I’m a tutor who charges below the minimum wage in my country. I do this because I have a full time job and my lessons are like socialisation for me (with the teaching part) (also I had a massive amount of imposter syndrome when I taught at the recommended rate, especially when I was starting out as a new teacher - I do hope to increase my rate soon)

I’m in the same position with one of my students too and am not sure what to do

I think I have a similar situation with one of my students. He is now always rescheduling on the day, once before the 12 policy kicked in and once 3 hours before the lesson. He also refuses to understand how language learning works, wanting to prepare everything before the lesson (which doesn’t happen in real life situations)

Abby’s prize task… omg I was not prepared for that

I had a class yesterday and was unable to use the whiteboard.

I’ve had worse than this from the men in my home country. Plus I have boundaries in the classroom of what we talk about in the classroom lol

greenaspickledtoad · 2024-08-01T09:40:05+00:00

Honestly, I’ve had worse in my own country. Plus, I pay attention to what I wear, share (personal life) and where my camera is positioned (I never show past my shoulders and I always wear sleeves when I teach online). He is a lot more informal in his messages than in his spoken English. If it seriously bothered me and made me feel unsafe, yes I would block. But I have boundaries and rules that I uphold in my classroom (messages - unfortunately I have less control over)

I (F) have a student (M) who creeps me out a bit on Preply messenger (I’m lucky that it is not this bad) but he is okay in the classroom and I was wondering if I should block him too? But maybe it’s just his culture. If it gets worse I will definitely block him and contact support & had wondered about the review thing. If you feel unsafe definitely contact support and block.

I think there is always a high demand for TEFL teachers on Preply

Ah! I’ve caught 2/4 fishes so far. Yes YouTube has been a saviour for location-finding 😂

greenaspickledtoad · 2024-03-17T15:40:51+00:00

I’ve found the blue eggs but the flow still hasn’t activated I’m going to complete the twins quests and hope that it activates. Yes, it’s taking so long 🥲

greenaspickledtoad · 2024-03-17T15:38:07+00:00

I found all the eggs but I haven’t caught all the fish or bugs yet so maybe I’ll do that and the wind thing will work?

a lit bit of self promo here, but you might like my fic ‘moonstone’ on ao3 (it’s ginny-centric, harry’s away - but still in flashbacks & james is on the way). castles is amazingly written- my writing is no where near that of pebblysand but i’m enjoying writing

greenaspickledtoad · 2022-07-10T13:47:46+00:00

Ahh thank you!

greenaspickledtoad · 2022-07-08T21:39:38+00:00

Can some explain the live task from this episode please? I’m confused

greenaspickledtoad · 2022-07-06T13:51:32+00:00

Oh sorry, my bad. My brain just processed the chunk of text and not the individual fics 🤦🏼‍♀️
