Recently I received an email from italki indicating that a student had sent me an italki Gift Card. The student did that to compensate me for a session that lasted two hours longer than had been scheduled. I did not expect to be compensated for the extra time.

I just want to let you all know that I always give you good people a thumbs up, but it seems that someone cancels the thumbs up for no good reason that I can think of... oh well...
Sudeep...
Thank you for your very kind comments.
Sometimes compliments and kind words are worth much more than money or gold.
One small comment: the noun support is usually an uncountable noun (like help, information and advice, etc.) so it rarely has a plural form. Oh.... crazy English :)
It does not surprise me at all the fact that your student was grateful and pleased with your classes.
I think you are an excellent professional and a devoted teacher, who adapts the activities and materials to the students' needs, and spend a lot of time not only preparing the classes but doing them (if the class is 1 hour long you do not mind staying longer if it is needed).
I am glad to know that there are people who still show their gratitude to those who deserve it.
My purpose in writing this discussion was simply to help others make a kind jesture that could have been made using a different method. I hope the readers will understand my suggestion.
Richard, your English is usually so impeccable that when I saw ¨jesture¨ I had to go look it up and see if that was correct British spelling. Is that a typo? Or did you mean this? http://www.verbotomy.com/verbottle.php?jargonism_id=21469
