They claimed that you can set your own rate and tutors should not underestimate their value, and that the platform is good for those looking for a side income. Totally wrong. You are required to set a very low rate at the beginning, and are only allowed to raise a little bit after selling a number of classes. That means if you are looking for a side job to complement your income with a couple of hours a day on it, you will never meet that requirement and will always be stuck at that humiliating rate. The situation is worsened by the high commission they charge. 30% for those who don't work a lot for them. And finally you get something lower than minimum pay. And the fine print of the agreement says you are not allowed to work for other platforms. In other words, you are expected to work full time for them before you can get a somewhat fairer payment. Besides, you often get scams from the AI matching system. You are expected to respond to any matching within 3 minutes. If you miss a lot of matchings, your rating on the platform will be lowered. Sometimes the system accepted a class request on your behalf, without your consent. The only humane side of the platform is the mentor program, at least you can be in touch with a real human. My mentor is nice, but can offer no helpful suggestions regarding the above issues. 

I think this platform may be good for new tutors who want to practise their teaching skills and don't have pressing financial needs. However, such tutors still have to learn by trial and error as there's no training or teaching materials provided by the platform. 

My experience with Amazing Talker has had its fair share of challenges. One significant issue is the limited number of students available for lessons. This scarcity makes it difficult to maintain a consistent teaching schedule and income.

Another problem I've encountered is the quality of student-teacher matching. The matches often seem poorly aligned, making it challenging to establish effective teaching relationships and achieve desired learning outcomes.

Additionally, there is a persistent issue with the time allocated for connecting with new students. The time frames provided by the platform often feel unrealistic, leaving little room for proper introductions and effective lesson planning.

While I've faced these challenges, I have yet to seek advice or solutions and am simply sharing my experience with the platform.

This platform is maybe one of the most unfair I've ever worked for pay wise, they take from each lesson 38% fee, which is a shameful high percentage, unless you're willing to work 24/7 and lower this fee rate. I think it is not worth it. Also, they force you to offer discount coupons (as if your pay is not enough low already) and 1$ trial lessons (of course, they will deduct you 38% fee from those lessons too, so you're not going to make even 1$ for 25 minutes of your work, I mean, seriously don't you feel ashamed of yourselves doing this? Seriously?)
As if this low pay is not enough, not only they take from you a good percentage fee for your work, they won't even provide teachers a DECENT customer service, I had a huge problem with a new student, and I've lost them for this, and they did not provide me any assistance at all for that. Congratulations. This is how you treat people that work for you. Really, shame on you.

AmazingTalker is no doubt an amazing platform to learn languages. This is a user-friendly website, and everything is pretty straightforward. Besides lesson planning and teaching, each teacher is also allowed to set their own pricing and market themselves. As a bilingual teacher, I customize lessons to students as they all have different reasons to learn English and Chinese. I’m also amazed by how each teacher has a designated admin officer, where they will assist you whenever you have questions. Once you meet certain requirements, you can even become a mentor to help the new teachers that joined AmazingTalker. I would definitely recommend this website to people who want to pursue an online teaching career. I’ve made so many new friends from around the world and I really have so much fun teaching here.

You can decide your hours and students will take the slots they want. You have to accept or refuse. They will be the one rating you and commentating but amazing talker also place you among other teachers regarding how many student you have, how many hours they buy and how much you work. Also, if you refuse, this have an impact. You can decide your price but can’t increase them the way you want if you want to be visible. Also, the site takes a lot of fees.  There is no fixed salary, you can have a lot of nothing from a month to another according to your own work. 
It is quite easy to contact the help desk and they usually answer in a day. 

You have to be on the ball and answer your matches right away day or night and even then you may not get a response from the student.  The mentors honestly the ones I tried are not really helpful they just want to earn the passive income off of you but don't want to help you grow.  I would say there seems to be too many teachers and not enough students.......I wish there was a way to market your own students but you cannot see anyone till they are matched with you and you have to answer within 3 minutes to even have a chance.  Even if you answer in that 3 minutes reply rate from the students is less than 5% because the student is matched with multiple teachers at a time and you are all competing for that one student.  It is hard.

If you're thinking about to grow and success one of your goals at work, this will be the best place. But YES, this also means that you have to put extra effort in your work, and go all-in.
To be honest, the people and working environment are awesome. Job can be hard and sometimes frustrated, but people here are supportive and this motivates me more to move further :)  

The best thing about working with Amazing Talker is that it is incredibly flexible. You choose the hours you want to teach and students only can book within that time period. Pay is not great though and you cannot set on higher amount until you teach a certain number of lessons. Also if you don't plan on teaching full-time just a couple hours per week, the website fees are quite high.

I enjoyed the aspect of working remotely, however the online management was very poor and the pay system was an online/withdrawal system which unfortunately came with many requirements, such as a minimum withdrawal. I also found it hard to find other students. 

I've learned how to manage my time well when working in AmazingTalker since there's no tight regulation on how or when you work. You're your own boss. Also, you will be paid for what you've done. 
But I have to say, this is a quite fast-paced working environment, and you have to improve yourself every single day to make sure you keep pace with it.
