Have you ever had a teacher change, or try to change, conditions after accepting your request? For me, this is particularly inconvenient, because I take a lesson every day, and I need it at a certain time. So if the conditions are unacceptable, I often don't have enough time to schedule someone else in that time.
The conditions teachers have tried to change on me are time, price, number of participants and type of lesson. Time and price are self explanatory. Recently I had some guy insist on adding his wife to our conversation. I've tried this before, and found it to be not nearly as effective as one on one. Incidentally, I only take casual conversation lessons. And it's rare, but sometimes a teacher refuses to do a casual conversation. Most teachers really like this kind of lesson, but some say that they can't do it because they are not my friend, and talking casually would be inappropriate.
Has a teacher tried to change conditions on you?
