I'm sure you didn't mean to, but I'm afraid you picked a rather racist title for your website.

Also, how are "studens" who are learning English supposed to navigate your site?

But yea, good luck with this.

Ironically enough, the site may have been made by a Japanese person. Perhaps this is their subtle attempt to take ownership of the word.

Anyhow it is a piss-poor site, there are so many others that are put together way better.

I thought it was a joke at first and couldn' take it seriously. I was thinking on similar lines haha.

After thinking about it, though, I'm not sure a Japanese person made it... I'm very curious how they expect students to come to this website if it's not written in Japanese. If there were a Japanese version, Japanese people could come to it and register and look through profiles of teachers who signed up using the English version. Isn't this how these kinds of things usually work? Did I miss the 日本語 button somewhere?

Steven,
Thank you for your comment. It's not intentionnal, i didn't want to choose a rascist name for our website. Maybe it would be better to change it.

At the top of the website, you can choose Japanese, English, or French. I guess you didn't see the flags ～

And concerning competitive sites, all of them are extremely expensive.. This is a huge difference with our site. Our service is free.

RickOShay,
Thank you for your so developped comment... how can you criticize without seeing ? First, register to our website, try our ajax system, and if you think our system is, as you said, piss-poor, please let me know. I used to find my students on sites like findateacher few years ago but I was extremely disappointed by the system itself, which was very hard to administrate. That's why I decided to create a system based on existing systems, but with a better interface.

Have a nice day
