Yes, Kyle, way # 3 is the most effective way to give a special price for one of your students. My teacher also offers me a very special price since I was her first student on italki and I do it the same way with my student as well.

As Chris mentioned, this is one of several things that are repeatedly discussed with italki support along with instant tutoring which they removed around 2 years ago!

You can write 5 things that you would like to change or suggest on this link:

You have to be really patient with italki support because it takes them years to change anything. 90% of italki support team accounts are test accounts, so they don’t really use the website as much as we do, therefore they don’t experience themselves the things that we need or continuously complain about.

Unfortunately no. This is occasionally discussed on the private teachers discussion forum.

Abdullah, It’s a great idea that I used once with my teacher. The only problem is that those extra lessons won’t count towards the language challenge that many of italki students are doing this month. Also, they won’t count in the lessons the teacher taught.

I think the easiest way is to give her more lessons in the package and just mark yourself as unavailable on your schedule in the time slots that she chooses for the extra lessons.

That's a shame Chris :(

Do you think I did it in the most effective way in the end or do you suggest doing it in any other ways?

Maybe we should send it to Italki as a recommendation when they update the application. It would help both students and teachers.
