I’ve seen this one discussion in one community saying that tutors who teach a language only need to know how to speak the target language (besides ones that English).
They argue that English tutors (who are native) still can teach people from other countries without having to know that country’s language so why do they need to know English to teach their native language.
What is your opinion on this? Be straightforward

I’ve had 2 students just canceled their trials with me after me thanking them for being interested and asking for their learning needs. Did I do something wrong, I’ve just joined for more than a week and already had 2 canceled 😊.
The common thing between them is that they don’t fill out their learning needs and don’t read my message.

Seriously, why?
I have this one girl who acted very interested in my class and sent me her personal contact, even live near me.
I told her to give her a call the next day because it was already 10PM then, and she said that’s perfect.
Then 1 hour before our scheduled call, I sent her a text asking if she would be able to pick up my call, no response.
3 hours later, I told her I supposed she was busy and didn’t give any call because I wasn’t sure if she was able to pick up.
5 hours later, I sent her a msg asking if our SCHEDULED trial class would still happen since I didn’t get to communicate with her.
I have to prepare for the trial as well and she even told me when she would want to start learning, but then just suddenly vanished into thin air.
All I can say is ‘Why?’. My msgs were not pushy, they were all friendly and professional. Getting ignored like this is not just unprofessional but also disrespectful.
I feel sorry for those who have been in the same situation.

How do you guys send follow up and tasks for students who are adults? it’s always on delivered and I also want to adapt my teaching style to the students.

Is it considered as rude if I ask students to leave me a review? They seem to enjoy my lessons so far but I just can’t ask them for one.

I have a student who booked me immediately after viewing my profile and she didn’t have her learning needs filled which is…not quite usual for me. I sent a message to remind her but it got me thinking am I just one of her replacements 😂

I was born and raised in HCMC, have clear Southern accent and experience in teaching.

I'm currently teaching on Preply and I got my first student yesterday, we did a 50 minutes trial and he booked classes with me immediately after that which I am very grateful for. I'm here in hope that I can find more students to help them out, I'm very dedicated about every lesson I prepare and I'm confident that I'm good at explaining too. My English level is C1 and I can communicate very well in English, so getting you to understand my language (Vietnamese) is not a big deal to me.
However, I believe that the price I'm offering on Preply is very decent but my teaching hour is below 20 hours so the submission is very high (33%), so I'm left with nothing much.
So if you're interested, I can send you the link to my intro video that I have on Preply.

I’ve just applied to be a Vietnamese tutor on Preply and I’m practicing for my trial class. If you’re interested, send me a message. I won’t charge any fees, just give me feedback on what I should improve.
I have Southern accent and live in HCMC.
It will only be around 30 minutes or maybe a little more! Thanks a lot

Ai đã tham gia trial Preply và có mã referral giảm 70% cho em xin với, e muốn học thử thầy này mà mắc quá hjc

Hiện tại e đg học năm cuối và em đang rất lo sợ thị trường việc làm hiện tại và đang cố gắng hết sức để phát triển và build profile của bản thân. Tuy nhiên em cảm thấy em vẫn đang dặm chân tại chỗ khi chưa có gì ở em thật sự nổi bật.
Gần đây em đang quan tâm đến việc mở rộng network, trước đó em cũng hay tham gia các CLB TA và có cơ hội mở rộng network. Tuy nhiên thì e chưa thật sự tham gia 1 event networking thật thụ nào hay có định hướng rõ ràng cho bản thân.
Về em:
- Em học Thẩm Định (thiên hướng BĐS)
- Em có thể giao tiếp TA lưu loát
- Khả năng bắt chuyện với người lạ của em khá tốt
- Em có thể đứng nói trước đám đông tự tin

Mọi người nếu ai có trải nghiệm gì có thể chia sẻ và khuyên em với được ko ạ? Và em nên kiếm các sự kiện đó ở đâu ạ, em cảm ơn ạ
