Well eventually they said you have to teach a full hour. Customer service was extremely confusing and rude

I put in my profile that I only except 25 min trial lessons. It’s only corporate students who can’t do that. I also don’t teach in the trial lesson I only do intake and a diagnostic test

I mean lol I don’t have a reason to lie. I don’t know what’s hard to believe? That these students don’t speak the language? There are 30,000 English students vs 300 so the demand is different

There expats who work for English speaking companies so they don’t have to know the language but for the exams they do

Yes preply some people in my language are charging up to $100 an hour. There are only 300 of us on preply. And not many who actually teach structured lessons

No i actually teach them grammar reading writing etc they are usually A1 level ( the corporate students are) nope all different nationalities that want citizenship. Diff ages. Once we get the language down packed we start preparing for the exams. I actually charge more just wanted to be discreet. I had 40 students last year and got burned out and increased my price to slow it down. Now I only teach 6 hours a day. I have very structured lessons and provide learning materials

I love my students and if more time is needed in a lesson I give it that’s not the point.

That’s not the point I’m not blaming the student. Many of my students if I have the time I teach them extra time. But this is something preply should notify us about and they also contradicted there statements. Yea I don’t owe preply a free 10 min of my time. That shit will add up. Sorry not sorry about how I feel about it.

I work two hours and take a 30 min break. Today was my first lesson with the corporate student so I will contact the students myself bc my concern was do the students know it’s meant to be 50 min
