What makes you leave your teacher, or look for a new one?

Aug 29, 2017

I am just wanting to ask language students what reasons they have for seeking a new language instructor. Below, I have listed some reasons that I can think of, but maybe you can provide me with some more based on your own experience with online teachers.

 

Here are some of the possible reasons:


1) The teacher was late for lessons or was not reliable enough.

2) You could not clearly understand your teacher (accent and / or  level of coursework).

3) You had an argument with him/her.

4) The teachers teaching hours no longer suited your schedule.

5) The teacher increased their hourly rate to exceed your budget.

6) You were simply 'bored' of seeing the same teacher.

7) The teacher blocked you (unusual, but it can happen).

8) The lesson material was not suitable for your learning requirements.

9) You decided to stop taking online lessons altogether.

10) The teacher lost their enthusiasm.

11) Bad or slow internet connection.

12) The tutor was distracted during your session with phone calls and such like.

13) Too much background noise in the tutor's home, or place of teaching.

 

If you can think of any more, your input would be much appreciated....

Thanks so much, Mark.
