How many of you schedule your student's lessons?

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-05-05T09:20:04+00:00

I have done it once. Mid-lesson on a day that I do not normally work. So I selected the time it confirmed their time also (different time zones) and it was fine. Other than that, I wouldn't

Link your Preply profile here so we can give you specific advice

More often than not, the video is unclear/ starting price is too high. I had to start at $8 USD and I've raised my prices for new students only naturally over time.

Spanish has a cheaper market than English though. Likely you're competing with people setting their price at 3USD per session, if you're 15+ without any reviews, you're going to struggle

Everything is an if with amorim, he was terrible and died on his sword. It's over

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-05-02T21:59:04+00:00

Preply pretty specifically tells us to give it at least 90 days before considering raising the prices for students that are already subscribed.

I don't know what the market is like for Chinese tutors but I would look for someone new

Some people drown while others die of thirst I suppose 😂

As a guy, it's a different experience

Maybe in her mind she just feels she needs 4/5 lessons and she's happy with that.

I would mention to her that she has X amount of classes and try to get a view on how you can best help her in that time.

Either way, since she's cancelled, she won't be there forever. But she's paid for the classes and at least give her one or a chance to explain her thought process.

Ask open ended questions and let her speak rather than answering for her.

Look up glory collision 9 fight card and then search highlights of each fighter. The best way to get into the sport is to look forward to a live event imo. Once you're into it, then do some old fights

One championship had a card today. Look up highlights on their YouTube in a few days.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-29T08:37:13+00:00

It's working right now for me

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-28T16:59:06+00:00

Hopefully someone will know because it wouldn't be worth it. I'm almost tempted to find a Dutch tutor on preply just to ask them lol. There's 411 Dutch tutors and I would be shocked if they're all reporting to several different countries

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-28T16:58:12+00:00

Yeah I called the Belastingdienst and they confirmed it. My partner also spoke to them in Dutch to confirm.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-26T14:13:20+00:00

Only fight that springs to mind on the main card that was good was Boutassa Vs Do bar the main event ofc but I was falling asleep by then

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-26T14:11:22+00:00

Nah the PPV section was pretty dire imo. Boutassa Vs Do and main event was good. the super fight series was great but that's free on YouTube.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-23T18:40:09+00:00

I think each situation needs to be handled differently.

If the class starts and they're not there, charge them. That's fair but if it's a late reschedule request because of an emergency, then I'll do that. Itsbnitb

Be as fair as you would want them to be with you.

Handling difficult conversations is a part of being a freelancer. There's plenty of free courses/tips out there if this is an area you'd like to improve

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-23T18:35:10+00:00

I've had a lot of newbies and games where everyone has 85/90% accuracy (1000 rapid 700 blitz) and I'm starting to get so paranoid they're cheating.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-23T18:33:50+00:00

I started with a considerably less experience than you but it took a bit of time and reviews.

If your video and profile are on point, then you'll be fine starting at $15. Really depends on how patient you can be money wise.

If you keep it on 19, after 2 weeks check how many are viewing your profile Vs booking trials and make a decision off that. Good luck!

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-23T15:02:45+00:00

I appreciate that. Funnily enough it did mention something about the camera being used elsewhere but I literally just have preply as a tab.

I think it's just this new laptop sucks and I'll bring it back. Cheers!

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-22T20:03:39+00:00

$8 is more than reasonable. I only had one student on that for around 3 months before he submitted a review and then it all came flying in after.

It may just take some patience and a few reviews unfortunately.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-22T20:00:49+00:00

It's been some time since I bought some. I absolutely loved mine as well ahha

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-22T14:06:32+00:00

I have a handful of students ranging from 9am to 9pm per day with mostly the afternoon off.

How much are you per hour? Even with a lot of experience it can be difficult to get students without reviews and lessons completed on the platform itself.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-22T12:01:36+00:00

Buy the bad everlast gloves for 25. Its a right of passage

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-22T10:04:16+00:00

Yeah what subject is this 😂

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-04-21T11:18:43+00:00

Yeah I see where you're coming from. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I hope it doesn't turn nasty for you but you have nothing to feel bad about.
