Preply

Preply is a language tutoring marketplace that connects learners with 32,000+ verified human tutors for personalized, 1-on-1 language instruction. AI enhances the platform: it matches learners with optimal tutors, tracks learning progress, and helps tutors create customized lesson plans.

AI Tutor Matching

Preply's matching algorithm analyzes learner goals, current level, learning style preferences, scheduling constraints, and budget — then surfaces the best-fit tutors from its network. Tutor profiles include video introductions, credentials, teaching methodology, and hundreds of student reviews.

The system prioritizes outcome-relevant factors: a learner preparing for a job interview in Spanish needs a different tutor than someone wanting casual conversational practice or preparing for the DELE exam.

50+ Languages

Preply covers 50+ languages. Most widely studied: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Uncommon languages (Catalan, Swahili, Persian, Greek, Turkish) are also available with verified native speakers.

Structured Progress Tracking

Preply's dashboard tracks lessons completed, vocabulary studied, pronunciation improvements, and goal progress. AI generates a learning trajectory and flags when the pace is on or off track for stated goals.

Business English and Certification Prep

Popular use cases: Business English for corporate professionals, exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, DELF, HSK), and academic language requirements. Tutors specialize by these goals, and the matching system surfaces specialists.

Group Classes

In addition to 1-on-1 tutoring, Preply offers group classes for cost-effective practice. Group sessions at fixed times, typically $10-$15 per class.

Pricing

Tutors set their own rates: $5-$150/hour. Average is approximately $15-$25/hour for most popular languages. Subscription plans bundle lesson credits at a discount.
