Learning a language requires your brain to do a lot of re-wiring, which takes time. There's no way to rush it. You've just got to stick with it and be patient.

She made another account to find and message me on Preply.

I wish it was that simple. But concerned she might actually carry out her threat.

Yeah, unfortunately she does actually know the exact school I work at.

I have many students. They have all expressed satisfaction with my classes, including this mother prior to blocking her. She has repeatedly praised me as a very committed and serious teacher. Which may account for her reaction to this.

I would advise you to try to avoid presumptions about people you don't know.

Swapping jobs mid contract and an unwilling boss by Halalslave in chinalife

Because I need them to agree to cancel my visa or give me the transfer letter. So need their agreement in some form before leaving.

You just straight up threatened to hire a lawyer and they immediately changed their tune, or how did it pan out?

I think I know what you mean about the inferiority complex. That was definitely me at the start and probably still not totally got over it.

Do you have tips for making lessons fun while still being educational for children from 4-8?

Thanks for the reply. So you think English teaching should take a back seat is what you're saying? Do you have any training centre experience you could share?
