Preply
An app that helps you find a tutor for live 1-on-1 lessons.
What Preply does
Preply is a tutor marketplace. You filter tutors by language, budget, specialty and schedule, try a lesson, then keep learning with the tutor you like in live one-on-one video lessons. It offers more than 90 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic.
Tutors post a video or written intro, so you get a feel for them before you book. Once you find someone you click with, you schedule regular lessons at times that suit you and keep everything in the app.
Each tutor sets their own rate, so prices range widely. You pay for a trial lesson when you book it. After that you subscribe to a tutor: Preply charges for 28 days of lessons at checkout and renews automatically every 28 days, so read the terms before you commit.
Preply suits you if you want a steady teacher and a regular schedule, whether it's for work English, a move abroad or finally speaking your family's language. For casual one-off sessions, a pay-per-lesson marketplace may feel more flexible.
