Why keep paying this predatory system Why keep paying this predatory system? It's a rip off. Once you're introduced to your teacher ditch them and pay your tutor directly. VP takes a huge cut for nothing more than introducing you to each other.

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.

Excellent, Dedicated Instructors Verbalplanet makes it easy to find excellent, dedicated instructors.

An excellent teacher and an excellent service My instructor on Verbal planet has helped me immensely. I have been studying Italian for years but have made more progress in the last year with my tutor than ever before. She encourages and challenges me. My progress with Italian has inspired me to start learning French which I am comprehending easily because of my Italian studies. I'm also a fan of Verbal Planet because they don't price gouge. I previously worked with another service who charged too much and kept most of the fees for themselves with less than half going to the actual tutor.

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!
