Keep working on the move

Preply is a great way to keep on working for people that move around a lot. Like right now, for instance, I have to unexpectedly move from my country of residence because of a war that's happening in Eastern Europe. As long as I can carry my laptop with me, I can work from wherever I am. All I have to do is update my time zone and the Preply scheduling tool adjusts my lessons accordingly. No need to count hours backward or forward; easy breezy. The online classrooms that my students and I use are also stored online, so even if I can't carry my own laptop with me, I can just log in on my phone and start working again (though that's not ideal).

That, for me, is the biggest plus of using Preply; the flexibility. And, of course, the lovely people you meet from around the world. I have been using the platform for almost two years now. And other than some minor tweaks I would like to see, I'm very positive.

Preply

I began teaching on Preply in 2019 and have not looked back since. I teach English with a specialization in workplace communication and intercultural skills. While building up my business, I used the time to attend the webinars and training courses that Preply offers. This was an excellent way to feel confident about the tools that they offer (Video platform, whiteboard, vocabulary tool, comprehensive lesson curriculum, tests and quizzes, etc) before using them in the lessons. I am a working mother so love the flexibility Preply offers, I can set my own schedule and pricing. I teach when I want to who I want and what I want.

What was your funniest moment?
The funniest moment I had was teaching a rather earnest student about video conferencing and the importance of being focused and eliminating distractions when my dog came up behind me and put her paw on my shoulder and started into the camera. My student appreciated the irony!

Love Preply, and my tutor

I used to think that I didn’t have the “language gene”. That I was too old. That I simply didn’t have time to learn a language. I now know all of these are false… thanks to Preply and my tutors. The platform has taken me from 'Hola' (and that's literally all I could say, although I live in Spain) to speak to everybody in Spanish, about everything! My tutor has built my confidence so much, and the resources that Preply develops continue to help me improve in my own time. A wonderful, simple, easy experience led by an expert team.

Excellent experience!

Preply is an excellent site for language learning!! It allows you to browse, explore and choose a tutor among a huge selection and variety, ensuring a perfect fit to all of your needs. It also provides a great online platform with tons of materials, in class note taking to keep track of my progress and conversation pointers.
I highly recommend Preply to everyone that’s interested in an effective way to learn a new language or just to practice and improve upon the conversational skills. Excellent experience.

A great way to interact with students

I started teaching Italian on Preply 2 years ago and it has been a good way to find students that I wouldn't have been able to get on my own.
Now I teach Italian to an Argentinian based in Buenos Aires and to some Spaniards based both in Madrid and Sevilla. I love the fact that I can set my own price and choose when I can teach.
I'd definitely suggest Preply and online teaching, but teachers please pay attention to the first lesson: the platform charges 100% of the first lesson, so make sure to generate engagement and loyalty with your student and you will gain money with time. The more you teach to a student the lower the %. Lastly, I also suggest participating to some of their free webinars arranged for tutors to get the most out of the platform.

What would you improve about this program?
I would improve the way information about tutors is displayed.

The best website to teach English!

Teaching on Preply is honestly one of the most rewarding experiences. Apart from the amazing support received by the team itself, it really is so easy to build your schedule, start getting new students and become your own boss!

I love being a part of Preply. Communication with the tutors is great, and the relationship they build with the students as a website makes the students want to stick around for longer, which is so important.

I know they are growing really fast and constantly improving their service, so now is really the time to join!

Wonderful experience tutoring on Preply

Preply is a great platform to tutor students all over the world from wherever you are. As long as you have your device and a stable internet connection, you can continue giving your classes while you travel. I use the free resources to support my English tutoring, which really cuts down on my planning time and helps students have structure while they are learning. I've met interesting people from all over the world and it's wonderful to help them improve their English. I highly recommend Preply for tutoring English while you are travelling around the world!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
It's a really good idea to go through the training videos and webinars - they are free and they give you loads of tips and tricks about how to use the platform and how to improve your professional skills.

Preply is easy to use and great for language learning!

Language learning can sometimes be a little intimidating and also the industry is quite packed with tons of options, so it's hard to choose which one. I like Duolingo for quick, fun ways to learn a couple new words/sayings, but for really learning a language, you have to speak it. And with Preply, they have the most global tutors to choose from and hands down the easiest language learning platform to use. You can literally sign up, choose your tutor, and schedule your class in less than 5 minutes! 5 stars and I will keep using Preply for the future! - Andrew

Preply

Preply is a fantastic platform for online tutoring with lots of features that are available to enhance the teaching process (e.g. interactive whiteboard, flashcards, lesson notes, etc). The platform also offers a wide range of professional development opportunities for their tutors (free webinars and self-study courses that touch upon different topics around tutoring). Since you are not bound to any geographical place, you can use Preply to teach and earn money wherever you are in the world and whatever subject you are an expert in (languages, coding, music, etc)

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you are working on Preply as a traveller tutor, make sure you join the Facebook community and reach out to other tutors for help. Working online can be lonely at times but don't forget, Preply has a strong community of tutors who and tutor development managers, who are happy to help you!

Being a Preply Teacher

I have been teaching the Korean language on the platform for more than 1 year so far. I can teach whenever, wherever I want. So it has been such a huge advantage during the Covid19 pandemic. Now I can go out and work, but I'm sticking with teaching online because it gives me a stress-free lifestyle. I don't have to struggle with traffic jams, don't have to bring a lunchbox to work, and so on. I'm enjoying my work at home safe and comfortable. (Sometimes I can teach while I'm traveling. I only need my laptop and good Wi-Fi.)

The platform is perfect for teaching. I know they put lots of effort into making the 'Classroom' is easy and convenient for both teachers and students. There are lots of Korean language learners on this platform, so I don't have to waste my time promoting myself everywhere.

I always wanted to be a Korean Teacher. But didn't have a chance, and didn't know where to start. On this website, you can start right away. No one will stop you. And even you are working full-time, still you can do it. Just set some time aside for this. Don't have to give up your main job. And this experience will be the starting point of your carrier as a Teacher.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I should've started my online teaching job earlier.
