Juri: Don’t be sorry — you’ve done nothing wrong. Chris gave you great advice. You should definitely ignore Alice (she’s the expert on what not to post…). Also, it’s not clear why someone corrected your English — that’s customary in the notebook section, not the discussion forum. Anyhow, welcome to the neighborhood, where most people are friendly.

You should go to the teacher's discussion forum. There are many old discussions about teaching online. Frequent advice includes having a good internet connection, having a good headset, having scanned copies of documents that you usually work with, and so forth.

Also, your privacy settings prevent people from sending you direct messages. Obviously, it is better to allow potential students to contact you.

welcome aboard

Juri: Looking at your profile, the problem is that you’re only offering one hour on your entire schedule into the infinite future (not even 1 hour / week, but one hour for all eternity). You need to offer as many hours as possible every day or at least every week, not just one hour total. Additionally, your price is ridiculously low for Japanese — no (serious) student will take you seriously. If you truly only want to work one hour, you might as well charge $80 dollars — it won’t make a difference :) (That’s a joke, but hopefully you get the idea.) If you need further advice, send me a message.
