Browsing Tutors

Head to the Find Tutors page to see all available tutors. Each tutor card shows you the key details at a glance — their name, languages, rating, and price per lesson.

You can browse freely without creating an account. Once you find someone you like, you'll sign up to book.

Filtering Your Search

Use the filters to narrow down your results:

  • Language — Choose the language you want to learn
  • Price range — Set your budget per lesson
  • Availability — Find tutors who match your schedule
  • Native speaker — Filter for native-speaking tutors only

Combine multiple filters to find the ideal match. The more specific you are, the better your results.

What to Look For

Profile Video

Many tutors upload a short intro video. This is the best way to get a feel for their personality and teaching style before booking. Watch a few to compare.

Reviews and Ratings

Check what other students have said. Look for tutors with consistent positive feedback, especially from students with similar goals to yours.

Teaching Style

Read the tutor's bio carefully. Some tutors focus on structured grammar lessons, while others prefer casual conversation practice. Choose the style that suits you.

Languages Spoken

If you're a beginner, you might prefer a tutor who also speaks your native language. Advanced learners often benefit from full immersion with a native speaker.

Availability

Check that the tutor has times that work with your schedule. All times are shown in your local timezone, so there's no maths involved.

Viewing a Tutor's Profile

Click on any tutor card to see their full profile. Here you'll find:

  • Detailed bio about their background and approach
  • Languages taught with proficiency levels
  • Services offered with prices and durations
  • Student reviews and overall rating
  • Intro video (if uploaded)
  • Available time slots for booking

Trial Lessons

Many tutors offer a discounted trial lesson — usually shorter and cheaper than a regular session. This is a great way to test the waters without committing to a full-price lesson.

Look for services labelled "Trial" or "Introduction" on the tutor's profile.

Tips for Choosing

  1. Watch the intro video — It tells you more than a bio ever could
  2. Read recent reviews — Look for patterns, not just individual comments
  3. Book a trial first — Don't commit to a package until you've tried a lesson
  4. Check response time — Active tutors typically respond within a few hours
  5. Consider your goals — Exam prep needs a different tutor than casual conversation
