  • I started to work in this company in June 2021. In the beginning, I liked this company very much. The HRs were very helpful. I loved the kids.
    But since there is no payment, I can't work just for free. They were promising to pay my June salary in late July and now in late August. At the moment of my hiring, nobody told me that there will be such long delays in payment. My Agent Ivy from iBest Teacher just informed me that Waijiaoyi sometimes will defer the payment. But as a result, recently I learned that almost 100 teachers were not paid or were just partly paid with delays for 6 months and more. Some of them are still waiting for their payments for November 2020.
    I do not recommend working for this company. You will just waste your time.
    This company even does not pay their trainers and Chinese HRs. When I started to work for this company there was one team of HRs. Now all of them left this company because of non-payment.

  • Don't waste your time with this company. I've been working there for 3 years and since last year they are late with salaries. Teachers are waiting for their slaries since November. They keep lying and giving us false info. They aren't even paying their HRs, it's pathetic at this point. No one is answering messages anymore, DON'T WORK FOR FREE!!!

  • Don't work here; They haven't paid teachers in months. Like many other teachers, I had to providing my services because they kept delaying our payments.

  • Do not work for the company, they don't pay us for already 8 months. You will just spend your time.

  • Do not work with them!!! THEY DO NOT PAY TEACHERS AT ALL!!!There are many teachers waiting for salary from last year.

  • "...teach groups of 8-30 students of 5-16 year olds."About this sentence, maybe you can make a little adjustment about the last two words.

  • I had an interview with them at 17.00 and the recruiter never arrived for the interview. What is going on. Kind regards Christel

  • I have been an employee at Waijiaoyi for the past year. It is a startup which has its headquarters in Haidian, Beijing. The company offers two separate online platforms. One where teachers may be employed from their home and can work online using their computer and one that requires the physical presence of the teacher in Beijing. I am occupied in the second of the two.

    The post is particularly interesting because it is a blend of teaching and acting. It moves away from the traditional classroom. The teachers work in a green room and are projected onto a virtual reality background which is then broadcasted to schools across China. During the broadcast students who are online are called to interact with the foreign teacher. In turn, they are also facilitated in their learning, by the help of a second teacher who supports them with her physical presence in the classroom.

    All in all, my experience from working with this company has been overwhelmingly positive. Bearing in mind that it is a startup, teacher feedback is always welcome, changes are always being made so as to facilitate foreign staff and there is an obvious development that shows a promising future. Another important point is that experienced and hardworking teachers are awarded accordingly and there is much incentive in the direction of professional development. Coming to work here was a good choice and not only was I amply compensated in a financial sense but also in the way I have developed as a teacher in view of developing educational technologies.
