Let italki help you find a language teacher with Learning Requests Finding a teacher thats right for a student can be a time-consuming process. Every student has different goals, and comes from a different background. Right now, students have to take the initiative to find a teacher. However, shouldnt there also be a way for students to post what they are looking for, so interested teachers can contact the students? Thats why were trying an experiment that were calling Learning Requests /teachers/learning_request.htm (you must be logged in) With Learning Requests, students can submit information about their: Background in the language What type of lessons they want Their budget Time availability After a student submits a Learning Request, italki will try its best to match up teachers that would be the most capable of helping the student to achieve his or her learning goals. italki will contact those teachers. Finally, italki will return a list of suggested teachers back to the student. Only students that have purchased italki Credits (ITC) can use this feature. We hope that this feature will be helpful for students who need help finding a teacher. We think this feature will eventually evolve into a system where teachers can easily view the demand for their services.
