When a lesson is cancelled, a substitute teacher is allocated to that student. The company charges the teacher that cancelled the lesson 600 yen and then obtains another payment (in the form of commission) from the substitute teacher. The only person that is scammed in this cycle is the teacher cancelling the lesson (or getting his/her lesson cancelled).

Eigox gets paid TWICE and the substitute teacher is paid once for the actual lesson. NOTE: the substitute teacher is not paid above their hourly rate, the rate of pay is exactly the same as if the lesson was originally allocated to them. The most hilarious thing is the fact that they even want teachers to provide doctors' notes for a missed class. Isn't this meant to be an independent contractor's position? Teachers are not provided with a guaranteed number of hours per month so why would they behave as your employer? If this is not a scam, what is?... This is a reminder as to why EIGOX is the worst online platform for teachers.
