My working experience with Lingoda

Pros

-Clear and swift communication during hiring process -Fantastic guidance during training phase, questions were appreciated and answered in-depthly and with a lot of patience and effort -When starting at Lingoda, I was told that the company values the skills gained in previous employments. This couldn't be more true and I am more than happy to also get to work in translation on top of my tasks in the student support team. My previous employments had a translation/writing focus and I am more than satisfied to get to put these skills to use at Lingoda despite having applied thinking I would be doing student support only. This keeps me very motivated as I feel incredibly valued, and getting to contribute the most I can makes me feel good about myself, the work I do and the company. -Generally, I feel like Lingoda is a company that values constructive input. Conversation gets in-depth, also with supervisors, and it never feels like a bother if you have an extra question or voice something that is on your mind. This is really great, as communication is the key for a happy and healthy work life.

Cons

As cliché as it may sound, I have yet to experience something that strikes me as negative, so I will just say: Communication Communication can always be better, so making sure communication between supervisors and employees is even clearer and as straight forward as possible to avoid confusion and ensure that tasks are understood by everyone in the team. This way, the scenario that some team members know things very well whereas others struggle to understand and may make minor mistakes can be avoided. Checking if everyone understood tasks can be tiring and there may not be always time, but it may help the bigger picture.

Pros

The lessons are well designed and easy to deliver to students, either via Skype or an e-learning platform for group classes. Each of the lessons have clear aims and offers students the chance to practise speaking, listening, reading and writing all in one lesson. The staff at Lingoda have always been supportive towards me, they respond quickly if you have problems and are efficient in the way they operate. In my opinion this is a great ESL company to work for and will only grow and grow over the next few years.

Cons

The base rate of pay is quite low compared to other ESL companies that offer a bonus scheme, which Lingoda does not. However, I've seen worse out there. They are also still testing different group class platforms to find a more reliable one.

Pros

Lingoda is a great company to work for. The company cares about its employees and responds to emails quickly. Lingoda also makes a continuous effort to improve its services by requesting both teacher and student feedback. When I have had to cancel classes due to illness, the company is very understanding.

Cons

It may be good to review learning material more often as I notice quite a few mistakes quite frequently.
