Hi everyone. I just found out Italki sent me a message related to upgrading lesson categories. Does it apply to businnes, Kids, and test only? In my case I am a community tutor and provide with conversational and grammar lessons. Do I have to upgrade something? If someone has more knowledge on this, I would appreciate the help.
Hopefully I don't need certificate to keep teaching conversational and grammar lessons here.[Image]

Answer

I 'upgraded' to KIDS and TEST - I already have those types of students - but italki seems to want certificates now. I do NOT know what would happen if I did not have certificates for these things. Would they have stopped me teaching children I have been teaching for a long time?

We need more information on this, I feel.

Answer

Hi, Wilber. If you don't teach children, business English, or test preparation, you don't need to worry about this. It has been discussed a lot on the teacher's forum. You can find this by clicking 'Forum' from the teaching homepage on the desktop site.
