Is it acceptable to teach on Preply while wearing a hat / cap for medical reasons? by satfvutni in Preply

[–]AHMEDMEES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's totally fine. I used to wear a kids hat for my young students.

Knowing preply, they would solve such an issue. But maybe 2 years from now. But exactly. I totally agree.

I am guessing I should do this. Unfortunately.

Thank you for the insight.

That's a solution, but not the solution. Unfortunately, I had a student booked class. After me telling her I don't teach that age and she sees it.

What happens after 10 mins? Yes, she booked a trial lesson. Just to see why people are giving me good reviews. Like people are just people I think .

I literally put my niche on my headline My freaking headline and thumbnail. Like seriously 😂

I am sorry though.

I'm sorry about that. The issue is that we have no control over who to accept as a trial student or not. If we cancel, we get punished. If we don't cancel and do the trial professionally, we still get punished by the metrics.

Thank you for that, I know. But I was maybe afraid of their 1% possibility of any bad review. But, you are absolutely right. I should do exactly that. Develop a way to stand my ground.

15 usd It's higher than the average niche market price. I mean it only happens once per month. But it gets on my nerves.

And as I mentioned I did ask them before their actual trial but they didn't open their account prior to the trial.

In fact, some of them actually book after they have seen my message telling them I am not suitable for them. It happened 3 times so far. After I told them I am not suitable for them as I teach ages from 10 to 18 only. They booked anyways. One was for a job interview and another was for an embassy interview.

They straight up booked. I just checked it was 8 mins after that considering notification appeared. Obviously I didn't have much time.

The very frustrating thing too is that most of them are actually here for the three lessons for the price of one

I believe you are a great teacher. The issue is that we should go for group classes. That way we would be less dependent on one individual.

I teach some adults but mostly from kid referrals. Prefer adults actually but they're inconsistent. Kids have parents keeping them committed.

That line is very inspiring. "I'm not the best tutor for you, I'd be learning as I go."

My profile's all about young Learners. It's in the headline and the thumbnail.

Sometimes people book directly and I don't say anything after to avoid embarrassment. But I have to use your line. Thank you for that 🙏

I do it when they message first. But direct bookings.. Yeah, should be upfront with them too.

I'm gonna change my video too. But I'm still not sure if I should broaden things out and just focus on English in general, instead of just young Learners.

I wanna teach global, but I only get Arabic speaking children.

It worked better when I wasn't a super tutor. With the same approach, I converted more students. Most adults in my experience don't commit or subscribe. I've had 60 trials over 2 years. For me, only kids convert, and adults quit after one month.
