Togetherhood

I’ve been teaching with this company since its early stages, and it’s disappointing to see how little value is placed on the educators who helped build it. Communication is consistently disorganized, unclear, and often dismissive. There seems to be a growing corporate mentality that prioritizes expansion over loyalty, professionalism, and genuine support for teachers.

When teachers feel unheard, undervalued, and unsupported, students and schools ultimately feel the effects as well. A successful educational environment starts with respecting and retaining quality educators.

While the pay may initially seem appealing, I would strongly encourage teachers to look beyond that and consider the overall culture and treatment of staff before committing long term.

There is a serious need for improvement in communication, professionalism, and the way concerns are handled internally. It’s unfortunate to see a company working with children’s education operate with so little care toward the people directly shaping those students’ experiences.

I’ve been working with Togetherhood for almost two years now and it’s been such a pleasure getting to work with so many different students at a variety of different sites. I get to teach subjects that excite me and get paid much more than I have at any other after school enrichment organization that I’ve worked for. 

The team used to take some time to respond to my emails but if I ever requested a phone call then it wasn’t an issue to connect with them, and the communication has improved a lot over the last several months. Once you do get in touch they’re very friendly!

One of the coolest parts of working here has been adding my own course to their online catalog, and then getting to teach it because they automatically marketed it to all the schools they work with. Would highly recommend working with Togetherhood!

My first season with Togetherhood was fantastic. They’re extremely organized and give you everything you need from the start to navigate their system confidently. You have the freedom to run your class in your own style, and the team is always available to help with logistics or anything that needs clarification.

Their pay model is also unique — instead of being limited to a flat rate, the structure allows you to earn more than most other opportunities in similar fields. In my experience, the compensation has been among the highest available.

Classes are limited, so I’d recommend joining as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on a great opportunity. Overall, it’s been a supportive, rewarding, and well-run experience.

A typical day is teaching enrichment classes that I mostly design on my own. One of the best parts of working with Togetherhood is the flexibility. I can choose the classes, schools, and also what I teach together with the enrichment provider. Most of the prep work outside of class is remote, and I just manage it on my own schedule. Very flexible overall.

Management is also very responsive, replies are usually quick whenever I have questions.

There’s no fixed lesson plan, just a course title and a short description. From there I build the curriculum based on the age group. So it really depends on your own teaching style. Good fit if you like creating workshops and building your own materials.

I am an actor in nyc and working at togetherhood has been amazing! Flexible hours, helpful staff, the chance to work at many schools and the pay is amazing! 

This is an absolutely amazing company - I worked kids and taught classes like science, martial arts, and ceramics. They love and care about their employees, the work is extremely fulfilling, and we are paid very well. I couldn't recommend them enough!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pretends that it cares about schools and students.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It doesn't actually respect people or their time.

 poor communication, some of the staff do not value dedicated and hard working teachers, can be petty, interrogative and biased, good pay, amazing students, and limited working opportunities.

The job atmosphere is nice enough and the locations they send you to are friendly but work is way too inconsistent and they’re HORRIBLE communicators.
