Best Teacher Reviews<\/strong> on Glassdoor<\/a> give the company an overall rating of 3.3 out of 5, with 64% willing to recommend them (at the time of writing). I have consolidated all the Best Teacher comments that have been left over the last year, which talk positively about the flexible hours, nature of the students, and various ways to earn, with mixed views of the support staff, and complaints about the pay, cancellation penalties, and lack of training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Advantages:\n
\n- “students available, you decide when to work<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n

- Flexible; you can cancel the class (but there’s a penalty: at least an hour before the lesson,200 yen; less than an hour, 400 yen, missing the class, 600 yen)”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Disadvantages:\n
\n- “very low pay, not very flexible work conditions<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They take off your hourly rate if you have to cancel a class<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Strict rules but sometimes unreasonable. Many downtimes because students are getting fewer. Payment per lesson is very low. No security of tenure.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n

- The pay can still be a bit more.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Low compensation per class, Not enough classes sometimes<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Extremely low pay and rude HR Team<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 1. A bit low on salary but on time. 2. No app and software dedicated to teachers. 3. Hard to track previous lessons. 4. No seminar, workshop or training to improve quality of teaching.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- No matter what your reason for missing the class is (typhoon, earthquake, got sick, etc.), you get a penalty. Even if you provide certification they won’t accept it. Their reason is that if you know it’s typhoon season don’t open slots.”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion – Is Best Teacher Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you lack qualifications, experience, and live in a cheaper country, then Best Teacher’s low barrier to entry offers flexibility with its various tutoring tasks. However, the poor rate of pay and exclusivity expectations mean that many teachers would be better off looking at other teaching companies<\/a><\/strong> we have reviewed for jobs that pay more.<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n
