our interactive tool helps you assess whether switching to a commission-free, all-in-one platform with a broader product suite—like group clubs, digital downloads, and premium 1:1 coaching—could give you more control, better earnings and an improved sense of wellbeing!
teaching 1-on-1 classes on marketplaces like preply and italki often means long hours, low pay, burnout and a lack of control over your online language business.
that said, leaving large online marketplaces does come with some trade-offs, the biggest one being that you’ll need to find your own students.
this can seem daunting at first, especially if you’ve relied on platforms to market your services.
our interactive tool is designed to help you see whether a switch would work for you or if you’d be happiest staying on a marketplace (OR - going really left field and doing a bit of both 😁)
