⭐ 1 Star — Extremely Unprofessional Experience with Boubacar D. on Preply
I joined Preply with the genuine intention of learning French and booked a class with tutor Boubacar D. Unfortunately, what happened was extremely disappointing and, in my opinion, completely unprofessional.
The class was cancelled at the last minute, after I had already made time in my schedule for the lesson. When I questioned the cancellation, I was told that the student had requested it. I did not request the cancellation, so this explanation was very frustrating and unacceptable.
As a student, I expect a tutor to be honest, reliable, and respectful of my time. If a tutor cannot attend a scheduled class, the minimum expectation is clear and truthful communication—not blaming the student for something they did not request.
This experience made me question the professionalism and reliability of this tutor. Students are paying for a service and investing their valuable time into learning. Last-minute cancellations and misleading explanations should not be treated as acceptable.
Preply should seriously review this kind of behaviour and hold tutors accountable for respecting students and their schedules. I joined the platform to learn French, not to deal with unnecessary cancellations and explanations that do not match what actually happened.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend Boubacar D. to other students. I hope Preply takes this feedback seriously and ensures that students receive the professional service they are paying for.

Awesome tutors
Its great app to learn french with experience tutor .
subscription based—SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR ELSEWHERE.
While the tutors are affordable and talented, the app is based off of a subscription. You have to subscribe to a tutor to have lessons. If you have too many lessons, they expire within 28 days, or you have to use this complex workaround system where you are constantly scheduling, cancelling, and rescheduling your lessons for later dates so that you don’t waste your money. This is very unfortunate for you, and for your tutor, as it makes their schedule more variable and complex and breaks trust. SAVE YOUR MONEY. Find something else that is affordable, easier, and more relational.
