In today's video, I'm going to be discussing the benefits of conducting lessons on Preply and loosely comparing it to conducting lessons outside of Preply.

After over a year on the site I've decided to update my intro video. This is simply to use as a link to upload to Preply but anyone is free to watch this if you want to gather any inspiration when it comes to making your own Intro video for Preply.

Hey! I'm about to teach my first trial lesson to a 4 year old. First question: how do you upload exercises from onestopenglish & linguahouse & english4tutors to preply so that your student can also see the exercises? they seem to be in pdf format ? also how do you explain english to a beginner if they dont speak any english at all? feel like the exercises I'm finding on preply are too advance for someone that speaks nothing
Hey Julia, first of all you've picked out the exact same three websites that I use for my resources which is good. I've never had a problem sending PDF files through Preply to my students. Otherwise, what you can do, is share your screen during the lesson of these files and go through them with your student too. If you are unable to send PDF files you can screenshot aspects of the content, for example the reading or the exercises from Onestopenglish, and send the documents to your student that way. Hope this helps
@@teachercook-e2572 do you have any advice about a platform which has a clear structured plan for a course of sessions - i find preply difficult to find the right thing and those other platforms a bit random with lots of different pdfs - dont really know where to start, can you advise anything?
actually too good advices. Wish you luck always

Great video!!!
Good job , your tips and tricks were great.
Glad to hear that!
Great tips. Thank you so much! Just 1 question: When a student books a trial lesson (or any lesson) with us, do we get a chance to chat with them beforehand to know what they expect of us, the topics they would want to be taught, just so we can prepare a better lesson in advance and be more confident?
Thanks for the kind words! Yes you do get to chat to them firstly about the lesson and their learning intentions, just make sure not to exchange any personal details or suggest speaking outside of the platform as this is against Preply's policy prior to having the first trial class.
Hi Alex. I'm enjoying your videos. However its 2024 and your vodeos are 3 years old. There are many changes since then on yhe platform. Coupd you make a more recent video pls for newbies like me. Btw i haven't got even 1 trial class still.😅
Hi there, I'm glad you've been enjoying my videos. Not all of my videos are 3 years old. I made a video just two months ago talking about some common mistakes on Preply. You're welcome to check it out
I can only sign up for learning but I want to teach can some one help me out
Thank you so much
After watching an older video of yours, I'm glad to know that you ended up increasing your prices Also, you're the first person that I've seen on CZcams giving a real life example of how asking for a review can end up badly. Kudos for that I use PowerPoints during my classes and I send them to my students after each lesson. In all of these pp, there's a slide in the end with "Did you like this lesson? Your rating helps me a lot :) " + link to the website Here where I live is too late, but tomorrow I'm gonna check preply, to see if I can also start there, since I wanna start giving more classes. Thanks for the tips
Honestly I don't think that letting students negotiate prices is a good advice. People don't do that with language schools, so they shouldn't do that with tutors either. If someone asks you that, my advice is to say "For the amount of work that I put into preparing the classes, I can't keep charging the current amount. What we can do instead is to adjust the duration of the classes so we can keep working together".
You talked about settings, the only 'Setting' I have is the one next to the 'Community' button but there is nothing about booking 2hr before the lesson start, where are these settings?
Click onto 'Calendar', then on the left hand side press 'set up availability' and you'll be able to find the settings there that I talked about in the video. Hope this helps.
I'm really thankful for you Alex for doing this video! I have my first trial lesson with my first student on Preppy tomorrow, and I was a bit confused and anxious before watching this video. But not anymore after watching such an amazing video
Hi there, Glad to hear the video helped put your mind at ease before your first class. Hope the class went well and you're continuing to enjoy teaching on Preply.
Do you get paid for a trial lesson?
Thank you 😊
Hi, wont you write the name of the app you're suggesting for for withdrawals please?
This was awesome man. I'm starting out on Preply and didn't know what to do. Thanks a a lot
Glad I could help!
He's right,I am also a tutor, you can check Awo Cyril Awo and see what it would be like learning English with me
Wow thanks so much for these points...I appreciate. I'm a new teacher on preply,, its hard getting students.. but i believe i would get soon
have u got any yet? i am kind of interested in teaching too
You're welcome, all the best on your teaching journey!
Thank You so much
Thank you for great video. Kindly explain how to link preply to Facebook n Instagram.
Student sent me a private message, before I even realized my account was deactivated 😭😭 I don't even know where, how he got my numbers. How do I go about that? I tried appealing but couldn't get hep😢
Sorry about that, your contact is not obligatory,so you must not put it
I am just starting out and just got a msge from the student to contact them on WhatsApp.. Is that allowed?
I missed a second lesson with a student. Not a trial though but I think my profile is hidden. How long will it be hidden please. How can I avoid being hidden?
Hey mate, had my first set of lessons today, did 5 and had 1 book in further lessons, would you say this is a good starting point?
Be aware of Preply tricks on teachers. Firstly they don't pay you for trial lessons while they charge students fully. Secondly, they close your account whenever they wish with no notice and taking all your money from your Preply wallet. This happened to me. There is no trace of my account on Preply now as they completely deleted it with no explanation and they even do not reply my emails.
Hey... great help.. Im a science (chemistry) teacher ..and I'm very beginner So could u please help me out by answering some questions 1.can u tell me about how to conduct classes on preply Also what method should we adapt when a new student approach us ...we have to share material with students Also can u please tell me .if we can conduct classes on zoom? Or is it necessary to turn your video on during online leasson
These are the best advices. Thank you
Thank you for the info. this is really helpful and honest advice, am just one week into preply, no students yet, contemplating reducing my rate(currently at 10 usd), considering that am African any advice for me.
Patience is key. A lot of people go weeks without finding any students. But once you start getting some and the reviews add up, it should get easier.
Thank you so much for such an informative video for us. I want to ask, is it necessary to conduct a 50 minute trial lesson or can be short or longer than that?
Thanks for the kind words. I believe some students can now choose to book 25 minute lessons as well as 50 minute lessons. I also, on occasion, get students who are still able to book 60 minute trial lessons.
Can you please provide the to the payment platform, I have never heard of it 🙏
It's called Wise
Hey Mate! How can I book a lesson with you?
Thank u so much!!!
Not so easy to get students bro. Preply is cool anyway
Yeah sometimes it can be tough. I do like Preply, especially since it's been my income for the past 5 years!
@@teachercook-e2572 wow! Great man. I get inspired from your vlogs!
Lots of good information for new teachers starting out. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot Justin!
Great advice brother. Really useful 👍
Hi. I'm new on preply and I'd like to ask couple questions. I'm going to have a trial lesson this evening, but I don't know how to conduct it. I have an extra teaching material but I don't know how to apply it on the platform. Do I have to worry about it or preply provides an extra teaching material on the trial lesson?
Good question, you're welcome to use Preply's provided materials if you wish or your own materials. I usually use free lesson plans from 'onestopenglish' or 'linguahouse'. I feel these are often rather up to date and engaging for students of all levels. Hope this helps
Hey I would love to ask is preply giving out teaching material or you have to have your own
Preply provides their own materials but you're welcome to use your own too. Preply doesn't make you use their resources
Best video on increasing price
I've got a question about the materials we use during the class, does Preply provides the materials? I mean where I should I choose the materials?
Did you find this out yet?
Preply provides their own materials but you're welcome to use your own too. Preply doesn't make you use their resource. If you would like to use your own materials I would recommend using 'onestopenglish' or 'linguahouse' for free lesson plans
This was sooo helpful!! THANK YOU.
Excellent video, clear and coherent. Thanks for the information.
¡Muchas gracias por tu ayuda! Very insightful!👏🏼😁
Hey there I am new to preply, does the student choose the subject or you?
It depends on the student. If a student would like to learn about a specific subject then by all means they're welcome to suggest it.
How to use zoom for preply
As you would for any regular Zoom meeting. Just make sure to take one or two screenshots during the Zoom meeting as sometimes Preply ask for proof that the meeting took place outside of Preply. By teaching on the Preply site the lessons are automatically confirmed since they can see that the lesson took place.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
Thank you so much for making this video, its informative and super helpful. can't wait for more content like this💯
Wow this is so far the best video I have seen on trial lessons very explicit
Where do you get your grammar or reading exercises?
Onestopenglish and linguahouse are the best websites in my opinion. Hope this helps.
does preply give materials??@@teachercook-e2572
Hey I'm trying to follow you on Instagram but can't find anyone with your handle. Do you have a different Instagram name or profile??
Hi there, sorry for the delayed reply. I decided to get rid of this Instagram due to some unfriendly comments. I'm sorry about that
thanks for the great advice, man
You're very welcome!
@@teachercook-e2572 The comment I made was 4 months ago. I've been doing Preply ever since. It's been such a lovely experience!
