It is not $10 / hour.

It depends on your nationality and birthplace, which is quite racist if you ask me.

As long as you are an ESL, you should be paid the same as everyone else.

But .

If you are from Romania, your base rate it 3$/hour. Extremely low, and the bonuses are never guaranteed, there are too many factors ( student's moods, their connection, if they are forgetful or not, if they are interested to give you feedback or not etc. ) implied .

If you are from Serbia, your base rate is $2/ hour.

If you are from Portugal, you get $6/hour.

If you are from United States, you get $10/hour .

The first two are considered 3rd world countries, I am afraid.

So it doesn't matter if you have a Bachelor/Master's Degree, Diplomas, TESOL/TEYFL certificates, superior studies, years of teaching experience, they will judge you based on your nationality, not on your performance.

So how does that sound ?Like racism? Yes, I think so. Like exploitation? Yes, I think so.

Even if you have outstanding results and amazing feedback as a Romanian/Serbian/European teacher on TutorAbc, you still have to work 2-3 times harder than other ESL teacher.

So I work at nights, 8-10 hours almost every day to get a $500 ( even beggars make more here ) pay per month because If I were to work regular hours I'd be paid $200-300 .

Yes, they give you opportunities but still you have to work so much harder than teachers from other countries who may or may not have results as good as yours or quality service as you can provide .

So is that fair ?

Is that racism?

Is that exploitation ?

You tell me, because my inner voice already knows these answers.
