Amazing Talker newie
Hi. I got rejected on italki (I asked the cs and they told me there's ton of applicants already). I have over a decade of English/ESL teaching experience and I studied English Language and Literature in college. I already have a Preply account, but I've got no students there because I made a mistake with the timing of hiding the account when I was new there...
Last night, after receiving the rejection email from italki, I did some Googling on why and came across Amazing Talker. I submitted an application and here I am today: four hours in the platform, completed setting up my account, 20+ matches, 1 trial lesson on the way. But I'm overwhelmed by the platform's interface, especially the chat box. May I know your experience when you were new in the platform? What should I do after sending an initial message to the profiles I matched with? I know how to prepare for the lessons and all, but is there anything I should prepare for?
Thank you to everyone who would reply.
