Saffa here, pay is max $7.5 now even if you’re a level 3 teacher and they’ve extended the teaching time without increasing the pay. The only real pros about this job are the pick up/drop shift system and having the monitors during class time.

A truly trash company that only cares about fleecing both the teachers and the students. A bad actor in the field, does not honor it’s own contract. I was released without notice and without payment of my last shifts. Education is substandard. Latin America deserves better, and so do you.

Lack of communication between mangement and workers. Never straight forward with answers. Last minute decisions that effect every one. Pay is below a living wage, even in Latin America. NO advancement opportunities nor pay increases for cost of living. Cut hours with little notice. Cut pay with little notice. Tiered pay for day, evening, week night, and weekend shifts. All pay was decreased, especially weekend shifts, starting September 2023. Been working there since 2019 and the lack of communication has become worse. Daniel Tsai is the worst, only is in it for the bottom line of their company, not the interests of the teachers who make them the money. They skim $2 from every hour you work…so if Open English pays $9, LH pays $7. No you have to fight for hours and cannot get enough to justify the headaches.

Worked as ESL teacher with Latin Hire/Open English since 2019. All was great – plenty of classes, training, assistance – until May 2023. I went three weeks in May without scheduled classes with few lessons available for pickup. Salary was lowered to 7-8 USD effective June 1st. Hence, I’m looking for work elsewhere.

Latin Hire is a third party hiring for Open English.. I honestly don’t know why they are still hiring people. I am currently working there they are not giving the teachers enough shifts.
We all beg and fight over picking up whatever shifts other teachers forfeit.
We go on weeks without having any shifts assinged under our own schedule. It’s not just me. Many teachers don’t get shifts assigned in weeks!!
Oh should I mention that not only did they ask me to transition from teaching children to teaching adults because of some changes they made and therefore not many teachers were going to be needed in children’s classes.
I had to agree to them lowering my salary. My pay went from $13 usd to $9 usd but I was promised to always have shifts since adult classes are 24/7.
but ITS NOT TRUE!
JUST SKIP ALL THIS DRAMA FIND A SERIOUS COMPANY TO WORK FOR !

Worked for LH for about two years until the suddenly terminated my contract with no notice, claiming to have no hours for me – even though I had further hours scheduled for the month.
They are basically a hiring company for Open English based in Chile to try to get around labor codes in the US. Not recommended

It is galling that these people pay slave wages while their hq sits on one of the richest zip codes in the States. That’s all I could think about about while teaching their 1 v. many classes. Students are excellent.
But these are one of the…
bad guys!!

Not a professional company. Doesn’t honor its own contracts. You will be just a number that is easily replaced. Serious teachers should look elsewhere.
