Excellent site
I have taken nearly 90 Spanish lessons through Verbling. This is an excellent site to find quality teachers at various price points. i would offer 2 suggestions that could improve the site. One is to show a statistic with the number of lessons a teacher has taught in the last month, or over the last several months. This would help students see which teachers are active and which are not. The second suggestion is to put new teachers in an inactive or different category if they don't find students quickly - rather than drop them from the site. I have seen new teachers drop off the site quickly - presumably because they set their price too high - and I couldn't try a lesson with such a teacher. I saw two extremely successful teachers from another site list on Verbling but drop off quickly as well, possibly because they priced too high initially, before they gained a following.
