Preply

What Preply is

Preply is a paid marketplace for personalized one-to-one learning with human tutors and AI support. Tutors teach more than 90 languages in 180 countries, and the subject range also includes school and university subjects, hobbies, and art. Learners can filter tutors by native language or accent, price, availability, and specialization. Trial lessons last 25 or 50 minutes and take place in the virtual classroom. Preply Classroom includes video, chat, screen sharing, an interactive whiteboard, and flashcards. Its AI Teaching assistant creates personalized exercises and speaking prompts, while Lesson Insights provides feedback and a post-lesson summary. Android, iOS, and web access support lessons, practice, progress tracking, and tutor chat. Tutor subscriptions are billed every 28 days, with pricing based on the selected tutor and lesson amount. Unused lessons generally expire at the end of each billing cycle. Support is available 24/7 by live chat and email, but not by phone or video.

Who it suits

Preply suits learners seeking individual instruction in languages, academic subjects, hobbies, or art. Companies can use its separate Preply Business program, while learners can choose tutors by schedule, price, accent, or specialization.

Limits
