Thank you for posting this. I just finished the application process. I haven't started yet but i will soon. I am reviewing their curriculum. It looks fun and very interactive.
There times are open and they have students in North America as well, peak times are in China for bookings but you also have weekends. No fixed times, you can open up what suits you but peak times will be best. No companies like cancellations but they work on a point system so you have some flexibility.
Hi, I don't work for any companies anymore :) I teach independently with my students. I do have a couple of contracts with a couple of companies though including VIPTeacher.
Which one do you prefer? vipkid or lingostar? I'm looking for summer work and wanted to know which one is better. I've heard VIPkid is also not hiring right now?
Thank you for the informative video! Just fyi, the part where it says that associate's degrees also work seems to be incorrect. I just attempted to apply and got a message back saying that they were specifically looking for bachelor's degrees or higher. Oh well. Maybe I can apply again once I have my bachelor's. Just wanted to inform the other folks here and hopefully save them some time.
They do prefer a Bachelor's. Perhaps you can email them directly and let them know you would still like to be considered and could you have a chance to apply?
On the signup page they ask you for a verification code before you’ve given them any information to send a code to! It appears to be impossible to sign up, or is it just me?
Where are you from? Are you sure its Lingostar? There are a couple of other "Lingo" companies out there. They are committed to not over hiring and are in need of NES.
@@Al-wf3ut+1 Hired in early Dec and was given 1 lesson, followed by a lull - only to be given a handful through the current day. Bit strange as I've followed Tim's channel an his insight is usually spot on but this one was different in that sense
@@onlineteacherdude1284 Hi, thanks for answering. I would like to know how I can find students, because I have purpose to create courses on teachable platform.
@@djefpetersonlabastil1491generally speaking, are you referring to applying to and getting hired onto an existing online platform such as the one discussed in this video or others like cambly, engoo and others - to then create teaching lessons and plans for your sessions? Or do you mean you want to stsrt your own platform and create your own client base from ground up on your own?
always USD. I've never seen a company pay anything but USD. I said "Dollars" so it wouldn't be Phil. Persos.....14 pesos / hour haha - that would not be good!
14 dollar an hour is not worth my time -- bills don't get paid with that. I get 18-30 an hour now. Remember as a contractor you have to pay your own taxes etc. Nope!!!!!
@@onlineteacherdude1284 while I agree to a point many of these companies exploit people who are highly educated and have a lot to offer. We have a cost living crisis here in the US (many other places too) we need to hold ourselves up high as professionals. Thank you.
Yes and I've read in reddits teachingeslonline subreddit that Scots are hired straight on as native speakers just as any other UK nation ... the same thread made a comparison of how cambly and another 1 or 2 platforms were hiring South Africans as higher priority native teachers over Scots and Irish teachers
This company is actually one of the worst I have ever worked for, and that's saying something. I have fought employers in court for my paycheck, and this company was still worse. They find any excuse to penalize your paycheck and always side with the parent even if the mistake was their own negligence. I was stolen from when a parent reported she didn't like how I pronounced the word "Square". Overall Lingostar is one of the shittiest companies I ever had the displeasure of working for.
@@onlineteacherdude1284 Thanks for replying! Yeah I agree with you. If someone is desperate and has no other choice they are better than nothing, but as soon as you can upskill I highly recommend leaving them.
