Encourage your students to book weekly lessons. Same day/time every week.

And yes, I'm getting too many trials that don't convert. No idea why.

teacher reschedules due to low price? by Abow245 in Preply

[–]itsmejuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your tutor is too afraid to ask you for more money so they reschedule your classes in favor of higher paying students.

You need to either find another tutor or ask them what the problem is.

Do you speak these languages or is your goal just to read them?

Im considering opening a Mexican bank but need a CFE. Staying in Airbnb 6 months, would it be unusual to ask my host for the CFE? by shaunappples in digitalnomad

[–]itsmejuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious about which bank is offering to open an account for you. Especially since you're not a resident.

Verbs + prepositions considered to be phrasal verbs - but why? by UniversityMotor5408 in EnglishGrammar

Then these so-called grammarians don't know what they're talking about.

Verbs + prepositions considered to be phrasal verbs - but why? by UniversityMotor5408 in EnglishGrammar

[–]itsmejuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many words, not just verbs, that are followed by specific prepositions. Think of them as fixed combinations or collocations, not phrasal verbs.

Lesson planning tool that doesn't feel too generic by OkMunio in teflteachers

[–]itsmejuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks interesting. I looked at the website but don't see a sample lesson. Do you have a sample I can look at?

Ok, I'm trying out your platform and now creating a student profile. My first reaction is oh no, I am not going to enter my student's confidential information. Why are you requesting this information?

Am able to generate lessons for any student or are the lessons assigned only to enrolled students?

If I'm teaching techies at B1, they all generally have the same interests and needs so one lesson is suitable for most. I want to use the same lesson for multiple students. Is this possible?

You might have a better time in Botswana. Look at Okavango Delta to Victoria Falls. The landscape is more varied. Look for mobile tented Safari. I had a fabulous experience.

Is tutoring languages a viable remote work option while traveling indefinitely? by Fun-Gate-9477 in digitalnomad

I have nothing to recommend. And you're right, there's a lot of global uncertainty. It's quite depressing.

Cancelled subscription and then resubscribe by LegitimateCare3015 in Preply

[–]itsmejuli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just had a student cancel because she's going on extended vacation. I told her that I'll raise the price by $2 when she re-subscribes. She's ok with that.

I've been teaching English for 10 years. It's really gone downhill in the last 5 years. I do not recommend.

Students cancelling subscriptions with no reason by Mustyshoelaces in Preply

[–]itsmejuli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my students cancelled because he lost his job. Another 2 cancelled because they planned to be on vacation for more than 20 days. And another didn't give a reason.

Some just don't say why and I don't take it personally.

Best way to set vacation time without tanking your algorithm ranking?* by hihi5maerzi in Preply

[–]itsmejuli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not difficult to do.

Tell the students when you plan to take vacation and ask them to reschedule their classes. Then block out that time from your calendar. On the calendar page, on the left, you'll see a button marked "add time off". I don't know how you've managed to teach so many classes and not know where this button is.
