To become a tutor, you will need to:

You’ll see tips and examples at each step of the registration process to help you create a great tutor profile. When you complete registration, our Tutor Success team will review your profile within 5 business days. Once your profile is approved, students from around the world will see it on Preply and will be able to book lessons with you.

Sometimes, we don’t approve tutor profiles at the first attempt because the profile photo, video or description doesn’t meet our requirements. Make sure you use a real photo of yourself, take the time to record a short video and describe your strengths as a tutor in the description. A surefire way to get approved is to follow the tips given at each step of the registration process.

Also, be sure to avoid mentioning any contact details, lesson prices or misleading information in your profile description and video. We’ll ask you to remove this information, which will slow down the approval process.

The commission for a trial lesson with a new student is 100%. The commission for the subsequent lessons starts at 33% and decreases to 18%: the more hours you teach on Preply, the lower the rate of commission. Learn more about Preply’s commission model.

Most popular tutors on Preply earn up to $550 a week.
