Questions
Is the joining fee really only paid once?+
Yes. ฿199 once, after your application is approved. There is no monthly fee, no subscription and no charge for months you don't teach.
Do I get paid for my first lesson with a new student?+
Yes. Every lesson is paid the same way, including the first one. Some platforms keep the whole fee for a new student's first lesson. We don't.
Do I need my own lesson materials?+
No. Conversation topics and full courses are ready inside the classroom. Pick one and it appears on screen for you and your student. You can still bring your own ideas.
How do students pay?+
Students top up a credit balance and pay for each lesson they book. There are no long packages or memberships, so students book week by week, and you never have to chase payments.
Can I choose my own hours?+
Yes. You open your available times week by week, so every week can be different. Close days whenever you're on holiday.
Can I bring my own students?+
Yes, but once they're on Lingo Lane all their lessons must be booked and taught here. That keeps everyone protected by the same payment and cancellation rules.
How do I get paid?+
Your earnings are shown on your dashboard for every lesson and are paid to you by bank transfer.
Please also read the teacher rules before you apply.
