Preply English Group Classes - Let’s get you talking with group classes

I can't believe that this product has received 5/5 stars. It's a scam for teachers. I'm writing from the perspective of someone who has taught on this platform in the past. First, let's talk commission rate. 33% + the first lesson is free. I charge $30 USD/hour for English lessons, where the pricing reflects the preparation effort and quality of lessons I create for advanced learners. One student saw me twice and paid 60 USD, of which I only saw 22.50 USD. In case you're wondering, I only got paid 37.5% of what my student paid. No marketplace company charges prices like these. The prices drop but only after 20 hours of lessons with students. Typically, students meet for an hour per week, so that's 5 months of teaching. I'd only get paid 372 USD, while the student pays 600 USD. That's a 42% commission. Secondly, Preply outsources its customer service, so the quality is extremely low. Every time I interact with customer service, I'm treated as if I'm a criminal. If have a problem and I don't have 'proof', I must be lying. This atmosphere creates an extremely low trust environment for both students and teachers. Third, students get unlimited trial lessons. For example, I spent 3 hours on new students last week. Since they are trial lessons, I don't get paid. I had a few amazing lessons, however, they don't stick around. Why? Because why pay for lessons with a teacher you liked when you can get an unlimited supply of lessons with a new teacher for free? The price for such a model is always paid for by the teachers. I really hope that there are some strict labor laws in Ukraine because the way teachers are being treated on Preply is just immoral.

I've been waiting for this feature for a long time.

Cool! Congrats!

always wanted smth like that 😍

This is what I need to learn English.

wow! looks amazing)

Great product! Good luck in scaling.

Great idea. Good luck!

This is awesome! I've been learning with the platform for the past three years. It definitely will add more engagement during the lesson and learn from other learners as well! Super excited to try! Kudos to @elvis_obanya1 and the team!

Great progression of the product! A lot of research out there currently advocates for the benefits of learning together in addition to individual study (e.g. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fullte... ). Excited to see this develop.
