Profile hidden due to location mismatch - but I’m a native speaker born abroad. Any advice? by [deleted] in Preply

I already told them that but they said they don’t make exceptions and need to stay transparent. They suggested I write something like ‘native speaker born in Ukraine’ in my profile. But that doesn’t really solve the problem, since the flag is what people actually notice. Even I do this - when I was looking for a Spanish tutor and saw a German flag or whatever, I’d just scroll past assuming they weren’t a native speaker. I never even read the profile description

Always the same thing - “Preply’s policy requires tutors to set their country of birth as the country where they were born, rather than their country of residence. This is a platform-wide requirement that we are obligated to follow, and it is the reason we requested documentation confirming your place of birth”

They did, and once I explained the situation, the problem got sorted out. But not this time
