How does Preply work? 
Get fluent in three simple steps, with expert tutors, personalized lessons, and real progress you can measure.

Find your tutor. 
Connect with a tutor who matches your goals, learning style, and schedule. Choose someone who fits how and when you want to learn.
 
Watch tutor intro videos and read verified reviews to help you find the right fit. You can switch tutors anytime.

Start learning.

Your tutor will tailor every lesson to your learning goals, so progress feels personal from the very beginning.

Keep making progress.

Learning doesn’t stop when the lesson ends. Keep building confidence with AI tools that help you practice and progress outside the classroom, too.

This app is helping me connect with people all around the world. And it’s a very honest app and company. Very seamless and well-working tech and app interfaces. Tutors are mostly great. Prices are low. Efficiency is high. Knowledge is even higher.

Among the language apps I've used, Preply always has me come back! The app is very straightforward, simple and user friendly. The amount of tutors and their quality are impressive! Love it!

Amazing. Finally! If I had found this app a year ago I'd be fully fluent now. The amount I've progressed in just the last month is like combining my progress of the last 2 years into a single month. I'm excited. I wake up having dreamt in Spanish and I can read and understand and fumble out sentences and even jokes that make my husband and our friends laugh sometimes. Finally! I can't wait to see what another month or 3 or 6 will bring.

This is a very good site for finding tutors for the languages you need. There are also a lot of great search categories, such as the maximum price of the tutor, the origin of the tutor himself (which country he is from), as well as very quick help in case you have any questions.

FAQs on how Preply works.

Yes, absolutely! Our platform provides an extensive selection of experienced tutors, each with expertise in working with beginners and learners across all levels.

Find a tutor by using the filters on our search page. These allow you to browse tutors who match your preferences, including factors like price, availability, and qualifications.

Trials are 25 or 50-min live lessons that let you meet a tutor to decide if you’d like to continue learning with them. Most tutors use these lessons to clarify your goals and give you a taste of their teaching style.

If you like your tutor, you’ll choose a subscription plan based on how many hours you’d like to study each week. Our flexible subscriptions can be paused, canceled or updated at any time.

If your trial lesson doesn't live up to your expectations, no problem at all! You can switch to another tutor for free or opt for a full refund – it's all about making sure you're happy with your learning experience.

Preply offers a flexible subscription designed to help you make steady, lasting progress through regular learning with your tutor. After your trial lesson, you can choose a subscription plan based on how many lessons you would like to take each week, creating a personalised learning routine that fits your goals and schedule. You pay for your classes with a recurring payment every 28 days, which secures your weekly lesson slots and keeps your progress consistent. Your plan is not fixed, so you can adjust your lesson frequency as your needs change, making it easy to stay committed and build lasting fluency over time.

You can choose subscriptions between 1 hour/week to 5 hours/week. We recommend that you discuss with your tutor on their availability before selecting your subscription

You can postpone your subscription renewal date and take any remaining lessons, as long as the tutor has availability to book the lessons. However, if you have unscheduled hours on your balance when your subscription renews, 1 week of your monthly hours will be carried forward into the next payment period.

You will be able to cancel the lesson for free up to 12 hours before the scheduled time. After this time, only full cost cancellation option is available. Plan your schedule with confidence, knowing you have the flexibility you need.

The name "Preply" is a mash-up, with "PREP-" representing preparation and "-LY" symbolizing speaking confidently. Therefore, the overall meaning is "Prepare to speak confidently.
