Preply

Preply is a comprehensive online tutoring marketplace designed to help learners study languages (and other subjects) with real human tutors, from anywhere and at any time. Learners begin by browsing tutor profiles, which include intro videos, reviews, availability, and hourly rates — allowing users to pick a tutor that fits their budget, schedule, learning goals, and language preferences.

Once you choose a tutor, you can book a trial lesson (usually 25 or 50 minutes) to see if the tutor’s teaching style and approach suit you. After the trial, you can subscribe to a regular plan — deciding how many lessons per week or month you want — giving you flexibility to learn as intensively or casually as you prefer.

Lessons take place in Preply’s own virtual classroom: a built-in video + chat + whiteboard environment that removes the need for external video tools. Homework, lesson notes, vocabulary exercises, and resources are all stored centrally — helping you keep track of your progress and practice between sessions.

Preply supports a huge range of languages and subjects, taught by tutors from many nationalities — giving learners access to native speakers, specialized instructors, and a broad choice tailored to their needs.

More recently (as of 2025), Preply has added new AI-powered learning tools to enhance the learner experience: tools like “Lesson Insights,” “Daily Exercises,” and “Scenario Practice” help reinforce learning between lessons, provide personalized feedback, and support vocabulary and speaking practice — blending human tutoring with technology to help learners progress faster.

Overall, Preply as a learner-friendly platform combines flexibility, personalization, and professional tutoring to support learners of different backgrounds — whether beginners or advanced — in improving languages or other skills with structured, personalized guidance.
