What is LinkedLingo?
LinkedLingo is a language website that connects native tutors from all over the world with people wishing to learn a language so that they can have private classes online using Skype. Basically, LinkedLingo is a substitute for traditional newspaper ads, but with many advantages.
What are the advantages of teaching online using LinkedLingo?
By registering with LinkedLingo, any student that enters the website can access your profile. This allows you to increase the number of students you teach.
You will also receive feedback to guide you in improving your classes for other students. The better rated you are, the larger the number of students who are likely to want to learn from you.
Convenient: As students are spread across different time-zones, you can choose the schedule that best suits you - it doesn’t matter whether it is late at night or early in the morning. Furthermore, you won’t waste your time travelling to your students. Every second of your time will be rewarded.
Safer: You don’t need to go to anybody’s home or take any strangers into yours.

How much do I get paid?
You chose how much you get paid. There are no rules, but take into account that if you choose too high a price, students are going to be less inclined to learn with you.
How do I get paid?
At a maximum of 40 days after the class you have conducted, you will receive the price you indicated in your registration in your PayPal account.
What is a free trial? Is it mandatory?
This is an opportunity for students to get to know their tutor. It takes around 10 minutes, enough time to get a feeling for how you teach and to discuss the student’s objectives. Most of our tutors offer a free trial as it is often requested by students. It is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended.
What are classes like?
You are free to do the classes in the way you and your students feel is most convenient and beneficial. Use the feedback you receive to keep improving. If you use third party materials during the class make sure you have permission.
How often do I have to teach?
It is up to you. You can teach as little or as often as you wish.
