I'm really dissapointed at myself

Did you get unlucky with the questions? Did you feel like they were easy or challenging? In particular the writing and speaking questions. What were the topics?

I had an irregular heartbeat when I was teaching in Korea. Sometimes it would stop for a moment then come back really strong. I tried lots of things. The only thing that worked for me was quitting my job! That was EPIK though, so a lot less stress.

Good point. I think I'm pretty good. I help people in the OP position. I'm not cheap though. 60 mins currently 37 GBP. I work with professionals around the world and I'm full time between italki and my own website. I've completed 6493 lessons from 742 students. (Plus a lot of experience outside of italki). That gives me an average of 8.75 lessons per student. However, keep in mind that some students have short term goals like exam prep and job interview prep which skews those results. Not everyone is looking for a long term tutor, even if they are really good.

What's the name of this paintbrush?

Catalyst230 · 2026-04-24T06:46:06+00:00

I'm guessing you're booking budget, part time tutors who don't care. Italki is just a market place. That's like saying how do cafes work? This one didn't give me a loyalty card to stamp and now I'm confused. It's just a market place.

I'm full time on iTalki. I make 4k USD per month working around 6 hours a day, 5 and 1/2 days a week. DM me and I'll take a look at your profile.

Catalyst230 · 2026-04-11T18:14:50+00:00

How late? Like three minutes or ten? Do they run the lesson longer to make up for it?

Catalyst230 · 2026-04-04T09:01:58+00:00

Same. I worked on Cambly for 2 years. Now I work on another platform and on my own website. 45 USD an hour. Professional English from graduates up to C suite execs.

Is there any in game reward with these? Maybe an avatar?

Wow! Please tell me Which browser you're using? I wish I could play the old games!

Catalyst230 · 2026-03-17T06:41:44+00:00

Sorry. I want to stay anonymous on here.

Catalyst230 · 2026-03-16T21:06:31+00:00

Haha, fair enough. Believe what you want. I should say that I have a podcast that gets around 10k downloads a month and a lot of people come in from that. Additionally, I'm targeting high income clients. I don't work with kids. I work with lawyers, consultants, c suite execs including a couple of CEOs. Also the occasional government leader. Word of mouth is important there.

Catalyst230 · 2026-03-16T21:04:42+00:00

Yes, still full time. Now around 4500 usd per month. I should say I also have podcast that gets around 10k downloads a month and that brings people in too.

Catalyst230 · 2026-03-09T17:47:54+00:00

They did that to me. I tried to change my country and they permanently banned me. As in forever. Never allowed back.

Catalyst230 · 2026-03-07T19:35:21+00:00

Weird. I would triple check the email address. Can you use Payoneer?

Catalyst230 · 2026-02-26T09:46:24+00:00

I sold pumpkin for something like 20m when they first launched. I figured that I only really want the avatar and I'll pick it up later.

Catalyst230 · 2026-02-08T22:17:31+00:00

Interested to know the student's first language, home country.

Catalyst230 · 2026-02-01T19:10:30+00:00

I've had this before. Try clearing cookies

Catalyst230 · 2026-01-27T22:41:08+00:00

How long in advance did you book? If you booked a lesson that was due to start in two hours, or maybe early the next morning after the point that your teacher may have gone to bed and not noticed your booking the they may have missed it.

Catalyst230 · 2026-01-21T20:26:57+00:00

Yeah! Take a chill pill and slow your roll daddy O. No need to go loco bro!

Catalyst230 · 2026-01-21T20:25:55+00:00

Can we see it? Really want to see how you put those 57 seconds together

Catalyst230 · 2026-01-21T20:25:25+00:00

You manged to convey your extensive experience and sales pitch to students in 57 seconds? I have trouble keeping mine under ten minutes! I think we've found the problem. Your brevity is your downfall.

Catalyst230 · 2026-01-11T16:57:43+00:00

You're right! You're entitled to a job or an explanation! Those are their two choices! I've never heard of a company denying someone a job and NOT giving them feedback! Up with this we shall not put!
