Preply: one-to-one online tutors for languages and maths

Shopping at Preply? See all current Preply discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Preply is an online tutoring marketplace. You browse tutor profiles, book a trial lesson, and then learn one to one over video in Preply's virtual classroom or app. Languages are the main draw, with more than 47,000 English tutors listed alone, but you can also find tutors for maths and other subjects. Each tutor sets their own price, so you can filter by budget, schedule, focus area, country of birth and the languages they speak. It suits adults brushing up a language for work or travel, students preparing for exams, and parents looking for a maths tutor.

Every tutor profile shows reviews, experience and a price for a 50-minute lesson, and trial lessons can be 25 or 50 minutes. If the first tutor isn't right, Preply's free switch lets you try two more at no extra cost. Lessons are tailored to your level and goals, and the English tutors include specialists in Business English, pronunciation and test preparation. You can book through the website or the Preply app.

What's worth a look

Here are six popular subjects, with the lowest 50-minute lesson price among the first tutors shown on each page when we checked. Prices move as tutors change their rates.

Maths had the lowest starting price we saw, with lessons from £13 on the maths tutors page. For languages, Spanish tutors started from £20 and French and Japanese from £21, and most tutors on the first page sat between about £20 and £45 a lesson. Use the price filter on the search page to see tutors in your budget. German is a smaller pool, with just over 3,000 teachers listed, so it's worth messaging a tutor before you book to check their availability suits your week.

Current offers

• Student discount: 15% off your first monthly subscription payment.

After a trial, Preply lessons are usually paid as a regular subscription with your chosen tutor, so the student discount comes off the first of those payments.

How to save more

• Make full use of the free switch. If your first tutor isn't a match, try up to two more before you settle on a plan.
• Compare a few tutors at different prices. Experience and ratings matter more than price alone, and there are well-reviewed tutors at the lower end of each range.
• Start with a 25-minute trial if you just want to check a tutor's style. It's shorter and you'll learn quickly whether you get on.
• Pick a lesson pattern you'll keep up. A weekly lesson you actually attend is better value than a bigger plan that goes unused.
