What It Is
You create a profile on Preply and teach students online by video call. You can tutor languages, conversational skills, beginner maths or other subjects you know well, and set your own hourly rate.
The Pitch
Diamond says many tutors charge $15 to $30 an hour and that Preply is approachable because it lets people from many backgrounds offer lessons without being certified teachers.
Who It’s Best For
Patient, friendly people who are fluent in a language or confident in a subject.
The Truth (as we see it)
Preply takes a large commission, especially on your first lessons with each new student, and new tutors often have to start cheap to win reviews. Bookings can be slow at first. Her rates come from her research, not her own tutoring.
