Liked and subscribed. I am a newbie tutor, no student yet. I am so inspired by your experience. I would like to ask about the lesson materials you are using during your class.
Hi Khatie, thank you for your comment. :-) I am using google drive tools and interactive white boards, for material i reviewed a couple of options --> my criteria were: certified and in alignment with TELC (a bit like the German TOEFL), sources that are widely available - so also my students in e.g. China could purchase it & finally sources that have a good online integration (some of the publishers for example set up online courses on moodle following the text book) // in addition to that I also have a couple of websites with exercises (to practise intonation --> for anything a book cannot really teach) Good luck on your teaching journey and hope this is helpful
I tutor on cambly at the moment the pay is very low. I didn't sign up to preply because I was worried that I would go through alot of students before being able to find one that would want to pay for a second lesson. How many people do you meet before you finaly get a second lesson with a paying student? Thanks for the video im considering moving to preply.
Hi Tyronne, i think the retainment from trial to first lesson is around 80-75%. So it's more often than not the case that students stay after the trial lesson. Mostly the reason the 25% don't stay is because of conflicts in schedule --> therefore make sure to discuss this with your student ideally before the lesson - so you both know if there is a regular time you can both meet. See it as much as an investment of your time as also their time.
I had a really bad experience on Preply - it's not worth it. The conversion rate from trial lessons is maybe 40%. There are so many time wasters on there. I earnt about $1.5 per hour because of this. I have been teaching for over 12 years. Ridiculous.
@@THOMAS_MHDS hi thomas, i think making this a general statement "its not worth it" is missing the point. In this channel i am trying to unpick a little bit more specifically what works and what doesnt, but always keep in mind what approach people take, so the outcome can vary greatly! its not a one-fits-all-model as it is made out to be. as a quick guide for improvement on retention rate stats; I suggest, reviewing your trial lesson content and also asking for feedback from students who did not book lessons after their trial, so you can understand what to do better. Also if students dont use their personal name or upload a profile pic (i normally ask them to do that before the first lesson) and dont respond to my filter inquiry until the morning of the first lesson, i give them a second chance and reschedule for a week later. If they still dont reply by then, i report the case.
Very Helpful and Positive Video for someone intending to start Teaching on Preply and What I Learned from your video is Consistency is the Key to Success.I Would love to take further guidance from Your experience

Hi JNK! Thank you for this honest video. Does the platform have video call tools or provide teaching materials? I am a teacher myself and work online via Zoom with my own books. Do they allow this?
Great video, I'd like to apply for it, I speak Italian as native, Serbian and English as second language. Is it possible to apply for a tutor for different languages (like English to Italian, Italian to Serbisn), with different prices?
Hi danke für das video Kannst du allf ein video machen wie du gestartet hast und die ersten kunden /Studenten anvisiert Zudem hast du einen "teaching background und wenn nicht wie hast du die didaktischen Methoden gelernt?
Hi Yasin, it depends a little bit on your customer target group. Are you talking about teaching materials for adult learners DE? Are you talking about Germany, Austria, Switzerland? What is the linguistic background of your customer group? I would differentiate between teaching resources depending whether your students first language is also based on the Roman alphabet, or not. Do you get me? This comes back to being very clear first who your target group is.
Hey love hope you see my comment and reply They still don't reply about about my request i application with them 16-2 but sill on review what what should I do
Hi, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if it would be ok teaching Arabic in English language on Reply?? I hope that you answer as quick as you can. Thank you so much
Hi sorry for the very late reply, i think with Arabic you would have less competition than say English ... and why not! Go for it. I am sure there are many students out there wanting to brush up on their Arabic. All the best for your tutoring journey. Send me an update on how it all goes. Lots of love.
Hi, can you please answer me a few questions? First of all, do you live in Germany? How do you pay taxes? If you are a tutor in Germany, you have to pay about 15% for health and nursing insurance (Kranken- & Pflegeversicherung) on your gross income, so also on Preply's commission! In addition, as a tutor, you are required to pay pension insurance (Rentenversicherung), extra 18% of your GROSS income! If you earn more than 22K per year, you also have to pay VAT etc. It looks like more than half of your income should go to taxes and insurance?! I need your help because I'm also a tutor, moving to Germany next year and I'm really worried about it! Can you please make a video about how to pay taxes? Or send me a message? Thank you so much in advance!
Hi there. thanks for sharing these helpful information. i'm not a native english speaker and i'm not talking like natives. i'm planning to start teaching on preply. one of my friends suggested me to start teaching persian(FARSI), that is our native language. i'm confusing which one to choose! i'm thinking about starting to teach persian. it's my mother tongue and i studied dramatic literature and i'm good in this language. what's your opinion? THANK U 🌹
BTW i don't think i have a chance to work and improve among so many english native speakers on preply! i will be happy to hear your opinion about this subject Thanks a lot 🌹
Dear Denise, you can find all explanations on Preply's commission model here: help.preply.com/en/articles/4171383-preply-commission-model - when you set your price take into account the commission percentage that will be deducted from your income. I set my price in the way that I treat the commission percentage as a cost occured and do not calculate it as my net income.
Thanks for pointing that out. You can find out about the Preply commission model here: help.preply.com/en/articles/4171348-when-and-how-will-i-get-paid-for-lessons - most certainly I said to make sure that your price calculation is such that the commission is charged ON TOP of what you would usually charge for an hour of teaching. Preply has an interest in keeping prices low and hence invites tutors to engage in a price competition with each other. Based on any economic research, price competition means all teachers will face a smaller revenue margin. Hence don't be afraid to differentiate by your teaching style and approach rather than thinking the lowest price will attract the biggest number of students. Online teaching is a great new way of learning so you WILL find students, no matter what price you charge, as long as you have engaging content that holds relevance to your target audience.
Hi @mjsmith8427 there really isnt a clear guideline to follow. It depends a lot on availability, teaching niche and loads of other factors. Recently Preply introduced automated pricing which means that if your rate is set lower than the demand, they automatically up it. I would heavily encourage any tutor to take advantage of this tool. Other than that look at tutors offering a similar service to you for price reference. But i dare you to go higher if you are confident in what you are doing and you have the skills and credibility. One main motivation for making this video was because i saw too many tutors underselling.
You find it difficult to understand why someone would continue to learn English for 3 years? What are you trying to say? By the way you mean "That student has been learning English for 3 years?"
Dear Lime, that depends very much on your target group. Try to think in the way your target group structures their day and language learning as part of it and where they are predominantly based (timezone wise) ... that will be the times you want to be aiming for. (Example: a lot of adults with regular work hours and children might prefer an early weekend slot to learn) However I recommend opening up your schedule widely first to understand if there are other target groups that you perhaps hadn't considered and then after a while the patterns start to build so you get a bit more insight. Hope that makes sense to you. Good luck :-)
Hi Robert, genuinely i think it good if your tutor has a basic grasp of your mother tongue so they can cater towards your specific needs and explain grammar better referencing differences and similarities between two languages. That being said, you might also bond with a tutor who understands your learning style, or simply has hobbies in common with you. As long as there is something in the tuteee-tutor relationship that motivates you to come to class every week .. thats the golden nugget to select a tutor by. let me know how you get on x
@jnk740 so like you know when you first sign up and join the platform as a tutor, preply showcases//advertises//puts your your profile infront of new students, the longer you're on preply does preply not advertise your profile to new students ? Because I used to get alot more messages from potential students when I first started compared to 3 /4 months of being on the platform
@@msrita in my experience of having been on the platform for 4 years, there is no such thing as adertising new tutors over older ones.

Hi Bradley personally I have only taught on Preply. There are other tutors who apparently work on several platforms - but personally i prefer to stick to one as it helps me have more clarity on my schedule and to avoid double bookings. No experience with Comply but hope you test it out and tell us about it :-)
@@jnk740 Hey thanks for replying g back. Do you have to have a background of being an English teacher? I don’t have any experience. The only thing I have is speaking English haha.
@@bradley7118 Hi Bradley, I don't think you necessarily need teaching experience when you start out. I treated it as "learning on the job" just make sure you read and research a lot. About 4 months in after I had started with the teaching I actually enrolled in a course for online tutors and teachers which was quite helpful.
Hey @merryel3683 thats a super valid question. thank you for asking. i will make sure to find time to make a specific video based on it. in essence first step would be to figure out how much income you can earn as self employed tax free in your country. then trial lessons and your time investment for three month in teaching. after that have an evaluation if you want to stay under the tax free income bracket or if you would actually make a profit going above. In my case i have made more money than the tax free bracket every year and once i knew that i had approximately 1k of taxes to return, i upped my prices to reflect that. I would also strongly advise you to work with an accountant if you go fulltime to make sure you can claim back any business expenses. I have always done lots of extra tutor training courses for example and certificates as that was something that benefitted my career but was also something that i could deduct taxes from.
I feel there should be harsher punishment for tutors who cancel the class just 5 minutes before class, as students loose money other way around.(I've clocked 50+ hours in preply as student)
Congrats to your perseverance as a student Teja! Sounds like you must have come far with your learning. I agree with you on the fact that teachers need to take responsibility also. I think that healthy price setting plays a crucial role here on both sides. If a tutor tries to be too competitive and sets their price knowingly below their own reservation price - they will and cannot be happily committed to teaching. When you are truly happy with the price you get paid per hour as tutor - I am sure you will 100% show up. Same goes for student commitments. In a way the price you pay reflects quality and commitment i would say.
@@NadPad92 hi Nad, this can be a very disappointing experience. I think it is important to be clear and firm about expectations and to agree with every student on your personal cancellation policy during the first trial lesson. For example, you could set 10 min aside at the end, to go through all policies and legal stuff to make sure you are on the same page. Preply has some protection for tutors around this issue here: help.preply.com/en/articles/4178953-cancellation-policy
