Hello Teneo, we are ready to learn when you are ready to do your jobs

Two days have been assigned to "orientation" which is ridiculous because all it consists of was a training module with a quiz at the end and then also a 20 min session explaining things we already know having been with you for years already, nothing useful or interesting at all. My daughter and I both found that "orientation" boring and useless. The module and quiz just rehash everything we already know. 90% of Wednesday and the whole of Thursday my daughter had no school besides this silly waste of time "orientation". Then, finally, this morning last minute, her calendar is populated and we are finally allowed to know what time lessons are etc. We join the first session which is Maths and then when we tried to join Afrikaans for the next session at 8:55, but they don't let her in to class. We then check the calendar and now everything that was there has suddenly disappeared. So, in a 3 day school week, where children in others schools have already started actual learning, my daughter has had one Maths class. I tried the Live Support so please, for heavens sake, do not respond with that canned response about contacting Live Support.

It's clear to me that Teneo needs to send comms out to parents and explain what the heck is going on. My daughter is anxious and nervous because of how messy Teneo is doing things

As other parents have said, this is just a money grabbing racket where we have to pay registration when the child is already a current student.

Dear Morgan

 We are currently experiencing an extremely high volume of new enrolments and queries from new families joining Teneo. Our teams are working round the clock to handle all the inbound admissions and parent/student queries. We can confirm that all our support channels are open and functioning but the high volumes are are impacting our usual response times which are currently longer than usual. All families receive detailed communications with step-by-step guidelines on how to login, attend induction, use the learning management system, join classroom lessons and access support. Our support channels include email, phone, the Family Portal for logging support tickets, and our Live Support channel which offers real-time video chat. All support channels are open during office hours but please note that the Live Support video chat channel is only available Mon-Fri, 7:30 - 9:30 am and 2:00 - 4:00 pm.

We are investigating your case and will contact you soonest. Please note that once admission applications are approved, there is a process that follows which includes loading subject courses and lesson schedules,  provisioning logins and emailing all the necessary information for students to attend induction and get into class. Generally our turnaround is 24-72 hours. As it seems your case has taken longer than our usual service timeframe, we are investigating. Please be assured that every family is extremely important to us at Teneo and we thank you for your patience in this regard. We intend to resolve your matter as a priority. 

Yours sincerely
Teneo Education
