Not impressed at all difficult to contact
I don't understand the system.
It's half term they don't go back to school until the 20th and I keep getting emailed to tell me that my child should be in lessons.
I sent in a two support ticket got cryptic messages back one telling me that the school demanded that she'd be there when I contacted my daughter school they told me they're out of the office until the 20th
So I sent another message back to purple ruler and now they've sent me my daughter's login details.
Why is the system so complicated I worry that her education is going to suffer she's got her exams next week
I don't find them very responsive on emails is difficult to contact them and when you do get a phone call from them they're speaking broken English and they don't understand what you're trying to explain to them as I we are an autistic family it makes it quite difficult for me to get an answer from them
I would've preferred to get a female teacher instead of the male but that has not been changed .. as my daughter says she feels uncomfortable and keeps the camera off which is obviously not achieving what she needs when her exams are so close...

Terrible interview process
My experience interviewing with PurpleRuler was extremely disappointing. The session started with no greeting or introduction. I was simply told to run a speed test, and shortly after submitting it the interview was ended with a quick “thank you.” There was no opportunity to introduce myself, discuss my teaching experience, or explain my qualifications.
As a teacher with several years of experience and strong professional references, I expected a more professional and respectful process.
I was also uncomfortable with being asked to share device specifications such as Device ID or Product ID, which can raise device and cyber-security concerns if not handled transparently.
After the interview, I noticed several similar experiences reported by other applicants here, which suggests this may be part of a wider issue with the process.
I hope the company improves how it engages with educators applying to work with them.

Dear Saba Mustafah Sadeeq,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We would like to clarify that at Purple Ruler, teaching and safeguarding are not separate responsibilities. All educators are required to follow safeguarding and child-protection obligations as part of their role, in line with legal and educational standards. This includes checking on a learner's wellbeing where appropriate.
We understand that this may not align with everyone's expectations, and we regret if this process felt concerning. Our intention is always to act in the best interests of learners' safety and welfare.
If you would like to discuss your concerns further or raise a formal complaint, we invite you to contact our support team directly at support@purpleruler.com, where the matter can be addressed appropriately and in confidence.

Purple Ruler as demanding but fair, and genuinely invested in both students and staff
I’m a South African teacher who has been working for Purple Ruler for 2 years now, and Purple Ruler is not my full-time employer, but it has become a very important part of my professional life. Over the past year, the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. There are clear structures, strong pedagogy and a real effort to support both learners and teachers. I’ve been given genuine opportunities to grow, from trying new programmes and age groups to taking on more responsibility and developing my skills in SEND, safeguarding and feedback.
I won’t pretend the workload is light. There is a lot to do, and expectations around planning, reporting, and quality are high. But the difference with Purple Ruler is that management actually engages with this; they listen, offer guidance, adjust timelines where possible, and help you prioritise so that the tasks feel manageable rather than impossible. Communication has improved a lot, and I feel more supported and “seen” than I have with many other online teaching companies.
Overall, I’d describe Purple Ruler as demanding but fair, and genuinely invested in both students and staff. If you are prepared to work hard and care about doing things properly, it’s a place where you can grow, feel part of something meaningful and still keep the good vibes.

Dear Ste,
Thank you for your feedback. As you know, you contacted us directly after the lesson and we spoke with you the same day. Every lesson is reviewed within 24 hours, and in this case, we had already identified and addressed the issue before your call.
Our review confirmed that the teacher’s comments were part of casual conversation about your child’s dog and not malicious in intent. We agreed the topic took up too much time, and we acted immediately to ensure lessons remain focused on learning.
We are committed to safeguarding and transparency, and we appreciate the opportunity to reassure families of the standards we hold.

Amateurish interview
I had an interview with an academic leader. He missed our first interview and blamed the calendar. We had the interview after rescheduling it, he turned up and he looked like a child, Asked me some generic questions instead of asking me questions to challenge my experience as a teacher. I felt that the interview was very amateurish. I received an E-mail from them but didn't open it.

Do Not Recommend
Teachers will be micromanaged and spoken down to. There is more of a concern on client relations than making a difference in the students they enroll. The pay is very very poor and unstable, and the unpaid hours making lessons and attending workshops. I would not recommend this company unless they seriously overhaul their management and value their teaching staff. A fantastic idea that has been ruined by the people running it, and I can confirm that most of the good reviews are written by management.

LISTEN TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS (NOT THE FAKE POSITIVE ONES)
This is an extremely horrible company to work for. They hire people from my country to pay them less, even without qualifications. They are exploitive, and will drop good teachers if they can pay someone less. The management only care about how much money they can make. Please listen to the negative reviews, and not the 'positive' reviews that the CEOS have emotionally manipulated management to write, or even have written themselves (see below.) Cand**e makes the teachers feel bad. I am pretty sure they use AI for all their documents.

Absolute waste of time to all ESL teachers avoid this company. They make lots of false promises and steal Whales English courseware. The courseware is so boring I feel sorry for the kids. Also they withhold your pay if you miss classes and have barely any students. Extremely unprofessional I'm so happy it was a side job and I left after Month 2. They are always looking at ways to deduct your bonuses. Absolutely horrendous company I only got 4 students and then that dropped to 3. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!
