What do the pencils mean?
Well documentedAn established company with plenty of public records: registered business, reviews, BBB rating, clear pay, years in business.
Community verifiedFew public records, which is normal for churches, nonprofits and small local businesses. Confirmed by us by phone or in person, or referred by a local teacher.
Limited infoPassed every deal-breaker check, but little else could be confirmed. Newer companies and online platforms often start here.
Start your ownNot a job posting. A business idea that uses your teaching skills, where you set the pay and hours.
Pending reviewThe AI first pass is done and it's waiting for a human check. Not recommended yet.
Not listedFailed a deal-breaker (fees to get hired, MLM pay, scam reports) or isn't a real job. Shown so you know to steer clear.
Pencil colors show how much we could verify, not how good the job is. The small pencil ratings on each listing come from teachers who actually worked there.
This hub is a starting point, not a guarantee. We check every listing before it goes up, but things change. Open "Do your own homework" on any listing before you apply or share personal information. How we check listings

Matches for you

Companies that hire teachers

Education companies that regularly hire educators. Some post part-time, per diem or contract roles. Check each careers page for what's open now.

Checked and not listed

These come up on teacher boards all the time. We looked into them so you don't lose time, money, or personal information.

Deal-breakers: never listed

  1. Asks you to pay the employer for training, a starter kit, or a "deposit" to get work. Your own costs, like gas, a headset, or a certification, are shown on each listing so there are no surprises.
  2. Pay comes mainly from recruiting other people (MLM structure).
  3. Recruits only through WhatsApp, Telegram, or text from a stranger.
  4. Asks for your bank or Social Security information before a real interview.
Pay floor: listed jobs pay at least $14/hr, or the same per shift or per class. Work where you set your own rate, like private tutoring or pet sitting, is shown with its fee structure instead. A few flexible, work-from-home jobs that pay less are kept because teachers ask for them, and each one is clearly marked.
Missing information is shown as missing, not as a failure. A church with no BBB profile is normal; a company with an F rating is a flag. Teacher ratings are separate from our verification level and appear only after 3 ratings from teachers who worked there.
