Nice voice. Very chilled. The exact opposite of all the hard-sell other people put on KZbin...

Very valuable info and advice, thank you!

[@lebzgold7475]

Loved this! Did you start right away, or after your scheduled call with italki? x

[@jasminerose7867]

:) I started after my scheduled call with them, it took about 2 days to then get started and people booked in fairly quickly

Thanks for sharing..did you get students within a week of starting?

Nice video mate. Can you please tell me how do you organize conversation based classe because It looks easy but some times its really hard to talk about something with the student. Can you please give me some tips? Thank you

[@jasminerose7867]

You can message students beforehand asking if they want you to prepare anything specific for the lesson e.g, topics, articles. Some students like to read articles and get their pronounciation corrected and after you can discuss the article. If they don't want to do that or their level is high then I would say just prepare a bunch of prompts (italki classroom has a feature where they give you prompts to talk about) as a lot of non-talktative students just say 'yes' also try to get them to open up by talking about your own experiences then leave time for them to open up. It can be difficult with some students, so maybe talk to them about speaking more (i've not yet done that but it may help if you have a recurring student who doesn't talk a lot)

YOur volume is a bit low Goddess! It's nice to record high so we can lower it if needed.

How do you get students in Italki?

[@jasminerose7867]

It’s best to set your prices relatively low at first to get new students then once you’re in high demand you can raise your price. Also commenting on posts in the discover tab on italki helps the community to see your profile

Excellent advice

[@setokaiba2351]

Was it hard getting students when you had 0 students

[@jasminerose7867]

Sort of, it took about 3 days to get some students again, I started posting on the discovery page on italki in hopes to get some traffic to my page and just waited
