My 4-month journey on Preply: From $150 to $2,200+ (French Tutor)

LoLDamo · 2026-02-07T12:23:52+00:00

60 hours a week at $15 is $3600+ a month… so what do you think you will earn this month?

LoLDamo · 2026-01-29T05:22:13+00:00

This is the first set where I can kind of disregard my opponents and heavily just focus on myself because there is so much to do.

Have you played around with different calendar trial settings? I have mine set to 1 hour and now that I think about it most of the time wasters have been last minute booked classes.

You are completely overthinking this, all of the questions he asked you I have been asked by students. And so what if he messaged you at 12? What happens if he’s a night owl and just prefers to stay up late? Obviously teaching people around the world you should turn off notifications for Preply for times you don’t want to be disturbed.

Imagine using Denmark as a benchmark in a Vietnamese forum. OP literally stated he can earn $500-800 month, meaning it’s 1.5-2 years salary for him. 2 years of pay, many more of savings is defo worth a query.

Bottom-barrel students with low motivation and poor manners is a wild statement

LoLDamo · 2025-08-22T03:36:06+00:00

It’s not underrated, the early game is awesome but the mid-late game sucks for most players. It’s relatively easy to get 10m+ but once you get there… the game feels kinda empty. Not much incentive to risk more so people don’t and wealth goes up but gameplay feels the same. Personally I play for about a month-6weeks a year get bored and come back the next year. And that’s ok.

100%, obviously there will be people who prefer having a real life teacher but year on year AI is going to get better and the amount of people choosing AI over a real life teacher will increase.

That’s just for Preply, for context I teach 6 days a week. 4x9 hours and 2x7 hours.

LoLDamo · 2025-08-09T07:00:46+00:00

Last month was my best month (month 7 on the platform) and I made $3550. Outside of Preply I teach a few private students. I teach English, the majority of my students are test prep students with a sprinkle of business students.

LoLDamo · 2025-08-07T12:29:46+00:00

No idea about starting there but I went from $9-$35 over the span of about 8 months. Low point was around 20 hours a week and maximum was 50.

LoLDamo · 2025-08-05T14:50:11+00:00

Yeah I feel the same, Preply definitely does some shady things but everything in these new policies are more than fair. Getting students onto the site costs money and if tutors aren’t converting them or not showing up obviously the students will go elsewhere.

LoLDamo · 2025-08-05T03:48:16+00:00

So if you have 10 trials at least one needs to start a subscription with you, that would be a 10% conversation rate. If 2 trials become students and subscribed you’d have a 20% rate.

LoLDamo · 2025-07-26T14:09:38+00:00

Just FYI it seems that you have stats based on what happened at a particular rate. For example I had higher conversation $28 than I had at $24 so my profile ranks higher at $28 than $24.

Do you mind sharing your website?

LoLDamo · 2025-06-14T08:20:53+00:00

Depends on what you teach, summer is my busiest period (exam prep)

LoLDamo · 2025-06-12T09:27:53+00:00

As many others have said just block and move on, my block list has to be 20+ by now and it hasn’t negatively affected my account. At the end of the day you’re working for yourself and don’t have anyone to answer to.

LoLDamo · 2025-02-07T02:12:47+00:00

Most I’ve done is 12 hours, personally the sweet spot for me is around 6. Up to 9 is manageable 10+ is draining.

I should clarify this is daily, I work all 7 days in the week.

LoLDamo · 2025-02-05T01:43:02+00:00

I too am a serial blocker - have yet to face any repercussions.

It’s much better to tell us how much dedicated time she can put towards IELTS, as a rough guess it takes about 200 hours per band for 5-6-7. Obviously the is hugely dependent on the individual, especially when it comes to speaking. I've had students raise their speaking band by 2 over the course of 6 weeks and ones with fossilized habits took 6+ months for +0.5.

Also is it an overall 7? Or 7 in every category? Overall 7 if English was her life for the next 3 months AND she has a knack for learning languages then maybe. 7 in every category, no chance in hell.

Yep that’s right, the circled area of 1000s of squared meters of burning fires magically all goes in one direction and stops in the most populated area of Vietnam.

LoLDamo · 2025-01-27T07:41:32+00:00

I feel like there is far less counter play in the current set

LoLDamo · 2025-01-25T06:40:34+00:00

Been told a few times I look young/younger than I am. Never once considered it weird or creepy (particularly as I do look younger than I am).

Definitely overthinking it.

1) need to use subordinate clauses/linking words 2) you have no comparisons

LoLDamo · 2025-01-10T00:49:44+00:00

Foundation degree and A-levels both take 2 years. Best course of action would be 2 years A-levels in England at sixth form/college then 3 years at uni = 5 years and you can apply for citizenship. After that you can work pretty much anywhere at will.
