Don’t sell yourself short
Honestly as a student, I need to have this rant. Preply tutors. Please stop charging so little for a lesson. You are worth more and honestly as a student, I can say the cheap ones (even if they seem qualified) seem like they won’t provide (ie. you pay for what you get) enough and I just skip.
English is probably the most sought after lesson, yet the $5 a lesson one will probably not give two sh*ts about you.
Plus you set a standard that tutors should be paid less. I dunno. Maybe I’m wrong. But you should up your price.
EDIT: Thank you all for your replies, both for and against. It has really given me so much insight into being a tutor on Preply. Regardless of what you choose to charge, you are all helping students! So I appreciate you all 😊
