Issues joing classes as teacher, anyone else?

Anyone else get the issue of when you join a class within the first minute it says that the student is in the classroom but they don't appear until you reload the page a couple times?

I usually ask and they say that they have been in the class for a solid minute, but for me I was the only one in the class.

My accent in Spanish

Just wondering how people thing I sound, some say I sound blatantly non-native, whilst others are confused.

Edit - script: Cuando era niño, mi mamá pensaba que los jóvenes debían practicar un deporte y tocar un instrumento. Esto me incentivó a jugar futbol y me enseñó a trabajar en equipo, generar confianza y buscar una meta común. También me animó a tocar el piano para mejorar la coordinación entre mi cerebro y mi cuerpo, mi capacidad cognitiva, perseverancia y disciplina.

Luego, me interesé más en los pasatiempos y empecé a emplear más tiempo en ellos. Así que comencé a probar otros deportes como el basquetbol y el tenis. También, luego de desarrollar un muy buen gusto por la música, aprendí a tocar otros instrumentos como la guitarra y el violín. Todas estas herramientas fueron construyendo nuevas habilidades que podía utilizar en otras actividades.

Well, just tell me the truth M20

Trying to figure out what exactly I am doing wrong. (I’m not cutting my hair, been growing it 20 years strong 💪🏽) Already tried changing hairstyles a couple times. But yeah, give it to me straight

Question for students about booking…

Why do a lot of ya’ll tend to book anything other than trial lessons for the first lesson or hour long classes for the first class?

I can’t really figure it out. It takes up a lot of my time and the vast majority want conversational help. So now it’s 1 hour of somewhat awkward small talk at more than double the price of what it would’ve costed to just have a trial lesson. ($11 instead of $5)

Another question is… Do students really not look at the video/bio? Many of my students will book without realizing that I speak their language.

I would appreciate some in depth answers, I apologize if I come off as rude, I’m just confused.
