• I have still not been paid by blingabc
  It is now the 15th of the month have been with them for 2 months and have to wait for my salary every time me more or less begging them to pay me. They are extremely u helpful. Do not recommemd them to a anybody

• Very strict company. They treat you like a number. Easy to get fired. I am a native speaker with a degree, TEFL and 8+ years experience yet I was offered 15USD per hour.

  • I don't agree with the negative comments at all, I have been working for them for years in 2 different stints. Yes, the money is less than before but what do you expect? The online teaching industry has changed, especially with teaching Chinese kids. They pay better than most, $15 per hour and with a generous bonus system which means you get more like $20 per hour if you do a few weekend classes and don't miss classes. Very hard to find a better 3rd party company that gets you plenty of clients and provides good interactive material for the classes. I don't find them strict at all, the staff are friendly and helpful. I have never felt pressure or like I would lose my job even when I have had a few issues over the years. A good and fair company to work for, especially in the current climate.

• They are not paying 21 - 27 dollars per hour, seems they have joined the ranks of the exploiters. They offered me 12 - 15 dollars.

  Too much BS for too little

• Just interviewed with them. They are not offering the same rates as before. They're offering $12 - $15 per hour.

  • Hi Dave!

    Kindly appreciated

• I have had the opposite experience of others above like Pmm and ABarron. I joined in June and passed the interview process without any problems. The pay is great, only problem being I haven't had a single class in 6 months. I have asked why and they said something about being in a lower bracket from the mock class (the second highest) and I should retake the mock class and increase availability. Frankly, I don't want to. I work with another company so am not going to jeopardise actual money earned with potential from Bling ABC. I only stay on the books as I'm not losing out. If they give me classes then great but seems a waste of time to me.

• I have just finished my first week of classes with Bling. It took me about a month to get classes because I was hired right as a semester was starting. Now that I have been given classes I am fully booked with all my open slots (I only opened 10 slots a week to try it out) So far I love it! I love the interesting curriculum.. The class sizes and classroom functions. All contact with the staff have been professional and informative. Is my favorite teaching platform so far.

  • I worked with them before, when things were.reallu good. However, they have changed management. Not as friendly and not as realistic now. They are more about making money on their end. Be careful applying here. It's a waste of time.

• I've been with blingabc since March 2020. I got classes right away! Didn't even wait 1 week and was getting many classes. Love this company, the time flies! Don't plan on leaving them at all.

  • Hi Pmm
    Can you or anyone who've completed application to Bling ABC help.
    I managed to get into the website, but on the very first phase entering your personal info - I got stuck.
    The website asks for my skype id - I am 100% sure it is correct - even copied and pasted a few times to ensure it is 100%
    If I try to submit info I keep on getting same message - Complete Scype ID - It's a compulsory field so cannot be left blank thus I cannot complete application
    HELP PLEASE!!!

• I just recently heard about BlingABC. I normally work in Italian schools, and supplement my other hours working with VIPKid (I am in my third year with them) . So because of COVID- 19 I thought it would be a great fit. Yesterday morning I had my interview. Wow, What a disaster! I had not seen so much unprofessionalism when it comes to online companies.
  The person interviewing me arrived late. He mentioned he could not hear me. As he is trying to speak to me I see he is sitting in a huge room. It looks like a call center with many people and so much noise in the background. He just sat there and stared at me. I had just taught five classes with my other company before this quasi interview, not sure why he did not hear me. I typed in the message box if we could meet on Skype. He sent me his ID- I entered Skype and sent him a message and waited a few minutes. Nothing, so I called him.
  The person interviewing me seemed angry, not a single smile or greeting. He asked, “do you have a Master’s Degree and a TEFL?” Strange question being that it was written in my submitted CV.
  It all went downhill from there. He told me to start my mock, pretending he was a student. I could not hear anything as I tried to go through this mock. Stange, PDF on my computer, awkward telling him to circle etc. when how would he even know what slide I was on. All I heard was the background noise. After the third slide, he said “Stop, we do not have time for more. I see you used props. “ and he jumped into a spill about the company.
  He mentioned the 40 minute classes started with a base pay of 14 USD, then he just ran through all the other incentives. There was a point I could not hear him because of someone speaking extremely loud in Chinese right next to him. I kindly asked him to repeat because I was not able to hear him. His response was “That is my boss, I can not tell my boss to be quiet.” I tried to ask questions, he did not even ask if I had any, he then cut me short not really responding to my questions.
  I was told there are set times to sign up or open slots, but it is not guaranteed I will be teaching. He also mentioned to me, “ You cannot juggle both jobs!” When I mentioned to him my plan was to use VIPKid to supplement the unfilled times. He then said “I have another interview starting in a few seconds.” I greeted him goodbye and he closed the call. It was the most bizarre interview I have ever had. Wow, what unprofessionalism and rudeness. Overall, I wish I would have just stayed away from this company. It was definitely a waste of time!

• Well ,they rejected me although I was having everything in that they were very impressed by my credentials but due to to higher number of applicants we cannot process your application .
  Very bizarre excuse to be honest.

• I couldn't be more happy with BlingABC. I initially signed contracts with Bling, Whales, VIPKid, and SayABC about 5 months ago. I've since dropped SayABC, as their pay-rate is just too low. Bling consistently fills at least half of my availability, sometimes filling nearly 100%. The communication with teacher support is excellent, and the pay rate is spectacular. Getting time off is easy, as long as you don't currently have classes booked during that time. Just plan ahead. If I teach 4 "large-classes" on a weekend, it's $108 for 3 hours. That's fantastic. Also, very rarely do I have more than 6 or 7 kids show up for those "large-classes", and I've even had only one or two students show. I'm very happy with Whales as well, and VIPKid is VIPKid. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have about any of the four companies. Good luck!

  • So for BlingABC if one is hired at this time of year - the next term is not until July - are there any hours from now until July? Any tips on passing the demo interview?

  • Hello Dugen I have a question for you about BlingABC. I want to apply but I was wondering about booking time off during school holidays and family holidays. IS that possible, what is their policy? Or am I committed to working for the whole semester? Thank you

  • I was wondering what are the teaching ours for BlingABC

  • Thank you for the info on Bling. I too dropped SAYABC and VIP overbooked me the 10 of the 14 classes would be no-shows. I’m working for a small company and now have been hired at Bling - I’ve done the large group training. I’m trying to decided on my availability, and wanted to know what the most popular times are on the weekends. I’m Central Standard Time in the US.
