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.

A great platform for learning a language If you are interested in learning a new language with a native speaker, Verbal Planet is a great choice. I find the platform easy to use, for vetting and selecting a language teacher, scheduling sessions and managing payments. Working with a native speaker is much more productive than using apps. The average cost for instruction is very reasonable.

Great tutor Great selection of languages I have completed 4 or 5 lessons in Dutch. I have been booking every Thursday at 11 am. My tutor is wonderful, and I hoped to continue working with her. I found that no more lessons were available at the time I could attend. I feel very sad to lose my instructor. I now signed up for a different instructor. Continuity is important to me so I will request some way to sign up for multiple lessons so that we can keep the same instructor. Otherwise, everybody, make SURE you sign up well in advance or talk to your instructor about your desire to book regular lessons.

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.
