How do I know if a student is trustworthy?

MyFinance at italki

On your personal menu bar, there is a tab called "MyFinance". That is where you can always see how many italki credits (ITC) you have in your account. If you need to purchase more ITC, you can do it from this page.

To set up your MyFinance account, you will need to provide italki with additional information so italki can verify your identity, including full name, mailing address, and phone number. This information will be kept secure and not displayed on italki. These details are important to prevent fraud.

You will also need to create another password (italki PIN). This adds an additional layer of security to protect you from unauthorized transactions.

Feedback

Receiving feedback from students is a crucial part of the italki teaching platform. This is how talented teachers can develop a reputation for quality teaching.

Understanding the Teacher Ratings

As teachers teach students, it is crucial that students leave feedback for the teachers.

Overall This rating is an average of the other ratings and then averaged out by the site. This seems complex, but the basis is that more ratings = higher confidence the ratings are true.

Withdrawing money from your teaching account

Now that you have italki credits (ITCs), you will want to withdraw them from italki.

Teachers can withdraw italki credits (ITCs) from their accounts at any time, once they have reached at least $30 USD (300 ITC).

italki will transfer your italki credits to either Paypal or Alipay. You must create an account with one of them.

Payment Options

Paypal: Paypal.com is owned by Ebay.com, and is a popular form of online payment system in the US and many other parts of the world. In order to open a paypal account you will need a credit card or a linked bank account. If you use a linked bank account, it may take you 3-5 days for Payal to authenticate your account.
Alipay: alipay.com is owned by alibaba.com, and is a popular form of online payment system in China.

Paypal or Alipay will charge their own transaction fees.

italki recommendations
