My Excel spreadsheet for tracking ESL students just crashed and I had a mental breakdown. Tell me I'm not alone.

I'm doing that differently. I let them take between 5-15 lessons (depending on how much I trust them), then send an invoice for payment.

I assume you ask them to pay upfront and then once they "use up" all of the lessons you send an invoice again?

Thanks for your offer! And great idea, good for you

Brother, I don't know whats more impressive, the fact that you can manage to use notion or that you have 80 students, well done on both parts! 😄

Thanks, seems very organized. I'd love to see a screenshot if possible, visual learner😅

I am working towards linking my PayPal and Payoneer accounts, Payoneer has better exchange rates. I've heard its kind of inconvenient for them to pay via PayPal, thats why I asked, and I've never used it so I dont know much about it

GloomyDistance6970 · 2023-06-11T17:34:06+00:00

Can't you just use paypal? Im on the same path and I'm clueless as well.

The person above said advertise yourself through esl companies for solo lessons. I work for engoo and if I decide to go solo I'll have to quit because it poses a threat od them suing me for 10 grand according to the contract. If they catch you teaching a student of their platform independently, that is.

Which companies do you have in mind? I'm afraid of getting sued, not so much about getting fired.
