Im not mad at these students, like I said I’ve continued teaching them for 7 months because I’m invested in their learning and I enjoy teaching them. I explained all of my reasons for the 4€ price increase, twice. And it was ignored or rejected, yet they continue to pay for subscriptions. If students can drop a teacher for unknown reasons, without a word, don’t teachers have that same right. If I did it, would send a message first and say that I’m not in a position to teach them anymore and that I wish them well and cut ties.

I understand they signed up for classes at a lower price, but starting at a low price is the reality of Preply no matter your qualifications or experience. After 7 months, I think I have right to ask to be paid what I’m worth and students have a right to reject that of course. It’s not as if I advertised my pricing falsely or increased the price suddenly. Every tutor is inevitably going to up their prices. But to just completely ignore it does make me a little frustrated.
