After watching an older video of yours, I'm glad to know that you ended up increasing your prices Also, you're the first person that I've seen on KZread giving a real life example of how asking for a review can end up badly. Kudos for that I use PowerPoints during my classes and I send them to my students after each lesson. In all of these pp, there's a slide in the end with "Did you like this lesson? Your rating helps me a lot :) " + link to the website Here where I live is too late, but tomorrow I'm gonna check preply, to see if I can also start there, since I wanna start giving more classes. Thanks for the tips

Honestly I don't think that letting students negotiate prices is a good advice. People don't do that with language schools, so they shouldn't do that with tutors either. If someone asks you that, my advice is to say "For the amount of work that I put into preparing the classes, I can't keep charging the current amount. What we can do instead is to adjust the duration of the classes so we can keep working together".

Be aware of Preply tricks on teachers. Firstly they don't pay you for trial lessons while they charge students fully. Secondly, they close your account whenever they wish with no notice and taking all your money from your Preply wallet. This happened to me. There is no trace of my account on Preply now as they completely deleted it with no explanation and they even do not reply my emails.

Thanks for the kind words. I believe some students can now choose to book 25 minute lessons as well as 50 minute lessons. I also, on occasion, get students who are still able to book 60 minute trial lessons.

Hi. I'm new on preply and I'd like to ask couple questions. I'm going to have a trial lesson this evening, but I don't know how to conduct it. I have an extra teaching material but I don't know how to apply it on the platform. Do I have to worry about it or preply provides an extra teaching material on the trial lesson?
@teachercook-e25722 ай бұрын
Good question, you're welcome to use Preply's provided materials if you wish or your own materials. I usually use free lesson plans from 'onestopenglish' or 'linguahouse'. I feel these are often rather up to date and engaging for students of all levels. Hope this helps

How to use zoom for preply
@teachercook-e25722 ай бұрын
As you would for any regular Zoom meeting. Just make sure to take one or two screenshots during the Zoom meeting as sometimes Preply ask for proof that the meeting took place outside of Preply. By teaching on the Preply site the lessons are automatically confirmed since they can see that the lesson took place.
