Beware of applying to Tiger Campus
My Experience with Tiger Campus — Please Read Before Applying I had read many negative reviews about Tiger Campus before I started working with them. However, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt because I felt it would be unfair to judge a company solely based on other people's experiences. I started working as a tutor with Tiger Campus in July 2026. Unfortunately, my own experience has now raised serious concerns about their salary payment and communication. Tiger Campus pays tutors on the 15th of each month. After completing a month's work, there is also a payment cycle delay before the salary is received. I received my first salary on August 18, 2026, which was three days late. I had to send numerous emails to follow up before receiving the payment. My second salary was supposed to be paid on September 15, 2026. I eventually received it on September 16, but only 50% of the amount I was expecting was paid. I am still waiting for the remaining 50% to be paid. What concerns me even more is that I have already earned this money through work I have completed. If I decide to stop working with Tiger Campus, I am worried that I may have difficulty receiving the remaining amount from August as well as payment for most of my September work. Another major concern has been communication. In my experience, emails and messages are often not answered promptly. Sometimes I have waited many hours, and in some cases until the following day, for a response—particularly when the issue involves payment. I understand that payment delays can sometimes happen, and I initially tried to be patient and understanding. However, when you depend on your salary and have to repeatedly follow up just to receive money you have already earned, it creates a great deal of stress and uncertainty. Yes, Tiger Campus may offer a higher hourly rate compared with some other tutoring companies. However, in my personal experience, a higher hourly rate does not make up for the stress and uncertainty surrounding payment and communication. Therefore, if you are considering working for Tiger Campus, I strongly recommend that you carefully research the company's payment practices and read reviews from current and former tutors before making your decision. This is based on my personal experience from July to September 2026, and I am sharing it so that other tutors can make an informed decision before committing their time and work.
