easy application process and inclusive requirements means that little is lost in trying All Right English during these competitive times. That is, if you are willing to accept the relatively low pay and 15 hours a week commitment.
