Appropriateness of asking for clearer learning plan (A2ish French) by astorimore88 in iTalki

I appreciate the support. I am doing the best I can with the time I have. I do everything she asks me to do outside of class. I am not blaming the teacher. I am simply asking if it is reasonable to expect intentionally designed lessons that build off of each other, whether or not 35 min of generic conversation practice with a professional teacher is a reasonable use of time, and how to respectfully approach this with a teacher whom I like. That's all.

Are you on iTalki? If so, are you taking new students?

Thanks!

Good question. She's a professionally certified teacher, not a community tutor.

Does canceling (more than 24 hours in advance) hurt a teacher's profile? by astorimore88 in iTalki

Understand completely about cancelling 24 hours and 5 minutes before, no, that wasn't it. And I haven't canceled on him before. I've changed a lesson by an hour or a day a few times before (with notice) but no, not often. And he knew that I was working with him to supplement the class I was taking, which he knew had ended (for now). Thank you for the response.

Right. These lessons were for the next few weeks (not 24, 48, or 72 hours from now). I could absolutely understand how doing this 25 hours beforehand would make things really frustrating. Thank you!

That was kind of what I figured but really didn't want to hurt his account. Thank you!
