Teaching the teacher

Hello. I would like to start learning English with the teacher. I sent messages to teachers, but why ignore the message? Maybe here, you must first assign a class, and then later write the teacher? So how did I know they will be engaged or not?

Hello Alexandr, you've asked a fair question. On italki, you can contact a teacher whether you have credits or not, so sometimes it's difficult for us to gauge whether a potential student is serious or not, when we see that person hasn't taken any lessons as yet.

 

I try to answer all enquiries, but perhaps some teachers only respond to an actual booking.

 

It may be worth it "to bite the bullet" and take a trial session with a teacher. At least that would give you a student history that the teachers can see.
