Lan-master | English Tutors

Working at LanguageMaster is a awesome! Their platform is incredibly flexible, and the staff excels in both communication and friendliness. Also, the app is very user-friendly on both ends, from the teacher and the students. This makes communication with the students very interactive. Meeting students from all over China adds to the enjoyment, and the freedom to log on and off at my convenience makes it the most flexible job I've ever had. Happy to be part of Lan-Master!

I really like working on the platform! Its gamified and I really like the free talk option so I can teach spontaneously at a time that works for me!

Great side hustle for workers who need extra income. Very convenient app for a less stressful job.

I agree with the other prospective teachers who wrote negative reviews on this company. I worked as a manager for them for several months and can say Lucy (the S. African interviewing teachers, who is referenced as “black” in other reviews) is delaying or blocking your success, as she views qualified teachers as competition (teachers are competing for students on the app). She even delayed verifying my master’s degree for months—with continued excuses—and I was on the management team! Worse, I caught her throttling other teachers’ acceptance—even though they were more qualified to teach than she is (she has a thick, non-native accent). When I continually tried to being up the fact there were non-native speakers in my department pretending to be native, no action was ever taken. The owner needs to wake up and realize she is ruining his reputation and business, as he is blindly allowing her to make company decisions based on her self-interests (she once emotionally argued with me that non-native speakers could teach pronunciation better than native speakers—then proceeded to send me an anonymous, but profane message). There are more issues, but time does not allow me to elaborate. This app is a hard pass.

I highly recommend Language Master. I have taught ESL online for over 8 years and when many companies teaching children went under with the new Chinese Ministry of Education laws I started teaching for Language Master. Students are lovely, and I have only had great experiences with the LM Admins. They are very good maintaining open communication with teachers.

Having been on the app for many years as a teacher I have helped many students achieve their goals in IELTS speaking. It’s a great platform to find students to teach and most importantly the company pay on time or if a delay of a few days due to holiday they inform you … fantastic

I’d give less than one star if I could. The “commission” this app keeps off of teachers is INSANE. Teachers get roughly 30% of what students pay for lessons. AND THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE LONGER YOU WORK THERE! the system is arranged so that the harder YOU work the more money THEY make. Unless you love running on Chinese hamster wheels, RUN AWAY.

I tried applying to teach here to fill up my free time, which I am not teaching at, because it isn’t overcrowded with teachers like Palfish but the whole thing was a joke. Firstly, your profile automatically gets set as a “student” so as soon as you register, teachers start attacking you with messages for you to learn English with them. Secondly, they use different rates and pay non-natives ridiculously lower. Thirdly, it takes them forever to get back to you to apply. I was bounced to somewhere in S. Africa to a lady who had an ‘audio’ interview with me. She kept going on about how they don’t have a racist hiring system and that she is black, blah blah, then she comes up with the results for me saying there is a “slight accent issue” with my application and that they can’t sell me as a British teacher because they charge more for those! I have over 14 years of experience, a Master’s degree in Education, a Cambridge CELTA but speak with a neutral accent as I am bi-racial. I had to tell them my whole life story from A to Z but apparently that wasn’t enough! On the other hand, if you don’t know anything about teaching and want to make some extra money on the side (getting paid peanuts) and practise your teaching, it could be a good start as there are even kids teaching there with no experience whatsoever. Anyways good luck to them and the students. 😂

The so called staff are terrible.

First of all ,l have taught with other apps on the market but lm think this is the best and this is why. 1.You can make a decent income as long as you open more evening slots .The app also rewards teachers who sell the courses.You can make lots of extra money just by selling courses 2.The App has teachers from all over the world .They do not discriminate against skin color as long as you have a neutral accent and you’re a qualified teacher 3.The app constantly has updates which make it more user friendly .Connection issues is something that used to bother me in the beginning but that has greatly improved .
