lingioFor Goethe, ÖSD, or telc holders at B1 or above
Teach German online while Lingio handles the class administration.
Make the most of your teaching expertise and experience as you guide learners and provide in-depth feedback. Lingio brings together a virtual classroom, automatic material management, and transparent payment calculations.
- The session room opens with your tile and the moderator controls.
- Amara and Dimas join the room, ready for the lesson.
- Their attendance is recorded when they enter. The host is not marked as a learner.
- You use the moderator controls and start teaching.
You lead the learning. Lingio keeps the class organised.
Outside live sessions, your attention should stay on preparing high-quality materials and assessing work. Managing attendance, organising teaching files, and handling other administration should not take up your valuable time.
Lingio brings every teaching need together in one place: class schedules, automatic attendance, learners' task queue, and transparent payment records, without switching between applications.
Instructor Responsibilities
- Plan and prepare teaching materials for the class level.
- Lead interactive live learning sessions according to the schedule.
- Explain the German and answer learners' questions.
- Give constructive corrections and feedback on assignments.
- Use your own teaching materials and methods freely.
Lingio System Support
- A live classroom and schedule for every session.
- Participant-list management and automatic attendance records.
- A place for teaching materials, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums.
- An organised assignment-marking queue in submission order.
- Transparent payment agreements, earnings details, and bank-transfer records.
Structured Class Scheduling, Flexible from Anywhere
When you open a new class, you control its level (A1–B2), teaching language, number of sessions, learner capacity, and main timezone. Learners in different regions see the schedule converted automatically to their local time.
Every session includes an interactive video room, where you join as moderator. Attendance is recorded automatically when learners join, and you can still adjust a learner's status to Present, Excused, or Absent when needed.
- Automatic timezone conversion: the class schedule is accurately converted for every learner.
- A flexible check-in window for learners (15 minutes before until 15 minutes after each session).
- A secure attendance audit trail stored under the instructor account.
- Support for substitute instructors without disrupting the class history or records.
- Platform flexibility: use Lingio's integrated video room or a Zoom/Google Meet link.
Use Your Own Teaching Materials or Lingio's Integrated Modules
You can combine your own teaching materials with Lingio's structured curriculum modules. Each lesson module can include supporting reading and written assignments.
All learner submissions are kept in a priority marking queue, first in, first out. You can review assignment drafts, mark them as passed, or return them with detailed revision notes.
Multi-format Support: PDFs, Audio, Images, and Video Links
Upload teaching files up to 2 GB or insert a YouTube video link. Share files across the full class series or reserve them for a specific session.
- The upload dialog opens with audio selected and the title empty.
- You add a German title and choose the file from your computer.
- The progress bar shows the file uploading.
- The file appears in the classroom's Resources tab.
Create Independent Assessment Quizzes or Activate Interactive Live Quiz Sessions
Create single-choice, multiple-choice, and typed-answer questions. Link a quiz to a lesson module, chapter, or specific class session so it stays relevant to the topic.
Interactive Quiz Creation
Write the question and answer key, then choose an assessment mode: Standard (Independent Practice) or Realtime (Live Class). Realtime lets learners answer together within a timed allocation.
- A new quiz form, empty, with its delivery mode still set to Standard.
- The German title is typed in, and the mode is switched to Realtime (live).
- A warning says a live room needs a classroom, so the quiz is attached to one and the warning goes.
- The quiz is created and the page becomes its question list, where one multiple-choice question is written and its answer marked.
Interactive Live Class Quiz Session
Learners join with a unique code, mark themselves ready, and answer together. As the instructor, you set the time for each question (5–300 seconds); faster correct answers earn more points.
- The host console opens on a lobby: a join code, an empty roster, and nobody ready yet.
- Amara, Dimas and Rafi arrive one at a time, and each taps ready a moment after joining.
- At three of three the start button changes to say everyone is ready.
- You start it, and the room moves to the first question with its own countdown.
Transparent Contract Terms and Clear Payment Calculations
Before class registration opens to the public, Lingio presents a written agreement. It sets out the payment model, the payment amount, and the learner target. You can review, accept, or decline the offer without pressure.
Lingio offers two payment models: Revenue Share or a Flat Fee per Session. Lingio handles learner billing and financial administration, so you do not need to manage collections.
- Your proportional earnings are calculated precisely from the sessions you lead.
- A 2-instalment payment schedule: Instalment I at the midpoint of the class and Instalment II after every session is complete.
- Transparent payment for substitute instructors: payment for substitute sessions is allocated fairly.
- Clear terms: the Flat Fee model is unaffected by discounts or refunds, while Revenue Share adjusts to learners' actual payments.
- Funds are paid by official bank transfer, with the transaction reference kept on record.
- The earnings page reports completed teaching and recorded payments. It does not publish an estimate based on a class filling.
Earnings Breakdown and Transfer History Dashboard
Each figure shows the sessions behind it, what has already been paid, and what remains. Once Lingio sends the transfer, the bank reference appears beside the payment record.
- The earnings page opens with its payment summary.
- At the middle of the class, it shows earnings based on six of twelve sessions taught.
- The halfway payment is recorded and marked as awaiting transfer.
- After payment, the bank transfer reference appears beside the record.
100% Free for Instructors: No Registration Fees or Per-session Deductions
Instructors pay no registration fee, monthly membership fee, or per-session deduction. Lingio also does not limit independent teaching outside the platform. Every verified instructor receives full access to the instructor portal at no cost.
Official Certificate-based Qualifications and a Commitment to Quality Teaching
You do not need to be a native speaker or hold a degree in education. Our main requirements are a validated German-proficiency certificate, clear command of a teaching language, and the time commitment to complete the class.
