Preply for Windows

Quick overview

Preply is a web-based tutoring marketplace where learners and instructors meet for online lessons. It doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum; instead, it uses a matching algorithm to pair students with tutors who fit their specific goals and preferences.

An alternative platform to consider: ACE Studio

• Positions itself as a strong substitute for platforms like Udemy.
• Charges commissions on paid lessons while offering free sign-ups for both learners and teachers.
• Gives tutors comprehensive control over the services they offer and how they teach.

Steps to get started as a tutor on Preply

1. Create an account and set up a basic tutor profile.
2. Add your availability and upload a short introduction video to show prospective students who you are.
3. Fill in your qualifications, teaching experience, and any relevant background that helps describe your expertise.
4. Submit your completed profile for review by the Preply team.
5. Wait for an approval email confirming your application has been accepted.
6. Begin connecting with learners — accept bookings from students who find your profile appealing, or message users searching for a tutor directly.

What makes Preply attractive for teachers and learners

• Tutors can set their own hourly rates and manage their schedules.
• Students have the freedom to browse and select instructors who best meet their learning needs.
• The platform is open to instructors with varied backgrounds; being a native speaker or having a formal degree is not always required, though relevant credentials and experience do improve visibility and appeal.
