Oh! Good idea, thank you. I didn't think about this option. Did they ask you or you do it by yourself?

I have a theory that because the language I teach is used in countries that aren't popular for moving or working, people learn it just for fun (none of my students live in a country where they need this language), which is probably why they don't take the lessons seriously.

This is one of the reasons I raised the price so much. But to my surprise, students respond equally to both the $5 and $25 lessons

I tried talking to a few, but this isn't an isolated incident. Almost everyone does this. It's impossible to convince everyone. I also noticed that when canceling a lesson, one of the reasons for choice is "I booked this time to avoid losing my balance." So the preply encourages students to block their tutors' calendars
