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.

Native speakers! It’s so important to practice with a native speaker. Verbal Planet is an easy and affordable way to be matched with a tutor. Shout out to Aurélie Simon-Chautemps, whose lessons are terrific and whose humor I can’t do without.

What makes the Verbal Planet experience great? What makes the Verbal Planet experience great for me? My tutors, of course. I am lucky enough to have found 4 excellent teachers who have helped me develop my abilities even (and especially) when I was totally lost and needed encouragement. Kudos and many thanks to those who have become friends and to Verbal Planet for making our work together easier.

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 :/

They don’t approve your profile just because they don’t want more teachers. It’s been 4 days since I’m trying to approve my teacher profile and they keep reject me. They NEVER answered me once telling me why. I’ve added a new profile pic, my experiences, my education, Skype account..still nothing. They just don’t want more teachers and they don’t tell you.
