What if I don’t like my tutor? Can I change tutors?
Yes, absolutely! Finding the perfect connection between a student and tutor is crucial for effective learning, and we understand that sometimes the first tutor you try might not be the ideal fit for your specific personality or learning style.
Consider Open Communication First
Before deciding to switch, if the issue is related to teaching style, pace, or focus rather than a personality clash, we encourage you to communicate openly with your current tutor. Explain what's working well and what you'd like to adjust. Many tutors are adaptable and appreciate the feedback to tailor the lessons better to your needs. A simple conversation might resolve the issue!
Your Freedom to Choose
However, if communication doesn't resolve the issue, or if you simply feel a different tutor would be a better match for any reason, you are completely free to change tutors at any time. You are never locked into working with just one instructor on Turkish Mate.
Our platform is designed with flexibility in mind, empowering you to find the learning environment that helps you thrive.
How to Change Tutors
Switching tutors is straightforward:
- Simply stop booking new lessons with the tutor you wish to leave. There's no formal "break-up" process needed.
- Go back to the Find Tutors page.
- Use the search filters again to explore other tutors who meet your criteria (teaching style focus, availability, price, etc.).
- Review the profiles of potential new tutors carefully (Bio, Resume, Video, Reviews).
- We recommend booking a short 15-minute or 30-minute lesson with a new tutor first to ensure they are a good fit before committing to longer sessions.
- Once you find someone you like, continue booking lessons with them!
Key Point: Yes, changing tutors is easy and encouraged if needed. While communication with your current tutor is a good first step, you always have the freedom to explore and book lessons with other tutors until you find the perfect match for your Turkish learning journey.
