Question 1

How do I become an ImChatty teacher?

Accepted Answer

1. Complete your profile 2. Go to the [tutors](/tutors) page 3. Validate your langauge test and 4. Update your settings to set your [availability](/settings?section=partner&tab=9)

Question 2

Collabs with ImChatty?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Let me know if you have any ideas. We definitely should be cross promoting our services! jefhild@imchatty.com

Question 3

How long is a 1 hr session?

Accepted Answer

A 1 hr session is 50 minutes. We're giving the tutor time to evaluate your work and hopefully add some constructive information before their next session!

Question 4

How do students find me? Does ImChatty assign students to tutors?

Accepted Answer

Students choose their tutor. We don't assign them. Once you're approved, your profile shows up on the [tutors](/tutors) page, where students compare tutors by language, price, bio and open times, then book one of your open slots. The booking is confirmed right away, and you get an email plus a message in your ImChatty chat. Tip: share your profile link on your own social channels, and keep the free trial lesson turned on. Most first bookings come from that.

Question 5

Are sessions scheduled weekly or monthly?

Accepted Answer

Neither. Each session is booked one at a time. You set a weekly schedule of the hours you're available in your [availability settings](/settings?section=partner&tab=9). Students can book any open 50-minute slot from that schedule, up to 14 days ahead and at least 2 hours in advance. There are no monthly contracts or packages for now. A regular student simply books their next session each time.

Question 6

How do I know if a student will keep taking lessons regularly?

Accepted Answer

Students don't sign up for a fixed number of lessons, so a booking only covers that one session. A student who comes back is a regular student. Every booking appears under [Bookings](/settings?section=bookings) in your settings. The best way to keep students is a strong first lesson. Agree on a goal together, and before the session ends, suggest a regular time for the next one. Students can book their next slot straight from the session.

Question 7

Do I communicate with students directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You and your students message each other directly in ImChatty chat. Our team doesn't sit in the middle. Booking confirmations, reschedules and cancellations also show up in that chat automatically. Please keep scheduling, lessons and payments on ImChatty. That's what protects both of you if there's a no-show or a dispute.

Question 8

What happens if a session is cancelled?

Accepted Answer

If either of you cancels more than 24 hours before the session, nothing is charged. The student is charged 24 hours before the session starts. After that point, if you cancel or don't show up, the student gets a full refund. If the student cancels late, the charge stays in place. Either of you can also reschedule from [Bookings](/settings?section=bookings).

Question 9

I'm approved. Is there anything else I need to do before students can book me?

Accepted Answer

Students can book you once you have: 1. an approved real photo, 2. a payout method set up (Stripe or PayPal), and 3. at least one weekly time slot in your [availability](/settings?section=partner&tab=9). Once those are in place, you're live and there's nothing to wait for from our side. After that, the more you share your profile link, the sooner your first booking comes in.
