Hello everyone I have an interview with Lingora 2 am my time. How is it working with them? I would love an extra stream of income this summer but the pay has to be weekly or bi weekly. I need something fast. I currently am on Native camp and pressing through with 4.99 rating really confined to their super peak hours.
I’m a proud Native Camp tutor and honestly still prefer NC over a lot of other platforms despite the lower pay. I’m a full-time 3rd and 4th grade teacher during the school year, so after teaching academics and managing little kids all day, Native Camp feels like a nervous system reset for me lol. I genuinely enjoy just logging on, talking to students, and doing lower-stress work from home.
Now that it’s summer, I’m using NC heavily for bills again like I usually do every year. But a few weeks ago, a student randomly rated me a 4 for reasons I still don’t understand, and it dropped my long-standing 5.00 rating down to 4.99. 😭
Ever since then, I feel like my traffic outside of peak hours has completely slowed down. Before, I could still pull students around 10–11 AM EST pretty consistently, but now it gets SUPER quiet unless it’s peak traffic time.
What’s confusing me is that I still see tutors with ratings lower than 4.99 getting students during off-peak hours. Many of them appear to be non-native speakers, while I’m a native tutor, so now I’m wondering if Native Camp’s system pushes different tutor categories differently or if I’m just overthinking this whole thing.
Has anyone else experienced this after dropping from a perfect 5? Did your traffic eventually bounce back once your rating recovered? Or is summer traffic just weird right now?
I guess for now I’ll stick to peak hours and grind my way back to 5.00 lol.
