Mostly Great

Teacher (Current Employee) - United States - November 29, 2023

Qkids is a great company, however they recently took away bonuses and the pay could be higher. The bonuses helped a lot and to take them away is discouraging.

Low key and fun work place

Teacher (Current Employee) - Remote - November 13, 2023

The staff is great! The kids are wonderful.The platform is intuitive and easy to use to teach kids. Pick your own hours. Pay rate could be higher but it is good for an easy additional income

Work from home

ESL Tutor (Former Employee) - Remote - October 18, 2023

Hours are minimal but it's a good work from home postion to make a little extra money. You could not sustain a one income home with this position. Early morning hours.

Decent Company

Teacher (Former Employee) - Remote - October 11, 2023

Was a good thing while it lasted. There were plenty of sessions available and the lesson plans were easy to follow. Unfortunately, the company had to comply with regulations that limited hiring teachers in California.

Pros

Steady work

Cons

No bonus offers for new teachers

Flexible with compromises

Virtual Teacher (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - October 8, 2023

Hourly rate wasn't bad but the hours of the classes can be difficult to work around for other jobs or obligations you may have. I loved working with the kids and seeing their excitement with learning. The onboarding process was relatively straightforward and brief.

Horrible pay and horrible hours!!! RUN! Don't accept this demoralizing paycut by Qkids!

English Language Teacher (Current Employee) - Remote - September 22, 2023

It is unconscionable that Qkids requires a Bachelor's degree and a TESOL and then they try to, essentially, lower the pay to near minimum wage. That is an insult. Qkids needs to keep up with the industry standard and give tutors raises!

Pros

Students and CCT

Cons

Everything else.

Flexible, but lower pay

Online English as a Second Language Teacher (Current Employee) - Remote - September 21, 2023

Great flexibility as you work from home early in the morning and have the rest of the day to do other things. However, bonuses have been cut for teachers, so after 6 years I make less…doesn’t seem right.

Pros

Flexibility

Cons

Pay

Easy job

English Teacher (Current Employee) - Remote - September 13, 2023

Easy work but not the best pay. Curriculum developed for you through company software that is engaging for the students. Very flexible scheduling.

Great

ESL Teacher (Current Employee) - Online - September 9, 2023

I’ve worked for Qkids for over 4 years and have always loved teaching! The mornings can be hard, but I love how flexible the job is, and how everything is already planned out.

Flexible

Educator (Former Employee) - Remote - August 30, 2023

You are able to make your own schedule, so it is flexible. Pay is not concrete because you don't know if there will be work openings for the week, that would be the downside.

Poor work environment, but students were delightful

English Teacher (Former Employee) - Remote - May 29, 2023

Pros: The children were the best part of this job. Usually very cheerful and eager to learn.Cons: No breaks in between classes. Working 7 days a week. Early morning hours (2am -6am). No time for vocal rest. Bad for vocal health.

Awesome teaching job

ESL English Teacher (Current Employee) - Remote - May 23, 2023

Qkids is a fantastic place to work. The people who run the company are super kind, and the lessons themselves are interactive and great. The kids, for the most part, are also eager to learn and respectful.

An overall rewarding experience

ESL Tutor (Former Employee) - Remote - May 19, 2023

Early morning shift. Worked ~3 hours each morning and taught 1-5 classes a day, all depending on the demand. Classes were scheduled by the staff, so there was no stress to schedule that yourself. Classes were fast moving and engaging for the students. Occasionally had the disinterested student, but overall were great kids and a great experience. Left for various reasons, but I recommend for anyone who wants to work with children in a low stress environment, if you have a bubbly attitude, have a teaching or TEFL/TESOL certification, and want to make a little cash in a side-gig.

Flexible

Low pay but flexible. Low stress and fun teaching students who want to learn English. Set curriculum where you play games and encourage participation.

Fun way to earn extra income

Teacher (Former Employee) - New York, NY - April 20, 2023

The lessons are fun and engaging. The kids are eager and prepared to participate in the session. This job requires some technical multitasking abilities but it’s not completed once you get the hang of it. Early morning hours, but choose your own availability.

Great Platform, might be going downhill

ESL Teacher (Former Employee) - Remote - April 12, 2023

I loved working for QKids from 2019-2021. Pay was fine for WFH. I left when schedules became unpredictable and unfortunately pay scale hasn’t increased as of 2023.

Easy Side Job

Teacher (Current Employee) - Billings, MT - March 22, 2023

Qkids is a great side hustle, but not a full time job. Great for college students or teachers looking to make an easy extra hundred dollars a month! The hours do suck though if you are not EST!

Fun and Rewarding

Teacher (Former Employee) - Remote - March 19, 2023

This was my first teaching job, and I loved it! I taught up to 5 classes each day. The children are excited to learn and very fun to teach. Staff was very attentive of any technical issues and the rate system for the teachers was very fair. The pay was good!

Fun odd hours

Online English Tutor (Current Employee) - Remote - March 17, 2023

Can be fun for the right people. If you don’t mind being in front of the camera this can be fun. Work with children ranging from 4 to 12 years of age. Sometimes the age and materials being taught can be a bit challenging but nevertheless it’s a fun learning platform for the students.
