About Allschool
Founded in Singapore, Allschool is an innovative, online, highly interactive teaching platform that brings live classes with native-speaking teachers to small group classes, worldwide.
Allschool Class Type
Allschool features three different types of classes:
One-time classes
One-time classes are just that, offered one time. They are not part of a series of classes. Parents pay individually to enrol their children in this class type of class.
Multi-day classes
Multi-day classes are larger topics that need to be split into multiple smaller chunks, but have a definite amount of classes. For example, a five-class course on grammar.
Ongoing classes
Ongoing classes meet weekly. Students are welcome to join at any time without needing to catch up with previous material. They may also withdraw at any time. These courses are paid for by subscriptions. Ongoing classes usually have a general theme that is consistent, so that students can join at any point without having to have taken the previous class.

teachers with some experience.
teachers who already have their own material, or can make some easily given their teaching experience.
teachers interested in offering lessons their way - with their own material, schedule, academic approach, etc.

teachers who enjoy teaching topics other than strictly English.
Things to consider:
Allschool is a more independent platform.
Teachers must offer their own courses with their own material.
