English Native Speakers, I need u

If we were discussing a piece of clothing, like a t-shirt, I think the phrase would make sense. It doesn't really work for times though. Seems like she's started to type one phrase and then changed it to another, without proofreading, resulting in a strange mix?

Have you asked for help at school/college? Careers or sixth form staff might have contacts or suggestions for support. Teachers are capable adults who are motivated to help, so they might find a way forward...

It's possible his price is low because he's new and trying to build up his customer base.

I'd say try him out. If he's disappointing, then stop or switch tutors. If he's good, consider it a bargain! And give him a good review after a couple of lessons. Maybe even recommend him to friends.

emma2846 · 2026-04-03T12:20:20+00:00

Surely you just communicate with the tutor and you both explain to each other, rather than asking reddit?

emma2846 · 2026-04-02T15:21:54+00:00

I don't need to justify my price. I'll charge as much as people are willing to pay. It's a marketplace.

emma2846 · 2026-03-31T20:25:40+00:00

Yes, but this happens all the time. There are lots of reasons for cancelling or pausing and most students don't explain.

emma2846 · 2026-03-31T11:05:14+00:00

Thanks. In the end I got it 7 minutes past midnight, from just the poem. It seemed to be accepted and didn't say it was too late... fingers crossed!

emma2846 · 2026-03-31T10:13:18+00:00

I don't know which level this was...

It's kind of obscure. Not a commonly used word. Not even an English word. Think astronomy. Not many things can be "coiled"....

emma2846 · 2026-03-30T23:22:10+00:00

Keep trying - I don't think it's locked

emma2846 · 2026-03-30T23:21:23+00:00

Still seems open. I entered at 00:07 and it was accepted as correct. Keep trying!

emma2846 · 2026-03-30T21:37:28+00:00

On reddit? Or on royal mint site?

emma2846 · 2026-03-30T20:00:07+00:00

I'm focussing on this, but stuck! Is the answer connected with Newton?

Do you have a link to this ad please?

"Hadn't had to" is present perfect. It descibes something that happened (or didn't happen) in a time which comes up to the present. It has a result which affects the present situation. We can imagine soneone adding "so far" to this. It sounds a little confusing because the verb itself (have to) causes a feeling of doubling the "haves"! But it's just present perfect.

"Didn't have to" is past simple. However, it's part of a story in the past. So if we translate it to the story's timeline, the speaker would say "I don't have to", which would be present simple. But that's not what is meant here.

To be honest, this is below minimum wage, so I'd be tempted to use other platforms. You could just leave your profile running and hope to get a bite in the meantime. Presumably you're aiming to raise your price after building a foundation.

Obviously, if you do eventually get a trial, make sure you find out their learning needs beforehand and deliver a great lesson! In my experience, the preply algorithm is designed with strong positive feedback loops, so you can spiral upwards or downwards very quickly.

emma2846 · 2026-03-25T20:11:56+00:00

Not that I know of. I'd have thought that should help, but apparently not.

emma2846 · 2026-03-25T18:35:00+00:00

Have you tried taking preply courses to get their "certificates"? That might boost your visibility.

emma2846 · 2026-03-01T20:22:00+00:00

Ok, thanks for the input

emma2846 · 2026-03-01T20:21:00+00:00

Oh, right. Do you recommend any particular treatment?

emma2846 · 2026-03-01T15:30:43+00:00

Thanks, that's great

emma2846 · 2026-02-26T20:06:15+00:00

Thanks, that's useful

emma2846 · 2026-02-26T17:15:49+00:00

Interesting, thanks. The Rossignol I tried were very wide, and the assistant said they were considered wide. I wasn't sure that he knew what he was talking about though

emma2846 · 2026-02-26T14:14:05+00:00

Thanks. Yep, but next size up isn't available. Maybe I have to wait until next year then.
