Teaching online, freelance, can be incredibly rewarding. Unfortunately, from time to time, students may be absent despite booking a lesson with you due to a variety of reasons.

Very useful tip, you do not have to wait more than 15 min if the student is absent, check the cancellation policy.
Great video! Thank you for your content! Just watched it while waiting for my student and it was a great use of my time. Plus it gives me more confidence, that I´m on the right way. I enjoy your KZread Channel very much, so nice to find your advice and that you share your experience beeing a Preply teacher!
Thank you, this video is very helpful. 😊
I am just a new tutor, thank you for the tips they were so useful
Thanks Martin, your content has been very useful to me. I am a new Spanish tutor and I wasn't sure how to deal with these situations.

Glad it was helpful!
normally I wait in the class for 15 minutes. if the student does not show up I will send them a message. Looks like were unable to attend class would you like to reschedule for a more convenient time. Then i will sign out 5 minutes later. If the student wants me to teach using Skype or whatsapp I will have preply open in the background just in case the student wants to say that I never showed up. I also insist that the students meet me on preply first and then we can go to another app if they want. I also send a reminder to the student after the first instance of this about my policy on no shows. If i am going to be more than 15 minutes late I will let the student know in advance. if the previous class is running a little over I will also let the student that I will be with them within 5 minutes. So far during my three years on preply I have only been absent twice and those were because of power outages. I live in Cambodia and brownouts happen. if I am unable to attend a class I alway apologize to the student and offer to reschedule the class.
In any situation like that, I try to remain philosophical, and as you say, do something constructive during the waiting time, maybe some uncomplicated knitting or crochet that I can just drop if the student suddenly appears. OR listen to a nice audio reading of a poem 🌻🌞

Good evening, please can you tell us what application or software do you use in carrying out your teaching courses?

Hello there and thanks for your comment. Teaching online with Preply, I use their own platform to conduct lessons. If I am teaching privately, I would use Google Meet or Zoom. In terms of recording and editing the videos, I record the screen with Quicktime on my Mac and then edit videos with Final Cut Pro. I hope this helps answer your question.

What if the student doesn't show up during a trial class? As preply take 100% commission on trial classes, you cannot claim any compensation if the student doesn't show up, am I right? You just have to realize that you wasted time, meditate and accept it, nothing more, am I right? Thanks
are you moving to South Korea?
Was I the only one who heard "You can do some cocaine" at 5:18? 😮😅
Old kids love chocolate, oh yes !😄
I also started out as a Prepley Korean teacher. Thank you very much for your video. But can you make subtitles in Korean? There is a lot of useful information in your video, and unfortunately, I don't understand 100% of it. I'm sorry. (using translation apps)
hello, for your helpful video. what about if the student is impolite and dirty. shall I block him or send a msg to the admin?
Will Preply actually pay you if students was absent even though you were present and send materials and messages to students.without confirmation from the student?

When it is a TRIAL lesson, DO NOT reschedule the trial lesson as you will have long-term consequences on your profile. Your super tutor badge will be removed and other penalties will follow. Keep this in mind.

That is certainly true. Preply have recently updated their rules and rescheduling trials can go against your profile and lose that Super Tutor Badge.
I have a problem who never shows up nor communicate for many lessons. I’ve tried to communicate with her, asked her to reschedule if she won’t be available but she still doesn’t show up with no communication. She doesn’t confirm the lessons, and this is really frustrating. I want to cancel my subscription with her.
when we request payment the student get's angry and cancel their subscription
