They work on a flexible employment arrangement with us (earning by number of classes they do with us), but with totally the right type of skills and experience. We have a fairly strict selection process, and our teachers are typically much better than what children have access to in their neighbourhoods.
Also class ratings are very high, averaging 4.5 on 5, so students / parents are also seeing the quality.
We're also paying our teachers about 2.7-3 X what WHJ does, and that's what it takes to get good teachers.
Our teachers are performers, experts or teachers who engage kids in meaningful class activities that stress on children building / creating in class. For e.g. our Western Vocals is taught by an actual singer.
A lot of good teachers are looking to supplement their income since the pandemic has made learning online, and we vet, train and enable them to teach our curriculum. That's what we referred to as gig-workers.
Isn't this what WhiteHatJr is doing too? This sounds like a horrible idea.
