Samar, have you seen this?
https://www.italki.com/discussion/193105

During the previous crisis some people (mostly people you know) here gathered and decided to set an alternative forum, just in case.
Unfortunately I haven't registered there yet:(

Speaking of the site for tutors, look: if you have a popular youtube channel or facebook group, you will have people contacting you and asking if you give lessons. 
Maha was quite a success and even starred in an episode of an Italian film. Perhaps what attracts students is her personality (and in some cases even looks) but well, a teacher must have a personality:)

But tell me, how this new site for tutors will be better than iTalki? What may it have (in the part of "lessons") that italki doesn't quite have? How it can be made better?

@Val
I think making money will be gained if the site takes a commission at least 20% from the transactions between the student and the tutor or maybe if we send some materials online

Val, an app, something like a game, that makes two inexperienced learners actually engage and continue language exchange.

I am Web developer and I interested in languages. In 2009 I had an idea to create a language exchange site. But I didn't found how to make money from it. Another problem is marketing. iTalki, probably, has millions of users. I have a blog on the internet without any followers. Do you have any idea that better then iTalki? Can it make money? Let's talk.
