Lingostar
Lingostar Review
Lingostar <—- (Click here to Apply) is based in Singapore. They do 1 to 1 classes with mostly Chinese children. They are looking for native English speaking teachers or Filipinos with a Bachelor’s degree and a TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certificate. Teachers must be available to teach at least 10 hours per week during peak hours (5 to 9pm during weekdays and all day on weekends). Pay starts at $7 USD per class (30 minutes) for native speakers. After three regular students, you will get $7.50 per class, after 8 regular students, you get $8 per class. You get a raise for every six +/- 2 regular students until a maximum of $20 USD per hour. Filipino teachers only get paid $3 to $6 USD per hour.

Lingostar is the worst company. Their platform is designed well but you never deal with a real person, its all automated messages and they find every reason to not pay you. I opened a ton of slots and had parents booking and cancelling up to 10 minutes before class with no sort of payment for the late cancellation. I had no real students for over 2-3 weeks and then I accidentally overbooked myself and decided to take a no show bc it wasn’t worth the $2.50 for the trial class. They hit me with a $10 no show and nothing for all the no shows and cancellations ! The only company honestly that you could end up in the red rather than making money. My word of advice is to find another company. In the same time I worked for Lingostar I made $1,000 USD between two other companies and am at -$2.50 (negative !) with LIngostar !!

They do not pay for finished classes ,deduct money if you didn’t use enough puppets or manycam,or clown like crazy…I don’t recommend this school.No admins ,only robots and automatic messages but they know how to cheat.

Hi Filipino Teachers, We have $122 / month Internet, our housing is $3,000 per month, Other utilities tack on another $400 per month, and we have to pay taxes at 28% to 40% of our earnings. Any questions?
