I would like to see discount options, packages, different prices for different topics / levels from the tteacher's side.</p>KirstenWinklerFri, 21 Aug 2009 10:14:21 -0000http://blog.italki.com/2009/08/english-learners-in-china-can-get-italki-and-speakeng-through-alipay/#comment-13954712<p>Hi Giraffe,<br>You're totally right, and we're actively planning a major revision of the tutoring system. We'll definitely be adding the features you've mentioned, as well as many other improvements. Thanks for the feedback. Also, I think we'll try to create an area where it is easier to provide public feedback about italki features. Thanks again --</p>italkiTue, 04 Aug 2009 21:51:40 -0000http://blog.italki.com/2009/08/english-learners-in-china-can-get-italki-and-speakeng-through-alipay/#comment-13832541<p>You would really benefit from streamlining the process to book a tutor. It seems like the system has been designed so that a student will book random one-off sessions with various tutors rather than developing an ongoing relationship. Here are several features that I would like to see implemented: 1) allow me to request an ongoing session each week at a specific time (like marking a recurring event in an online calendar) and 2) when I complete a session and ok payment, show a message that says "Would you like to book the same time for next week? Click here. "</p><p>In the current design, it's like I have to start from scratch every week.</p>GiraffeMon, 03 Aug 2009 08:40:41 -0000
