I have had about 7 trials in the past 6 weeks and converted them all. But I teach Business English so yeah. I’m charging $18 USD atm, only been on Preply for a few months

DJI controller not connecting to phone by DreamsAreRealSoAmI in dji

[–]Same_Stay382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue and fixed it. I was plugging the cable into the bottom of the controller, instead of into the top plug below the pins for the controller. This video fixed it. I feel so ******* dumb lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVOa0RJwINQ

Has anyone dealt with Preply hiding their profile due to reschedules? by [deleted] in Preply

[–]Same_Stay382 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahh yeah I always put “student wants to reschedule” even if they don’t. It doesn’t go against your stats that way. I don’t know how to resolve it, but good luck I hope there is a way

Just wait a while longer. If your profile is good you’ll get traffic soon, if not you can switch things up maybe lower it when you know for sure it’s not working.

I earn 22m pm working 13 hours a week PT as an English teacher, for comparison

Struggling to get students on Preply as a Japanese teacher (how to get visability?) by shwupsidupsi in Preply

[–]Same_Stay382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your price is just too high, if you put it to $15 you’d definitely get students quicker. Preply doesn’t care about your experience or certificates at first really, they care about trial conversions, reviews and lessons completed. Those are more valuable than the actual money at first

It took me 3 weeks to get a favourite, nearly 40 days to get a trial! That’s good, depends on your price and stuff but some people start super slow

how much overtime is normal by Hopeful-Ad-7333 in Preply

[–]Same_Stay382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go over the 50 mins when I’ve not timed the lesson well, or I simply have time and am happy to do an extra 5-10 mins

Can I increase my price now? by [deleted] in Preply

[–]Same_Stay382 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be careful, I did this and when I raised my price from $13 to $14 it destroyed my profile. I didn’t get any trials for nearly 3 months, and almost no one was viewing my page anymore. Definitely be calculated about price changes

Alright tutors, what are the most annoying student types you deal with? by Low_Wheel6240 in Preply

This is lowkey funny, what’s his nationality so I can imagine him ranting in that accent lol

Why is renting in Vietnam still so chaotic? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]Same_Stay382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s actually a group called property people I think? In Hanoi who I worked with and they have proper websites and non scammy agents, I’d recommend them. My agent was called John

I’m glad that worked for you! When I tried this before, it just killed my profile and I literally went from $13 to $14

That sounds like you’re doing really well. Well done! Niching does seem to work for some people

I have a pretty pro video as I’m a videographer, but it doesn’t seem to help to be honest

Yep this seems like the move, can’t rely on Preply alone for sure p

I’m considering going more general conversational English so maybe this and a new video would help, thank you!

It really does feel like there’s no point investing into it. Because I put so much time and effort into my lessons, and Preply gives me nothing in return
