About Preply

Preply is a large marketplace for one-to-one online tutoring, best known for languages, especially English, though it covers more than a hundred subjects. Learners filter tutors by price, availability, native language and specialities, take a trial lesson, and then usually subscribe to a weekly number of lessons with that tutor, which suits steady progress but is less flexible than paying per lesson. Lessons run in Preply's own video classroom with shared materials and progress tracking, and there is a business programme for company language training. Tutors set their own rates, so prices range widely, and Preply takes a commission. As with any marketplace, quality varies and finding the right tutor can take a few tries. It runs on the web and in iOS and Android apps. Preply suits learners who want a regular weekly tutor and the motivation of a set schedule.

Best for: Learners who want a regular weekly tutor and a structured schedule.
