Overview
Preply is a global tutoring marketplace where educators teach paid one-on-one online lessons in languages, school and university subjects, hobbies, and art (100+ subjects). It's free to create a tutor profile; Preply only charges commission on lessons taught. The trial lesson with a new student is 100% commission, then subsequent lessons start at 33% and decrease to 18% as you accumulate teaching hours — so long-term students become more profitable over time. You set your own hourly rate (English tutors average $15-25/hour) and choose your own schedule with no minimum commitment. To join, you build a profile with a headshot, written strengths, and a short video intro; Preply's Tutor Success team reviews it within 5 business days, after which students from around the world can book you.
💡 Insider tip
The tiered commission rewards retention — the more hours you teach a given student, the lower Preply's cut (33% down to 18%). A strong 2-minute video intro is the biggest factor in landing your first bookings. New tutors are advised to start with a lower hourly rate to attract first students faster, then raise it.
