The scaled pay levels are especially reliant on having active, regular students, while the minimum peak hours commitment probably won&#8217;t suit teachers requiring more flexibility. However, the few positive opinions that have been shared to date do provide glimpses of promise and potential should the company continue to grow and iron out any growing pains it has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingostar.me\/teach\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apply for Lingostar jobs online<\/a> or explore our list of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/\">other teaching companies that are hiring<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"\n    mailpoet_form_popup_overlay\n      \"><\/div>\n  <div\n    id=\"mailpoet_form_2\"\n    class=\"\n      mailpoet_form\n      mailpoet_form_html\n      mailpoet_form_position_\n      mailpoet_form_animation_\n    \"\n      >\n\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n     #mailpoet_form_2 form.mailpoet_form { margin-bottom: 0;
