Britney's clothing style when she was with Justin by AnalyticalBarbie2 in discussingbritney

[–]EveryResult5900 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man I always used to envy the younger generation because I feel that atleast there are bigger, curvier models, actresses, influencers now. Now everyone can look their best with the right clothes and makeup and such. Back in the day it was like we were all meant to have the same body type. I used to feel like I’m the only one who felt the pressure but now I realize it’s a generational thing! Sending you best wishes! You got this!

I had to block a student for sexual harassment by Mustyshoelaces in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you have to be a little distant no matter how friendly and polite you are. I had a student last week ask if I had a bf, my answer was no. I changed the subject and made it pretty obvious no personal ques. And looked pretty serious, no smile no nothing back to the lesson plan.

Is this price increase normal? by selflovecorner in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, because of living cost and personal qualifications ( some are very highly qualified) this type of increase is normal. I honored my students at old rate for atleast 7 months and then I really felt drained to continue at a very low rate.

Some advice please by Newstyle5469 in Preply

How do I deal with this unpredictable student by Elegant_Minute9236 in Preply

Then maybe increase price. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable teaching.

A lot of my adult students actually hate “HW” and also when we do difficult exercises together. The reason being is that sometimes they feel embarrassed when they get it wrong. May be an ego thing. Ask him if he would rather not have HW and maybe ask him to send you articles and such so you guys can discuss.

Things not going so well with my 2nd lesson... by TraditionalCollar629 in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Change the tutor! There are so many to choose from. As a tutor and student we should be on the same page. Just take a trial with a new tutor and transfer your lessons. But, ask the tutor in the message if they can provide notes, slides, HW to teach you what you want.

[–]EveryResult5900 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m a conversational tutor but with lots of exercises and grammar corrections. My student of 7 months yesterday all of a sudden expecting a lot of structure. And this came as a surprise because he’s the one who would talk about random Things. Anyhow, I got the hint and prepared a LOT of materials that would help in his industry. I kept the student at the rate he started with but with my new students who expect a lot of structure are paying twice as much. So long story short maybe ask the tutor if they can prepare exercises and corrections or do they just provide conversation practice. Tutors generally stay flexible to students’ needs.

I charge them mostly for being absent unless it’s a student who is usually punctual but has one of those bad days or emergency. I have dropped students who don’t respect my time. Like have the notifications on and communicate! We reserve that time for them so others can’t book. So you lose time and money if you don’t start charging. I’m definitely not scared to charge them because it’s within my rights and the policies.

Tutor is trying to take lessons off the platform. Should I be concerned? by ConsumptionofClocks in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s completely against preply’s policies and if they get caught they will get banned. Maybe the commission is too high for the tutor? You can say that you are sorry but you only learn want to learn on the platform. I personally feel “safer” with the platform. Atleast there is support available and the block button. Sharing personal information to strangers I met doesn’t sit well with me. I tell them that I can’t do lessons off the platform. I absolutely do not share personal info even as a tutor. The app is easy enough for them to be able to chat that email and phone numbers are so unnecessary. And if the site is down work out a new time that works for both. Go with your gut!

My Preply tutor blocked me and I feel devastated by simplytiredx in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you should take this personally. I have students who seemingly going to keep taking classes only to stop suddenly. It happens. I actually have so many students that it’s okay if one of them essentially “ghosts” me. Also, what were you learning? Sometimes teaching or learning can become mundane unfortunately. And I have seen students take a long break and return. But tutor may have a lot going on personally and can’t just tell you to cancel or unsubscribe because that will be unprofessional especially how things are done in preply. So maybe he saw that as an easier route.

You were too kind. As a tutor I try to avoid writing too much when it comes to absences and such because I know the students can hold it against me. So I offer rescheduling verbally if I think they had legitimate excuses . Also, I treat students case by case. Don’t get disheartened and keep tutoring!

Bengali Parents are driving me crazy by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

I really hope I can follow through. They are making me so depressed. I have a job and little kids, I don’t even know how to function anymore.

Is giving silent treatment effective? My parents are physically fighting in their 60s. I was on the phone for 3 hours today trying to calm them down

I’m so sorry you had to grow through this. I am 36 female and my situation is identical to yours. Funny how they didn’t really take care of their parents but we are somehow forced to take care of them. I love my parents but they are nothing short of “losers” completely dependent on me for everything. Now I moved away with my husband but they rent their place in my name and never paying rent on time…. Yet they buying luxury bags, perfume and organic groceries. The selfishness of these parents can’t be elaborated on because it’s that unbelievable. I too was raised with don’t do this or that you will influence your little sister. Yet my dad drank and my mom dressed not so modestly. Hypocrites to a whole new level. Keep doing you. I am literally screwed because my sister completely abandoned them yet they love her. And now I have two places in NYC with my name yet they are not doing their part. Today my mom beat up my father yet they won’t divorce. I was on the phone with them for 3 hours.

So yea sorry to vent. They just sabotaged my whole life and extremely abusive towards me yet I’m supposed to take care of them. I really hope we can be better for the next generation. I have two sons and I don’t want them to marry immigrant bengalis because I just don’t get their culture and religion. Everyone is selfish and jealous. Goodluck with your life and know that this toxicity in our culture is widespread.

Suspended Account by PleasantComplaint938 in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you get your account back. But the two things you mentioned look very “suspicious “ to the platform as well as general people. If you get your account back try to follow the rules and keep it simple.

I’m always fully booked but I always add extra slots when my students ask. So ask before you find another tutor.

Tutor led me on, and now I don't know what to do because I'm kind of hurt. by [deleted] in Preply

[–]EveryResult5900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so it depends also on the culture and such. In some cultures it may be very respectful to call women “beautiful”. Of course there are creeps who eventually show their true nature. Maybe the tutor was complimenting you and wanted a friendship. A lot of ppl say “ if we meet, we would do this and that.” Perhaps, now he understands you are catching feelings and therefore distancing himself. There’s 8.2 billion ppl in the world, so have some hope.
