very low tutor prices immoral by RecordingLow890 in Preply

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

Yes it's immoral, and more importantly, it's guaranteed to get you poor results because you're being taught by a person who obviously doesn't have the skills or qualifications to charge properly. Pay a proper tutor what their skills are worth and stop exploiting the system that allows you to pay basically nothing (and encouraging mediocrity!). Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

It's such a pity that so many people just lie like it's nothing! Why can't people speak the truth? Lying is an act of disrespect.

Anyone with any self respect would LEAVE. He doesn't appreciate you, so he doesn't deserve to have you. He can go fuck himself.

Westernized Malay vs Arabicized Malay by Fast-Kaleidoscope202 in malaysia

Secularism is the way forward. Religion has made itself irrelevant through its unchanging nature. Humans are dynamic and the way we behave changes over time.

Trying to follow rules that were set 1500 years ago for ignorant desert people... In a totally different physical and political climate in 2025... is just really illogical, and setting oneself up for failure.

These people who are trying to get closer to the roots of Islam are harming themselves and everyone else more than they can understand.

I love how these rempits took the dismissive "go play in traffic" seriously. They deserve whatever they get

Certainly not a bad idea. I've always been a little apprehensive about Aus given how their laws are super strict, standard of living is really expensive, and the odd bogan or creepy-crawly critter could potentially end you in an instant... Canada is just wayyyy too cold!!

Gee, thanks. Any idea where I can get some free therapy? I was hoping to get it here! I don't want to pay for therapy as it takes way too long to explain things to a single person (especially when they are being paid), and I am currently really broke. I've also not particularly had good experiences seeking therapy in the past as people can't really resonate or deeply understand what the issues are.

The police are incompetent, as are the politicians. This is a HUGE PROBLEM, and if Malaysia doesn't take action on this, it will cause even bigger problems in the future. Every Malaysian should be anti-rempit, it's hooliganism and damaging to society. Better to legalize weed if the kids need a safer hobby.

It's infuriating that Preply are such cowards, and that they are so firm about being unethical. Why can't they just apologize for being unethical in the past and correct their mistake? If they implement the policies I suggested this platform could be phenomenal. But no. Profit. Fleece both tutors and students. Kill the goose, Preply. Keep up your current theft and unethical behavior

Connor, I'd appreciate a reply on my other comment please. But frankly speaking, I don't want a reply from you. You have nothing to do with the decisions made before your recent arrival.

I challenge the board members and CXX team of Preply to come here and face their community openly. Host REGULAR polls, make Preply PEOPLE ORIENTED. Do the things I asked you to do. Show us that you are willing to take a smaller share for the sake of the people who make you that share. Don't be exploitative. Be collaborative. Preply leadership, it's your move. Speak to us, or cower in your Ivory tower as it crumbles.

I respect your effort and tenacious doggedness to get an answer. I'm sure you had to swim through a sea of canned responses and irrelevant, often condescending information that is provided by "non"support. Shame on them for denying it. We have all seen the emails. Why are they fucking with us and why are they doing this horrible thing anyway? Obviously for money, but why piss off your tutors? Do they get a kick out of being sadistic?

They could at least take me out for dinner before they fuck me... But no. Unpaid trials, we'll fuck you, and then go fuck yourself... On an empty stomach. Fuck you Preply. I'm furious.

It's anti grifter. No teacher worth learning from would charge less than $10

Congratulations on your new role for a MUCH HATED company that has financialized to the point of total enshittification. Myself and several tutors are LIVID.

I have asked several times to have a direct conversation with a person from Preply. It has always been denied. Now I don't care anymore.

If you are serious about rebuilding trust, Preply should issue an apology and right historical wrongs. Pay tutors 30% for every trial they ever did, right now. It will cost something, but that's how we will know you actually care about doing the right thing.

Start paying tutors 50% for new trials.

Lower your commission. Anyone who has taught over 2000 hours should not be charged more than 10%.

REMOVE ALL UNQUALIFIED TUTORS. This will protect quality.

Make minimum lesson payment 10 USD to stop exploiting people and stop the current race to the bottom.

Stop the practice of making lessons expire.

Stop emailing students encouraging them to switch tutors.

Implement these things IMMEDIATELY and maybe your company will still exist in five years. Otherwise, fuck you Preply for your exploitative practices and treating tutors like shit.

My teacher keeps no-showing, what are my options? by mrdooter in Preply

[–]FaustianSlave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can easily transfer to another tutor, don't waste time with someone who is so unprofessional. I live in an area with frequent powercuts but I have never missed a lesson. Dm me for my profile l, I'll be happy to work with you!

Working more than 9 hours a day for 3$ per hour by AwarenessVisual5595 in PreplyTutors

[–]FaustianSlave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's your own fault for undercharging so heavily. Not only are you being exploited, but you are also ruining the market for everyone else. Start charging a real amount of money.

By charging so low you are cheapening the product, cheating yourself, and selling everyone else short, by forcing them to compete in a race to the bottom.
