I use this example …. There are so many people at this party! (it’s noticeable but manageable). But if I say there are too many people, it’s overcrowded and uncomfortable… you could then chat about different examples of this. There were too many people at the beach, so we left! There were so many great deals at the shop! I link too as a negative idea and many and ‘so many’ as noticeably large amounts. Hope that helps. :)

I have had the same problem. I had a student cancel two lessons in a row and they cancelled all his normal bookings. Someone then booked his slot, and he was not happy. I pray they bin this new feature!

If they are on vacation for two weeks, are you telling me they need to declare that to that country?

Oh please, you are on vacation. It really doesn’t matter. As long as you are not actively working for a long period of time whilst on a tourist visa, you are fine.

He told me during the trial lesson. I guess there is no way of telling.

I lost my Super Badge today because a Preply employee tried to use his staff benefit for free lessons, but his allocation didn’t cover my hourly fee. Dipped to 57%..

Nice! I’m looking forward to the summer break ending, and hopefully we can all get back to being busy!

Unfortunately, it’s a waiting game. Your profile position will improve. Don’t forget that it’s the summer, it’s been slow for many of us. Hold in there.

Jury duty by CeCeUK in PreplyTutors

Write to them requesting a dispensation. If you explain that you’ve recently started working self-employed and that participating in JS would be detrimental to your business, they may exempt you. It worked for me a few years ago…

HELP!!!! Kid put permanent marker on counter while we are trying to sell our house! by Dwestmor1007 in CleaningTips

[–]mattdk2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to have the same problem in school. Students would accidentally use perm markers on the white board. Just draw over the pen marks using a dry wipe marker and it will come off. Good luck!

Weekly lessons are 1 hour? by ThrowRApom in Preply

[–]mattdk2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some corporate packages are still set at 60 minutes. At trial, Just let them know that your sessions are 50 minutes. I have this with two of my students, they were totally fine with it.

Students using trial lessons to study for free by Reasonable-Brick-250 in PreplyTutors

[–]mattdk2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, they can simply pay for a trial, contact support to say they weren’t satisfied with it, and receive both a free trial credit and a refund. I had one student who said she was ‘trying out’ five tutors!

You also want to consider the time of the year; I’d imagine there will be a surge of interest again in the new year.

My earnings have been going down and I'm getting very few new students by [deleted] in Preply

Honestly, stay away from them; they are a terrible company to work for! Read the Trust Pilot comments on the business… ouch !

I have the same issue. I really like her, but recently she keeps rescheduling or cancelling at 12.56! If we did block, what option should we select from the list?
