How we pay  

• We pride ourselves in being an affordable learning option for students, so students pay CAD $3, $4 and $5/hour for classes. Teachers are paid CAD $10/hour depending on experience.
• Pay is per group and monthly. You will make CAD 200 per month per group.
• You get paid on the 1st of every month for the previous month’s work. We offer direct deposit!
• You can take on as many groups as you wish. We have an internal board where we post available groups. Some teachers teach 2 groups only while others do 10 groups (8 weekday groups and 2 weekend groups)!

Minimum commitment to teach

• The minimum commitment to teach with us is 4 months.
• This means that if you assign yourself to a group, you have to stay with them for 4 months. If you leave before the 4 months are over, there will be a deduction of pay. This is to deter teachers from selecting groups that they are not ready to teach.
•  Abandoning a group within the 1st week will result in the forfeiture of payment for that group.
