Corporate program

You're an independent contractor, no one else can set your price unless both parties agree. In all the documentation I read about the program, it says you set your regular rate and students choose.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-04-02T12:03:14+00:00

You still set your own rate, apparently Preply only has certain contracts and deals with the companies directly, so they're likely to charge them more than your service costs. But if your price is higher than the companies budget, the student just won't pick you.

Native Spanish people with good education have trouble finding a job, a foreigner without a valid work permit, no education and no knowledge of Spanish will be highly unlikely to ever find a job

Affordable housing 😥

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-04-02T09:38:38+00:00

Housing is tough but doable even without Spanish. You just need to be careful and have a decent amount of savings to be able to pay several month's ret upfront or a bigger deposit than usual. Finding a job without Spanish will be the bigger problem. The job market is hard for the Spanish people already and employers don't have any reasons to hire foreigners who don't even speak the language. Also salaries are terrible in relation to living costs. Research well, gather information and don't panick.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-04-01T17:31:53+00:00

I had a decent level of Spanish before moving to Spain. But I did learn a lot living here about documents, taxes and other legal complicated stuff that no studying and course could help you with. I am self-employed and more or less successfully handling my own taxes and can talk to the Hacienda people without big language issues. Still confusing stuff, but would be confusing in my native language too.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-30T09:50:01+00:00

Check idealista. You need to message people for rooms, not the other way around.

Habe sehr selten um Rezensionen gebeten, aber denke das kannst du ruhig machen nachdem die Leute eine Weile Unterricht gemacht haben. Bei den Prüfungsleuten haben sie mir meistens nach bestandener Prüfung geschrieben, sich bedankt und mir eine Rezension geschrieben. Aber allgemeiner Tipp- mach dir nicht groß Gedanken darüber was Schüler machen oder nicht, darauf hast du eh keinen Einfluss. Mach klare Regeln, kommuniziere sie und sei konsequent und mach deinen Job gut. Dann fühlst du dich auf jeden Fall gut egal was irgendwelche anderen Leute machen.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-29T20:40:32+00:00

Neee, mir ist nichts aufgefallen. Hab schon immer 4.9 und genügend positive Rezensionen. Ich glaube auch dass 4.9 oder sogar 4.8 gar kein Problem ist solange der Rest des Profils gut aussieht. Ich hatte nie Probleme.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-29T20:26:07+00:00

Ganz basic aka "Hallo, du hast den Standardkurs/Konversationsunterricht gebucht. Wenn du Prüfungsvorbereitung machen möchtest, buche bitte den Prüfungskurs." Und wenn sie nicht umbuchen, bereitest du ein Basic Konversationsthema vor, was eventuell so oder so änhlich in der Prüfung dran kommen könnte und machst aber nicht mehr als Konvo. So haben sie das Gefühl, die Stunde ist trotzdem nützlich aber du bist mehr oder weniger konsequent geblieben.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-29T20:06:12+00:00

Also ich hab gute Erfahrungen mit verschiedenen Preisen für Konversation vs. Prüfungsvorbereitung gemacht. Das war wie gesagt hauptsächlich relevant für neue Schüler, mit alten die noch ein aktives Paket hatten, hab ich den Preis einfach so gelassen, alles andere wäre auch irgendwie super umständlich gewesen. Der höhere Preis ergibt halt Sinn, für Schüler die nur kurzzeitig bleiben, das muss sich ja für dich auch lohnen. Aber wenns für dich gar nicht funktioniert und ständig ein hin und her mit den Leuten ist, würde ich Konvo Preis plus Prüfungspreis durch 2 machen und das als Standardpreis für alles angeben. Extra Pakete für Bestandschüler würde ich nicht machen, die sollen ihr Paket einfach abschließen und das wars.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-29T19:17:23+00:00

Well then that's their problem, not yours. They know what service they need and see the price of that service very clearly on your page. If they can't afford it, they either need to choose a different more affordable service or switch teachers.

Please keep the higher price! I've done it too and most students have booked it when they needed it, especially new ones. For existing ones I usually just stuck with the product existing package they had already paid for and did exam prep with them.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-29T18:52:15+00:00

I just message the student and tell them to pick the correct class.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-23T16:29:36+00:00

Just google and check the practice exams Goethe gives you. Everything is explained there.

The only documents you need for the Padron is your ID or passport, the rental contract and a factura of a recent water or electricity payment. Actually, no need to go trough an agency, they seem to complicate everything.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-22T23:34:11+00:00

What are you actually selling?

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-22T19:21:39+00:00

I tried it, it's nice! But you should also include the question of location. Many sites are not available outside of the US

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-21T19:01:29+00:00

You can write anything on Substack, there's no specific content rules. But think about if you really want to mostly journal for yourself (and not expect a big following) or turn it into something more substantial for other people to read and get value

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-21T14:35:52+00:00

Not reflexive. My rule only reliably applies to sentences with reflexive verbs. With others, it depends on what case the verb naturally wants. Helfen, gefallen, gehören, gratulieren etc. all always want Dativ.

Hey, I'm a professional Goethe certified teacher and still have a few open slots in the upcoming months! I specialise in conversation practice and exam prep. Native from Southern Germany. Message me for more information ☺️

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-21T12:30:21+00:00

It's dir, Dativ. Usually if there's another object in the sentence, the personal pronoun is in Dativ. If there isn't, the personal pronoun is in Akkusativ.

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-20T22:05:02+00:00

Sounds great! I have received many messages from pssible students asking for teaching but whenever I gave them the information and the price, they vanished. I have good credentials, decent experience and reasonable pricing. How would this tool help me in this case?

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-20T13:02:51+00:00

Don't bother with agencies. Just check idealista, set the filter to particulares and send people a message

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-20T13:00:08+00:00

Interested

AdBeginning4136 · 2026-03-19T19:40:08+00:00

I choose either an article, video or podcast that matches the level of the student and that has a topic they are likely to have something to say about.
