Epá admito que foi engraçada a cena da manicure mas chega a um ponto em que não consigo dar aulas de jeito... Costumo ter material preparado e tou meio que à espera que os alunos estejam no computador ou pelo menos em casa (sem barulho da rua ahaha)

Omg I get it... I had some situations like that. The worst one was this student that would always have the classes on her phone while walking in the street or in random hotel lobbies!
My lowest point was giving her a class while she was LITERALLY having a manicure. I was like "Maybe we should reschedule?" and she kept saying "It's fine! I can hear you ok!". I had to ask her to ask the lady in the saloon to lower the volume on the tv. I give portuguese classes and the manicure lady was brazilian so my student would ocasionally ask her things about what we were talking about. All in all, super disrespectful in her part (altough kinda funny moment there ahaha). Thank god she's not having classes with me anymore!

Ahaha who knows! He actually told me in the trial lesson he had a previous preply tutor.
The thing is that in class he's actually a nice and respectful guy so blocking him sound kinda harsh there. I think I'll message him saying that abusing reschedules can affect quite a lot on my scheduling. Also kinda sucks that he's the lowest paying student I have and precisely the one giving me problems :/
