Yes, that's why I gave the description the first time as I did. These studios are in Ukraine. Though, I know a few other studios who operate similar to how you described in other areas of Ukraine.
As I said, it's the manager/admin who is coaching them for a while until the new model is ready to be on her own. The idea is that the models are then self-sufficient to be on their own and not have to rely on others for interaction. Once the model is able to work on her own, without someone guiding her, the manager/admin will work with others or walk the area to make sure nothing's wrong.
The interesting part of all of this is that of the two managers I got to know, they both were previously models and had active accounts so if they were seen on screen it wasn't a violation. Once I got to know one of them pretty good, she'd come in and sit down next to the model when I'd be in the room. She wasn't fully on screen but could see part of her. On occasion she'd lean into the camera and joke around. Or, if she knew I was in a private with one of the models, she'd show up in the private and both would be there for the duration. She'd also send me pics via app. The other manager only showed her face a couple of times on screen, and most times I only saw a hand or part of the body. Though, she did do a couple of privates with me, as well as send pics via messenger apps. The first one is who left the industry, and I no longer have contact with her. The second is the one who I still keep in contact somewhat regularly.
Managers (Admins are always former or actual experienced models, I never seen a studio working otherwise. Through all may not have active accounts. or not in the same sites as models. Through I'm surprised that urkrainian studios mix operator and admins work. Now that you said I recalled that I actuallt never saw a studio from Ukraine during my work as an operatot - most of studios were from Kyrgizisthan. Kazakstan and Russian countryside.
Can I ask why YOU prefer to work as a studio model over working as an independent model?
I have three sets of reasons
The first is the social one. I started as an independent model. and I hated that job badly, and would have probably quit it if i didn't joined a studio. I felt myself horribly by staying indoor and streaming for half a day, without human contact (members don't count). While i work in the studio, we all have a voice and writting chat opened, with models, operators and admins, and chatting, commenting members (models usually stalk in each other rooms), and I can take a break at any moment, chatting in the kitchen with others models. and finally take a beer in the local pub with coworkers speaking about the job (which isn't exactly easy with other people). It helps during empty room blues, and usually models which had a good day tip those who had a bad one (mostly to push members to tip too, but that's still pleasant).
The second is the mentoring one. Having insight about former models that have been on the top of any site and that are willing to share their insight is quite precious to me. most of internet advices are geared toward big sites as MFC and Chaturbate, but it's easier for a new model to climb to the first lines of lower traffic sites. And Anyway there is a lot of knowledge that isn't really findable (like - how to manage a situation when you got into two simultaneous pvt and such). Studios also share all model notes about big users, so if i get one in my room I have a lot of information about his tastes, what he likes or dislikes etc. I didn't had big lamguages issues but i really appreciate the time while I worked with an experimented operator who taught me how to behave with members, how to avoid time consuming low tippers, PM fantasists etc. Now I'm more the one giving advices to the models in my studio, but I love that part too.
The third is financial, I don't plan a web model career, so anything i have to buy for it is a net loss for me. I could remade my flat, buy and install professional lighting, top notch camera, a huge wardrobe. a collection of sex toys, but i have no idea what to do with this when I'll stop this job. There I have it for free, and even more as a professional make up artist, hairdresser, gym and such.
So I guess it's a different mind set from independent model but it fits way more to me.
In the studios where you worked, how often were operators assigned one-to-one to a model, versus how often did one operator help multiple models at the same time?
Nope, I never saw an operator leading several models at the same time - as usual operator lead models work on 6-7 sites at the same time he would have no time do so. Usually an operator works with only one model overall. When he starts his work he change quite often as it's hard to find a good operator-model couple that's works (most operators as models are specialized into some sites, fetishes and such. and they have to fit each other).
Big studios have test models - models that receive a wage and that are working to train new operators.
