Not connecting to calendar
It would’ve been nice if my lesson could’ve connected to my calendar or used AM/PM designations. I could’ve sworn I chose a 4 pm time slot but my instructor read 4 am. I couldn’t go back to see what I’d selected but my reminder in the app only referred to 4:00. I don’t want to risk more mistakes and waste money or not get the time I booked (I had no indication that I’d not been booked for 4 pm).
Also, it’s unnecessarily unclear how the session will take place. I’d expected to get some clear prompting about where to “show up” for the session, but that was left to my instructor to give me the details, so it wasn’t seamless.
If this is a booking app only, that’s cool. But without the calendar connection function and any automated direction, it didn’t really make much easier.Show lesshjm730318
Developer Response
We appreciate such detailed feedback. The 12-hour format is a common request from many customers and we hope that we'll get our hands on doing it soon. Right now you can connect the calendar using the website, but we plan to add proper sync through the app soon as well.Its a great platform, but app is pretty uncomfortable.
Its a great idea to make a platform where its possible to find a teacher from the other part of the world, but this app don’t have that important stuff as website does.
The most annoying fact that I can not go to the classroom through this app, so all the time when I want to check my homework I have to open a website. So why do I need this app if I can only reschedule lessons there?
I wish in next update they will change this stuff so I’ll be able to study just with my phone, because right now its impossible.Show lessFoxFromMars
App & My Instructor - Guille C.
I started using Preply a few weeks ago and have had an amazing experience.
My instructor is amazing! His name is Guillermo “Guille”. He lives in Germany and speaks 4 languages. He’s very patient, professional, attentive and knowledgeable. He speaks perfect English and Spanish so he is able to provide a lot of insight to cultures, vocabulary, sarcasm, proper use of grammar and conjugations and a lot more. The lessons are fantastic because he is well prepared for his classes with a plan, and happily adjusts if I have questions about a topic. There’s optional videos, homework and documents he has to learn more on free time. I’d recommend Guille to anyone looking to learn Spanish, English, German or French. I already feel more confident in my Spanish.
The Preply app is very user friendly and easy to use. Features like the messaging app, placement testing, video gallery, easy transfer of hours, and more make it appealing. I’ve used a few other platforms but Preply is the best I’ve ran across.Show lessAutumnJBreeeze
My Russian Teacher is a incredible
Katrina Z speaks Russian beautifully. She started by carefully considering my goals and tastes and every lesson takes me further in direction O want to go. She incorporates challenging grammatical content, fascinating cultural notes and through it all encourages encourages me by seeming genuinely excited to be turning on so many lights for me.
On the one hand she ambitious like me, but at the same time she makes grammar drills, reading and listening assignments fit my needs and my sense or fun. She corrects me without ever being condescending treats my errors opportunities to improve. I’m sure she’s decades younger than I, but in our lessons I feel like I have a kind attentive (not to mention drop dead gorgeous) Mamochka. I woke up this morning for my lesson and told myself «Мне очень повезло», (“I’m very lucky”) with such a teacher.Show lessGrandma Amanda
Organized - Fun
My daughter speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. She has always wanted to learn French and now she is in a French/English program for middle school. With C-19 closing schools we wanted her French to progress. We selected 3 different tutors including Fred to see which one would help her the most. I observed a huge lesson and then asked my daughter whom she thought would help her improve her French. She said Fred because he is very organized, makes the lesson applicable to daily life and used videos for fun. We are now working with Fred 2x a week for the next 12 weeks. I will provide updated reviews as we progress.Show lessAVTS1
LOOK what you’ve made me do
Okay. Back to one star because it has just hidden my profile again for a fourth time.. LOL, SURE! not a problem.
I'm a language teacher from preply, which gave me plenty of opportunities to find students and earn decently. BUT that was what I thought until today.
My profile was hidden due to certain reasons, of which I had no idea. However, with my profile hidden, new studnets won't be able to find me on the platform anymore, so I wrote to the support team to ask them what happened.
A representative told me I was reported absent from more than one lesson, which had already happened to me twice. Now the third time, and we all know it was nonsense. After he told me he had to check with their tutor success team or something, he used bold letters and exclamation point to tell me that they work from MONDAY to FRIDAY(in bold) and Thanks for my patience!
No! What if I am not patient? This is the third time it happened to me! So unreasonable and unfair! Now you told me to be patient?
You could say I am a bit too sensitive but I actually felt bad when facing a representative harboring such a POLITE and WARM attitude!
Other staff are helpful and friendly, and I do appreciate their help. I'd give five stars to them but none to this guy.Show lessSunfloweralpaca
