I payed lessons but then stopped to learn with preply. They deleted my account but didnt refund my payed without me contacting them. The support answered fast so okay, but I dont like that they disable accounts and dont refund the lessons you didnt use.
I have subscribed for preply around 2 months ago. And during all this time I had experienced nothing but technical problems:1. Ive applied for regular weekly lessons with a teacher, and expected them to auto-schedule each week. But it didnt happen. And the teacher with whom we agreed to have a lesson next Monday, contacted me and asked why I didnt schedule my lesson for the next Monday. After that we scheduled all the lessons manually.2. In 50% of cases I couldnt login into my account on Preply before the lesson, so we were forced to move to Skype to conduct the lessons. And the first time when it happened, it took around 15min of 1 hour lesson to figure out how to connect to the teacher if the platform doesnt work.3. Finally, 2 months later, when I actually stopped taking the lessons, though still had some money on my account, the platform unexpectedly autoscheduled those Monday lessons that it didnt schedule 2 month ago. As I was on vacation at that time, I even didnt know that some lessons are scheduled on my behalf, and thus I lost around 50EUR on the lessons I didnt have.4. When I wrote to support to complain and get my money back, they wrote to me that it was me who autoscheduled the lessons, so they will not return my money.I am really disappointed with the platform and will stop using it as soon as I spend all the money left on my account.
Disgusting service. We had a number of prepaid lessons in total value ~700$. As for now, our account is blocked our lessons are not available for us and the fund has not been returned.
The benefits of working for Preply have paid off over time. I can say that if you dedicate yourself to this platform as a student or a teacher, they will help you achieve what you want. Preplys ability to provide quality teachers with students and students with quality teachers is pretty amazing. If you want to get rich quick, this is not the place to be. Its a long term investment that will payout around a thousand dollars a week after about 2 or 3 months of dedicated work and good attendance. If you are a student, there really isnt a better place to try. Better at home then in a building, and better you schedule your own classes. Preply deserves 5 stars for their constant improvement and quality control.Amazing 6 out of 5 IMO
Reflects all feelings:Ask yourself one question: Would you work for free?As a teacher on Preply you are required by their terms to deliver your first lesson for free. So lets look at this more closely. Lets say you have 10 new students, all of which pay Preply for the lesson. As it is their first lesson with you, you do not get any money for this. Zero. So you have effectively worked between 5 and 10 hours and not been paid a dime. Nothing. сFurthermore, after your freebie lesson and Preply have made a full days wage off you whilst you earned nothing, they take 33% of your hourly rate per hour taught. I just want to clarify this further:1. Register2. Start getting limited interest from students.3. Deliver a free lesson to every new student.4. 10 new students = 10 hours free unpaid work..5. If student is happy and they rebook you, knock 33% off your rate.6. Be grateful to Preply and leave 5 star fake reviews.Apparently they have 70,000 tutors but Preply Head Office employs around 50 people. Lets do some maths. Lets be generous and underestimate teachers rates. $10 per hour. All first lessons are free. Thats 70,000 x $10 = $700k of which they owe you and give you nothing. Each student of which there are over 100,000 book 5 hour prepaid lessons.100,000 x 5 hours = 500,000 hours (5 is the minimum hours students can book)500,000 x $10 x 33% = $1.6millionThese figures are grossly underestimated but what is even funnier is that you deliver your lessons over SKYPE! They only offer an elegant booking system!!AVOID.
I have had dealings with this lot. They appear to be gaming reviews on various sites such as Trustpilot.Speaking as an expert English teacher with over 20,000 hours experience in my profession, I can only advise teachers to avoid this like the plague.They charge teachers 33% of each lesson fee. So, if you charge 30 dollars for a lesson, they take 10 dollars. For. Every.Lesson. That is a complete ripoff.There is a review below which claims you can earn $1000 per week through preply. Oh really? Lets look at that shall we?Most teachers teach a maximum of 25 hours per week. With that in mind, this guy (below) must be charging $53 dollars an hour, in order to make 1000 bucks and give preply their 33%. I am calling BS on that.Sites that use dodgy reviews to boost their ratings should be removed from review platforms as they destroy the whole point of leaving reviews in the first place.Oh, and their customer support is a joke. Please, save your sanity and avoid.
Ive been working with Preply, as an English, Portuguese and Spanish teacher for more than a year now. All I can say is that Im extremely satisfied with it, the support staff and the easy and safe way to organize classes and get paid for them.
I’ve been working with Preply for a year and I can say it is an efficient platform that connects students and tutors throughout the world. For students it offers a convenient and safe way to find professional teachers and book lessons. For tutors it’s a perfect way to reach to students all over the world and get invaluable experience teaching people from different cultural backgrounds. Preply is constantly developing and expanding its service. It is trying to make it faster, simpler and safer to find an appropriate tutor and get classes. A great team of coordinators and operators is always ready to help you out with your questions and give you an immediate support.I would highly recommend Preply. Don’t hesitate, go for it!
Where can I find your phone number and address?? There is no information on your website about it.
Ive been an English teacher on the Preply platform for about 3 years. Only positive feedback : )
I am really satisfied and would recommend it.
Helpful support and responsible tutors help me to improve my English!
I like it) the commission is quite big, but i am delighted )
Nice to work with Preply, highly recommend this company!
Working with Preply only 5 months i can say that it is a great opportunity to get some experience in your domain(specially if you are a future teacher),to know lot of new and interesting people from all the world and to experience your native/learnt language.I definitely recommend this web to others.The only one thing that i dont like so much is that for the teachers the first lesson is free,and wouldnt be such a big problem in the case if students contract more than 1 lesson,but very often it happens.And in the end you spend one hour,and after you dont get anything.But it is the only one defect(as for me) of Preply.Of the rest im completely satisfied!
It is a great site and awesome team
Amazing platform and great service!
If teachers are not paid on their first lesson, then students deserve a free first lesson!
Perfect service!!!
How can I delete an account after the expiration of time (6 months) without notifying the user?And steal the rest?The customer focus is impressive.Will I use the service again? No!
I am very upset with the amount of commissions that PrePly takes. It is very inconvenient to withdraw money. First, you pay to the service from each order, then you pay a commission upon withdrawal. At the same time, we do not have PayPal. Skrill is completely unclear what. Payoneer is crazy commission.At first I was super happy. As a result, I lost a lot of energy and did not receive the expected reward.
We tried to start twice, paid. Then the teachers changed the time, another on the day of the lesson wrote that he no longer takes students. And they wrote to our child so that he clicked abandon the lesson. The money is returned, but there is a loss of money due to bank transfers back and forth.
Preply - a great platform! You can meet teachers from all over the world. Conducting classes online is very convenient and effective! With one click you can fill out a questionnaire and find the right teacher. If you have problems, you will be quickly provided with help by the platform employees.I recommend to everyone!
Working with Preply is very convenient. A universal payment system provides the convenience of calculating with a student from any country in the world. The system is designed in such a way that neither the student nor the teacher is worried about currency conversion. Likewise, teacher and student. confirming their lessons on the platform, are insured against fraud on the Internet. The feedback system helps the student choose the appropriate teacher, and the teacher makes it possible to correctly assess the degree of their qualifications. Thanks to the Preply team for your cooperation.
Wonderful site. I am a teacher on the preply platform. I really like everything, students from all over the world, it is convenient to withdraw money from the internal account! And still very good tech support, they always respond quickly and in fact)
I, Victoria, a coaches teacher in spoken Italian for accelerated learning, went to preply. The speed and courtesy of the company are in first place all over the world, which is very important for work. Everyone who wants to choose a teacher have the opportunity to choose and try different ones and this is wonderful.
I am a teacher of French and English. I started working with the platform preply a year ago, I wanted to increase the number of regular clients and find students who would like to take Skype, so as not to waste their time moving around the city from one student to another.And for the first month, I had three new students from Poland, Ukraine and the UAE, considering this was a low season.In general, the platform is very cool and functional, I will continue to work here.
Most likely, here teachers spread rot very much, people do not hold on to their places. I was looking for a teacher, no longer, I was there a month ago. Visited the site several times for interest, many new faces. And they write that professionals work for us. Out of the blue, deception. Where working conditions are good, people do not leave. Technical support responds after many hours, no contacts. Incomprehensible office.
Very convenient platform. Friendly interface, good promotion, convenient billing system, safe for both teacher and student, quick support feedback. I found many students thanks to this platform. Thank you!)
Teachers cancel lessons at the very last moment, no refunds.
A great platform for freelance educators. The ability to work with students from different countries. Ease of payment for services and quality service are Preplys big pluses. If you have any questions - an instant response of technical support. I am very pleased with our cooperation. Thanks!
Many students put forward their requests, describe their needs, but when a teacher contacts them, many respond with deathly silence. Sometimes they simply decline without explanation. Everything would be fine, but put yourself in the place of an interested teacher. In general, it is a good platform and really helps to find suitable students.
Great portal for finding students.Enjoy the opportunity to set your own schedule, learn with pleasure and pleasure :)For all who are willing to work and willing to share their knowledge - advise!
It is a pity that it requires a passport photo and passport data, but this is unacceptable
Finally, Preply hired an adequate manager. I get meaningful answers to my questions. Even without the rudeness (which is extremely impressive), as it was before. It is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Preply for the wonderful manager: Karina Villaverde.
This platform is for those who value their time. Thanks to the Preply team for helping people around the world who want to learn and train, find each other!
I enjoy working with Preply. It is always convenient to find students, but I wanted the commission charged by the site for classes to be a little lower!
On the site I was looking for a Spanish teacher on Skype. I live about six months in Chile, so I have a vocabulary and understanding of the language, lacked literacy. I wanted to find a native speaker teacher from Latin America, since there is still a specificity of Spanish from Spain and from this region. After reviewing the profile of the teacher from Mexico, I decided to sign up for her lesson. The profile indicated that the girl is studying at the university in the relevant specialty and at the same time is teaching English and Spanish to students, both at the university and giving private lessons. I briefly wrote my wishes for the teacher, but when we started the lesson, I realized that she ignored them. Firstly, the Senorita was surprised that I want the lesson to be held “live”, she wanted to conduct it ... attention! .. via chat correspondence! I have never seen such nonsense in my life, although I have a fairly large experience in language classes. When she finally called me, a real circus began. To my request to explain the formation of tenses, she began: “There is a future, present and past,” (just a discovery!), And began to simply give examples of different tenses in the past tense, without structure, in different faces and numbers, what’s what, who He knows ... In general, I was enough for 15 minutes, I finished the lesson. To which the pseudo-teacher said that she can conduct a lesson in chat, she was not used to skype.In general, the conclusion is that it’s better to pay a little more by contacting an online school, where you will have a short free lesson, rather than buying a pig in a poke.As for the 100% money back guarantee - I don’t know yet, for some reason there are doubts. I wrote in support, told them the situation, promised to return, but so far silence.
Convenient platform! Only confusing customers who want to take exams instead of them or with an online solution during the exam is the same.
I am a teacher of Polish and Ukrainian.It is a very convenient platform. Glad to know about it.
With the help of preply found a lot of students. Satisfied with the work of the site.
Very cool, I found a tutor friend and I plan to give lessons myself!
So convenient and relatively inexpensive pulled up a conversation section with TOEFL. I recommend it!
The interface is intuitively incomprehensible and buggy. Uncomfortable to anyone - neither teachers nor students. For example, how to edit your application, how the student will have to guess. Filters generally work according to some mysterious logic of their own - they produce a completely irrelevant sample (for example, by city district in which the tutor works), again it is not clear how sorted. The amount in the application, as well as in the tutors questionnaire - may change spontaneously - I suspect that they wanted to do an automatic currency conversion, but it turned out horrible. The tutor does not see the text of the student’s application to which he answers - completely until he answers it (generally idiocy), i.e. he stupidly does not know what he is signing up for. And the student naturally constantly encounters the fact that the teachers unsubscribe, and immediately merge after reading the conditions of the application.In short, it’s just nonsense and disgrace, not a product. The idea is good, but the implementation is as usual.
I have been collaborating with the site for two years, I like that support is always fast and the site is constantly being improved
Cool platform. From the first time I found a tutor as a speaker and I’ve been studying for half a year now)
In the address Preply only thanks and compliments. Managers are competent and correct. I found a lot of students. Thank.
Dear Preply! It is very ugly to send out e-mails, the owners of which did not give their consent to this, that is, spam. This does not add to your reputation.
Enter the payment systems available in percentage terms. For example WebMoney. Or payment by payment cards in Ukraine.
The inconvenient thing is that you need to pay for classes without talking to a tutor. But the team is ready to compromise. I hope that I can find a tutor using this system
Im a teacher. I have been working with this platform for several years. There are no complaints, on the contrary - everything is clear, convenient, both for me and the students. I like it, thanks ))
I have been working with Preply for the fifth year now. Everything is very convenient for both the tutor and the student. I hope the company will grow rapidly!
Very fast technical support issues
Very convenient platform! I’ve been using it for two years. I recommend it!
I have been working with the platform for 4 years, I have found many students. Very grateful !!! I recommend to everyone!!!
Cool
The best platform Ive seen!
Great team
