FAQ
Common questions
Which online ESL company has the most teacher votes in November 2026?
Preply, with a community score of 100 (votes counted November 1, 2026).
How is this ranking made?
Each company's community score is its teacher upvotes minus downvotes on the Online Teachers Company List, plus the stars from any published star review and starting votes based on how often teachers discuss the company in the OTC community. We rank every open company with a score above zero, highest first. Companies with the same score share a rank. Closed companies are left out. No editor picks, payments or sponsored placements change the order.
Does a high rank mean a company is hiring or pays well?
No. Votes show how teachers feel about a company, not whether it is hiring now or what it pays. Check each company page, the official pay report and the company's own site before you apply.
How can I change the ranking?
Press Vote up or Vote down on any company page. No account is needed: each browser can vote once per company. Signed-in teachers can also leave a star review, and its stars add to the score. The list is rebuilt every month from the latest votes.
