No refundable trials I like the fact that you can see the description and background of each tutor, so you can find one that might suit you. Also, it's very convenient to see all available timeslots of tutors and if you are shy to say goodbye you can just stop scheduling classes :) What upset me is the refund policy, each student has only 1 trial and in case for any reason the trial didn't happen, they will not return it to you. Like, in my case, the teacher didn't show up for a lesson, but I wasn't able to use trials anymore to schedule a lesson with some other teachers :/

Fantastic teacher! I can't recommend Verbalplanet -- and my teacher specifically -- highly enough. Language is meant to be spoken and you can only learn so much from a book, language apps, etc. Live instruction is the only way to prepare for the give and take of actual conversations -- especially if you plan to use your new language when you travel! Verbalplanet provides a user-friendly platform, and you book your lessons in your own time zone, so there's no confusion about when your lesson will be. Reasonable prices, too! Grazie mille, Verbalplanet!

My teacher is kind and personable My teacher is kind and personable. She is always there on time. She is encouraging and although we use a workbook, she goes off script to help me understand things I struggle with and she helps me practice things I want to work on! Sometimes we have a bad internet connection and she is patient, calling me back numerous times if necessary. (Poor connections are always on my end!) She is kind and we sometimes talk about culture and cultural differences!

Verbalplanet: the best tool available for online language tutors Verbalplanet is the best tool available for online language tutors. Great marketing done that allows teachers to easily find students, flexible options available to set up fees and payment options. And great calendar for all, whatever their time zone in the world. I have used verbalplanet for over 10 years. A gem! Thanks

Excellent instructors Excellent instructors with very reasonable prices! It was easy to find a competent tutor and it’s been a great learning experience! I’ve been studying a little more than a year now and everything has been great.
