It's either free or it is not. You should be clear. You can say that you have a free trial lesson to see whether you like my method or style.

Put it more simple, it is language exchange, clear ?free of charge, but need service exchange . And I have lots of teaching experience.

I don't arrange the student's visa

@annia
It's still not clear.
If it's a language exchange then it is still NOT FREE. An 'exchange' means that you are 'trading' something for something therefore it's NOT FREE. You are getting something and the other person is getting something.

Don't use the word 'free' at all because what YOU want is not free.

I was pointing out this:
"but need service exchange"
So my point is and was that it's NOT FREE.
The 'need' is why I wanted to point out that's it's not free.

This will be my last response to this point I've made. Have a nice day! Ha.Ha.

You guys need to chill. You're all jumping on her for a little miscommunication that we can all easily understand. What's the point?

In fairness, Annia did say 'free of charge'. She is not a native speaker, and the miscommunication was soon cleared up. I personally, don't think it was designed to deceive, and I don't think anyone is naive enough to think it was absolutely free (without any obligation).
