I don't speak Japanese at all. Can I still register?

Sure, please go ahead. Most of the Japanese students are looking for teachers who can help them brush up their conversation skills so you can talk to them in the language you are teaching.

Can I get a visa from hello-sensei.com?

No. We offer only the online teacher-student matching service that gives you the opportunity to find students.

A student just contacted me for a trial lesson but I'm currently unavailable for lessons. Should I still respond to the student?

Yes, please tell the student that you are currently unavailable for lessons. Please also make the status of your teaching profile "unpublished" on the top of the Edit Profile section of your account page until you can start offering lessons again.

I have set the status of my teaching profile to "unpublished" but students still keep sending me e-mails. Why?

Probably the students requested your contact information before you set it to "unpublished". Sometimes this occurs when the students don't contact the teachers immediately after they receive the teacher's contact information.
