Great teaching platform with a large focus on teacher training, which has helped me to improve my teaching skills and become a better teacher. The students are wonderful and it’s a very flexible company to work for. I really enjoy working for this company. ?

Low Quality Education.

Rahbuhbuh

I just finished a year of teaching on Palfish. The platform uses Pearson - Big English curriculum. In general, it is not bad curriculum. But some of the modifications that the company makes to it are not very good. The company does not understand what it means to do a proper assessment of the child’s learning level nor do they understand how to properly place a child according to the level. They fail to understand that as teachers we must teach according to the child’s needs. Instead they are insistent that every slide, regardless of its relevance or need, be taught to the student. There is no communication between the platform’s “head teachers” and the English-speaking teacher who is teaching the classes. The company also practices some unethical behavior, such as telling a student that a teacher doesn’t want to teach them anymore so that they can move the student to another teacher. If the head teacher does not like an English teacher they will also file a complaint against the English teacher and say it is from the student’s family. Many teachers who teach on the platform do not have any teaching experience or qualifications. Having a college degree is not required. Teachers are expected to be more entertainers than actual facilitators of learning. Overall I would say it’s one of the poorest platforms for teaching.

Text with verification code never received

I’ve been trying to sign up for 2 weeks now and each time I put in my phone number, it says a verification code has been sent but I’ve never received the text with the code. I have tried emailing customer service about this and have gotten no response. I would like to sign up ASAP but as it is only an app, I don’t think there’s any other way to do so.

PalFish

I love being a PalFish teacher. Everyone is so helpful and they gave me my first TESL teaching job. They have given me an amazing opportunity. I know that I will have a rewarding career with them.

Unexplained “failed” verification

Can't save images?!

I was SO EXCITED to apply and work for PalFish because I saw so many of my peers working for this company. I’m currently working with another Online ESL company and have EVERYTHING I need to teach online, however, I WAS NOT EVEN FINISHED with my application when I received a “verification failed” notification with no explanation whatsoever. This was deeply upsetting because how can my “verification” fail if I had no submitted my application yet? Again, I was really excited to be part of this team. Not anymore. ?
